ORDERING
Making the right bikini decision for you couldn't be easier!

You can either pick one of our classic designs from our online shop and send me your measurements using the online form or you can order custom and get something really special.
During the consultation you can try on sample bikinis to see what bikini cut suits you best, you can compare fabrics and colours and view first hand the crystals and connectors so you can make more informed decisions.

We give a maximum of 4 samples, and charge £2.00 to cover postage. Please request your fabric/colour samples via e-mail to chrissie@misscbikini.co.uk

Getting the perfect fit is essential
Measurement
First measurements are taken around 8 weeks out from your show date.
I prefer to do all measurement and fittings in person to ensure accuracy, but I am aware that is not always possible.
For clients that can't make it to the studio you can watch the video below and submit your measurements after checkout.

Fittings
Final fitting takes place 2-3 weeks out from your show date, where final alterations will be established. This can be done at the studio, or final measurements can be submitted via email.
