FAQs

There is no preferred bra shape over the other. When choosing your bra style you should choose the one which you think would suit your frame better. Competitors with smaller breasts may find the Bombshell more appealing as it has 4.2cm thick padding. The Sweetheart is flattering on all size breasts as it has the ability to have padding inserted and competitors with larger breasts will find this a better fit. The Triangle Top is also available for competitors who prefer no cup but still gives the option to insert padding.

Please refer to our sizing guide which gives you a full description of all our knicker styles and which federations & categories they are suited for. You should also consult with your coach or the organisers of your chosen federation if you are still unsure.

For bikinis on a 6 week turn around Black Ice Bikinis requires a 50% deposit when the order is placed, the remaining balance is requested to be paid within 35 days. An email reminder is sent 10 days prior to this. Rush service bikinis are requested to be paid in full when the order is submitted.

When you submit your order we ask for your current measurements as we make the bikini and adjust from there. You can select the option to submit your new hipbone measurement after 4 weeks so that the bottoms can be adjusted for your cut. Please note the top cannot be altered so please select the correct cup size using our guide. If you already have show day measurements then you can submit these on the order form however please double check them against the Black Ice Bikinis measurement guide.
