Double Take High Rise Bikini: Swim Bottom Fit Guide

Quick answer

Choose the Double Take High Rise Bikini if you want lace on the front, a smooth seamless back, and a higher rise that stays put without visible panty lines. Size it for your hip and waist measurements first, then use the adjustable rise as your coverage preference.

What high rise actually changes on a bikini bottom

Rise describes where the waistband sits, not how much of the back is covered. A high rise bikini can still have a moderate or cheeky cut, so check the back style separately from the front height. The Double Take High Rise Bikini pairs a higher front with an invisible seamless microfiber back, which is why it reads as a lace-front bottom rather than a full coverage swim brief.

If you are used to low-rise or mid-rise swim bottoms, expect the waistband to sit closer to your natural waist. That changes how the bottom feels when you sit, swim, or wear it under a cover-up. It also means the leg opening sits higher on the hip, which can affect how the lace stretches across the front.

Why the lace and microfiber construction matters for fit

The front uses a technical lace with four-way stretch, while the back is seamless microfiber. Four-way stretch helps the lace move with you instead of digging in, and the seamless back reduces the chance of panty lines under a cover-up or dress. The trade-off is that lace has less structure than a plain swim fabric, so it follows your shape rather than holding it in.

That makes this bottom a better match for someone who wants comfort and a smooth back rather than firm compression. If you want shaping, a control swim bottom is a different product category. If you want a lace look without lines, this construction is the reason to consider it.

Sizing when you are between sizes

Commando lists size and color options for this bottom, but the catalog does not publish a size chart with numeric waist or hip measurements. That is a real limitation: you cannot convert your measurements to a size from the product page alone. Use the brand's general size guide or your usual Commando size, and treat the lace front as the less forgiving part of the fit.

If you are between sizes and prefer a looser feel, size up; if you prefer the lace to sit flat without slack, size down. Because the back is seamless microfiber, it has more give than the lace front, so the front is the area to check first when the bottom arrives.

Coverage expectations and when to choose another bottom

High waisted swim bottom coverage varies by cut, and this bikini is not a full-coverage brief. It is best described as a high-rise bikini with a lace front and a seamless back, so expect less back coverage than a swim short or a high-waisted full brief. If you want maximum coverage for active swimming or family settings, choose a different bottom style.

The higher rise also means the bottom may show above low-rise cover-ups and sarongs. That is a styling choice, not a fit defect. Check your cover-up rise against the bikini rise before you commit to the pairing.

Decision rules for buying the Double Take High Rise Bikini

Start with your hip measurement, not your dress size: Because no numeric size chart is published for this bottom, measure your hips and waist and compare them to the brand's general size guide. If your hips and waist fall into different sizes, choose the size that fits your hip measurement and check that the lace front lies flat. The lace front is the least forgiving part; if it pulls or wrinkles, try the adjacent size.
Choose high rise only if you want waistband coverage: Pick this bottom if you want the waistband to sit at or near your natural waist and you are comfortable with a higher leg opening. If you prefer a lower waistband or a mid-rise feel, choose a different rise. Rise is a preference, not a fit problem; do not size up to change where the waistband sits.
Match the back coverage to your activity: The seamless microfiber back is designed for a smooth look, not maximum coverage. For swimming laps, beach sports, or settings where you want full coverage, choose a swim short or full brief instead. If you are unsure about back coverage, check the product images for the back cut before ordering.
Check your cover-up rise before you pair it: A high rise bikini can peek above low-rise sarongs, shorts, and dresses. Hold your cover-up against your waist to see whether the bikini waistband will show, and decide whether that is the look you want. Pair with a mid- or high-rise cover-up if you prefer a clean line.
