Quick answer
For the Nocturne Bikini, take your hip and waist measurements and compare them to the size chart—this ridged lace style runs true to size but the satin panel means a snug fit is key to avoid gaping.
Why fit matters for this lace bikini
The Nocturne Bikini combines a rigid stretch lace with a satin front panel. The lace has some give, but the satin panel does not stretch much, so the waistband should sit comfortably without digging in. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a relaxed fit or the smaller for a more secure hold.
How to size and style your Nocturne Bikini
- Take your measurements: Measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the fullest point. Compare both to the Thistle and Spire size chart using the larger measurement to determine your size. Do not rely on your usual panty size alone; the satin panel can make the waistband feel tighter.
- Check the fit at the waist and leg openings: The bikini should sit flat against your skin without rolling or creating a muffin top. The leg openings should lie smoothly without gaping or pinching. If the satin panel pulls or wrinkles, try the next size up. Gaping at the front satin panel means the waist is too loose; pinching means too tight.
- Style for your occasion: Wear the Nocturne Bikini under high-waisted jeans or a midi skirt for a seamless look. For a bolder style, pair it with a matching bralette or bodysuit from the same collection. Avoid wearing under very thin leggings—the ridged lace texture may show through.
- Care for the delicate fabrics: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle lingerie detergent, or use a mesh bag on a delicate machine cycle. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Never wring or twist the lace; it can lose its shape and elasticity.
About this product
-
Nocturne Bikini: The Nocturne Bikini uses a hipster ridged lace with a satin panel at the front. The lace is 90% Nylon, 10% Elastane (stretch) and 100% Nylon (rigid). The elastane content gives the lace some stretch for comfort, but the rigid lace and satin panel mean the waistband may feel less forgiving—so accurate sizing is important.
