Slinky Matt Lycra

Printing on custom made swimwear requires special fabric. Slinky Matt Lycra glides over the body smoothly and provides great support and form, making it perfect for personalized swimwear. Lycra is the ideal platform for printing bold, colorful and intricate designs.

Lycra Soft Sheen

Slightly less supportive than Slinky Matt Lycra, however, our beautiful Lycra Soft Sheen is characterized by its shimmery surface, which makes prints and designs seem to come alive. This Lycra fabric makes a wonderful fashion swimsuit, which will look fresh and contemporary.

Designer Swimsuits Created By You

If you love the idea of owning a beautiful and one of a kind bathing kit , then why not create your own swimsuit? Personalized swimsuits can be a great way to show off your personal style in a truly unique way. Upload your design, make your own swimsuit, and leave the rest to us. Within a couple of days you could be strutting your stuff on the beach.

Please note: We advise to use colors, pictures, photo collages to make use of the full power of personalized printing and avoid leaving plain areas of white. Florence net is perfect lining for swimwear, due to the stark white color of this fabric, extremely pale designs may become semi-transparent when wet.

Cut and Sew Swimsuit Kit

If you are a keen crafter and enjoy a touch of DIY, then why not take advantage of our cut and sew swimsuit kit? This option allows you to literally cut and sew your swimsuit yourself. Our technicians print your designs onto the fabric pattern in your selected size, along with the elastic. You can then have the fun of cutting your swimsuit at home and sewing it yourself. This is a great option for anyone who enjoys spending time on the sewing machine making their own clothes. You can select this option when you click the green "Start Design" button.

Style it with

What we love most about our handmade swimsuit is the fact that it can be worn in more than one way. Create the perfect relaxed holiday look and tie one of our Customized Sarongs around your waist, to give your swimsuit an extra dimension. You can complete the look by adding a pair of our Custom Made Espadrilles, and showcase your personal style from head to toe! The swimsuit can also be worn as a bodysuit and worn under jeans or our Custom Leggings, creating a beautifully streamline and sleek silhouette, which is so on-trend for the season. Top it off with our Customized Baseball Cap and create a designer wardrobe filled with personality.

Qualité de l'imprimé Je suis très heureuse de la qualité du costume de bain commandé. Mais malheureusement, ma photo n'était pas suffisamment bonne, l'imprimé est trop flou. Je ferai mieux mes devoirs pour le prochain et pour les prochaines commandes.

Frequently asked questions:

I have quite a large cup size, would this swimsuit fit me?

As we make all of our exclusive swimsuits to order, we can make them in most sizes. Our current sizes range from a UK size 6-8 up to a UK size 30-32. We can create plus size swimsuits and swimsuits for petite sizes, so whatever your cup size, you should find our personalized swimsuit flattering and comfortable. If you have any concerns, please get in touch with us and we will do whatever we can to help find you your perfect swimsuit.

What is the cut and style like of the swimsuit?

A classic swimsuit design suits many body types. Our Custom Swimsuit with Straps is no exception. It features medium width straps, which are crucial for giving support to larger cup sizes. This personalized swimsuit also has a flattering high leg cut and a low scoop back, which gives it a touch of sex appeal, without having to show too much. Fitted and flattering, this swimsuit will look and feel great on many shapes and sizes.

Is this handmade swimsuit easy to dry and look after?

Our customized swimwear is not only a dream to wear, but it is also a dream to care for. Made from our strong and flexible Lycra, which is already water repellent, when your swimsuit gets wet, it just needs to be hung to drip dry, in the sun if possible, and you will find that within an hour or so, your suit will be dry. It also dries very evenly. Cleaning is easy too - simply wash on a 30 degree cycle and your print will continue to look crisp and fresh.

Print Guideline

What's the best resolution to print in?

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change color using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
How will my image scale?

When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
Which color model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

We advise providing images in the RGB color space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best color results. What does this mean? In your editing software, choose RGB as the working space and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
Maximum dimensions

For most of our fabrics there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10 yds max to visualize the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20 yds or x4 for 40 yds for e.g.) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?

Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 0.2" white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
What is crocking and why might it occur?

Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colors are used. It can be minimized by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Why do the colors appear lighter on organic fabrics?

Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibers, reducing the color strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colors we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.

Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?

Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation transfer paper to order, and if you have access to a heat press you can press your own fabrics easily.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colors and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
What is the situation with material shrinkage?

Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary from print run to print run and between fabrics, so we would advise to order a little more material than you require for your project.
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?

We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?

At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Why are there slight color differences between my orders?

We work at improving our color profiles all the time. Though rare, it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight color differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such color variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.

Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage

We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:

Light Fabrics (0.59oz-2.95oz): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 0.24" - 0.32" / 6mm-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 0.48"-0.56""/ 12-16mm
Medium Fabrics (2.98oz-5.90oz): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.4" - 1.6" / 35-40mm
Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.5" / 35-40mm

All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage, it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.

How Would you Like the Edge?

We have four finishing options for your fabric order:

As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border.
Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer.
Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile.

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.
