Slinky Matt Lycra
Soft and smooth with a silky handle, our Slinky Matt Lycra gives support and form and dries very quickly, making this the perfect swimwear fabric. Our custom printed swimwear fabric has a stark white base tone, making it perfect for printing on. Your designs will look bold and striking with great colour intensity.

Lycra Soft Sheen
Lycra Soft Sheen has a pretty, shimmering face, which adds a fashion element. It is also stretchy and form-fitting, with slightly less support than Slinky Matt Lycra. Your designs won't fade away, as our dyes soak deep into the fabric, leaving a strong, lasting print. Colours look vibrant on the stark white base colour.

Style it with
A good bikini lends itself to several different looks. Our personalised bikini UK looks fabulous when worn alone, but why not make more of an outfit of it and style it up with some more of our customised clothing? Slip our sassy and sexy Custom Skater Dress over the top and make the bikini work as personalised underwear. Or, if you are getting a little chilly on the beach, layer on our cosy and made to order Personalised Hoodie, and create an adorable, casual summer look.
Care instruction

Great!
Great product! It's made well and the print is clear.
I like how the top and bottom can be easily adjusted to you because of the straps.
It would be great to have different styles to choose from.
Even though I'm a cup D I'm a bra size 30D so the cup size was too big for me (But covered everything which made me feel more comfortable so I didn't ask to have some fabric cut off). It would be good to know the sizes of the different cups because every bra D cup is a different size. I would say if you're a bra size 28-32 get a bra cup down from your usual one because the cup size would be too big for you.

Paradise Bikini
The print quality of the bikini is amazing, colours and pattern have printed so vibrantly!! Really impressed with this product and would recommend using Contrado. They are so quick to print and deliver products and are really good quality.
I need a larger top size than bottom size. Would this bikini suit me?
Women come in all shapes and sizes, so at Contrado, we have designed a made to order bikini, which is mix and match! When you start designing your bespoke bikini, you can select your bikini top size (from cup size AA to F) and select your perfect brief size (from UK size 2-4 to 30-32). Plus size bikini tops are a speciality of ours, as is making sure you receive the perfect customised bikini to suit your size and shape.
What sort of fabric is the Custom Bikini made from?
Your personalised bikini UK is made from our beautifully soft and supportive Lycra. We have chosen this Lycra fabric to make your bikini, due to its fabulous ability to stretch and fit your form with is supportive nature. It also dries quickly when wet. The Lycra material will feel great against your skin and your designs will pop out from the stark white background.
Is the string bikini top the only top option available?
We currently have a couple of options for bikinis. As well as our bespoke Bikini, which has string ties, we also have our Custom Bandeau Top and our Customised Hot Pants. The bandeau top is a fun and relaxed option and eliminates the chance of pesky tan lines! If you are looking for a little more coverage with your bikini, then a bandeau top and custom hot pants combo would be perfect for you.

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 colour 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 colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour 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)
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
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 colours are used. It can be minimised 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 my colours 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 fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Can you perfectly join two separately printed panels?
We always try to provide the utmost precision in printing and manufacturing. However, due to unavoidable stretching or movement of the fabric at the time of sewing, we can not guarantee a perfect alignment of the pattern on the seams of the garment. Generally we are accurate to 2-3mm, which is sufficient for most reasons but can pose minor problems with patterns or geometric designs.
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 colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Is it possible to print your own label?
Most of our clothing is made with a label space. You can print your label and add information about your brand. If you want to sew your own labels, we offer customizable labels of different sizes.
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 colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Why are there slight colour differences between my orders?
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour 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 colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. 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.
Why is there a barcode inside my clothing?
Due to our internal processes here at Contrado, there will be a barcode printed on your garment. This is inside the clothing and will not affect your design. It is usually found towards the bottom.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
