Frequently Asked Questions About Empreinte Swimwear
Does Empreinte swimwear come in cup sizes?
Yes — this is what makes it unique. Empreinte swimwear is properly cup-sized, running from D to G cup, with the same precision fit engineering as their lingerie. The cups are underwired and shaped to support, lift, and flatter the fuller bust in exactly the way a well-fitted bra does. If you wear a D cup or above and have struggled to find swimwear that genuinely fits and supports, this collection will change your experience of swimwear entirely.
What is the difference between Empreinte swimwear and Maryan Mehlhorn?
Both brands offer cup-sized swimwear and both are exceptional — but they have different strengths. Empreinte is the choice for customers who know and love Empreinte lingerie and want the same fit engineering in their swimwear — the cup construction is directly derived from the lingerie. Maryan Mehlhorn has a wider size range and a broader range of styles and colours each season. Many of our customers own pieces from both. If you are unsure which is right for you, please get in touch and we will guide you.
Can I mix and match Empreinte bikini tops and bottoms?
Yes — Empreinte offer several different bikini bottom shapes within the collection, allowing you to mix and match to find the combination that suits your body best. The tops and bottoms are available separately, so you can size your bikini top to your cup size and your bikini bottom to your hip size independently — which is exactly how a properly fitted swimwear collection should work.
Does Empreinte swimwear have frill detailing — and is it flattering?
Yes — Empreinte's recent collections have featured a signature frill along the edges of both swimsuits and bikinis, and it has become one of the most loved details in the collection. We know the word "frill" can make some customers hesitate, but we would encourage you to trust us on this one — the effect is elegant, dramatic, and genuinely flattering rather than adding volume. It is very French, very chic, and it transforms what is already an exceptional swimsuit or bikini into a real standout piece. Our customers who have been brave enough to try it have not looked back. If you would like to see it in person before ordering, come and visit us at our boutique in Wimbledon Village.
What size should I order in Empreinte swimwear?
Empreinte swimwear runs with the same generous cup sizing as the lingerie. If you normally size down a cup in Empreinte bras — for example ordering an F cup when you typically wear a G — we recommend doing the same in the swimwear. If you are ordering for the first time or unsure, please get in touch before ordering and we will advise you based on your measurements and your usual Empreinte size.
Do Empreinte bikinis have underwired cups?
Yes — the bikini tops feature underwired cups that provide genuine support and shaping, just as Empreinte's lingerie does. The underwire is discreetly constructed within the cup so it does not show or feel uncomfortable, but it provides the lift and support that makes Empreinte swimwear so different from standard swimwear brands. If you have concerns about underwire in swimwear, please get in touch and we can advise on the most suitable styles.
