Product Insights
The Small Sparkle Black Bikini Bottom by Red Carter, priced at $72 and currently out of stock, offers a flattering high-cut design that elongates legs and slims the waist through optical illusions, with adjustable side ties for customized fit and coverage. The bikini features rhinestones attached by both glue and stitching, but durability requires hand washing and gentle handling; the nylon-spandex shell is best for occasional beach or vacation use rather than regular chlorinated pools, as chlorine degrades the fabric and lining. The fit suits petite and athletic builds, and the adjustable ties enhance photo-friendly leg lines, but buyers must accept the tradeoff between sparkle and swim performance.
Verified claims
- Size guide
- Available sizes SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE correspond to US 4-6, 6-8, 8-10 and waist measurements 26-27, 27-28, 28-29.
- Waist slimming
- V-shaped cut creates optical illusion of a slimmer waist
- Leg elongation
- Above-hip cut adds inches to visible leg length
- Sparkle attachment
- Rhinestones on Red Carter swimwear are typically glued and sewn; the fixed lining reduces stretch.
- Chlorine resistance
- The nylon-spandex shell prioritizes softness and shine over chlorine longevity, so this bottom is best for beach and casual swimming rather than frequent chlorinated pool use.
- Care
- Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent, rinse after chlorine or saltwater, and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight; avoid wringing, twisting, bleach, and iron to protect the fabric and rhinestones.
- Side ties
- Side ties tighten or loosen to adjust fit and coverage.
- Lining coverage
- Lining's 85/15 nylon-spandex blend prevents transparency and stabilizes fit.
- Body type fit
- High cut flatters petite and athletic builds; adjustable ties customize coverage.
- Photo effect
- High-cut sides add camera-friendly diagonals that visually lengthen legs in photos.
- Sparkle durability
- Rhinestones on Red Carter swimwear are typically attached to stay secure through multiple wears and washes with proper care.
- Sizing
- Red Carter swimwear sizes S, M, and L correspond to US sizes 4-6, 6-8, and 8-10, with waist measurements of 26-27 in, 27-28 in, and 28-29 in and hip measurements of 37-38 in, 38-39 in, and 39-40 in.
- Lining coverage
- The bottom is fully lined with a fixed, non-removable lining that covers the entire interior and is sewn in place.
