Hello sunshine and it's a big hello to Artesands swimwear! Another great Aussie label with a thoughtfully crafted range of swimwear that includes plus sizes and considers most shapes too!

We are thrilled to introduce you to the latest swim label to hit our online store - Artesands. We've introduced it to our range because it compliments our Capriosca and Curvy swimwear offerings brilliantly; to give you more options that will work best for you.

This label is clever. It essentially uses 3 core cuts in one pieces, tankini's, bikini and swimdress styles, where each cut enhances the most common shapes we serve here at Sequins and Sand.

  • Raphael - for the fuller shape girls who need extra bust and belly support
  • Botticelli - for those with a fuller tummy shape (yep, like 'apples' and 'O's) and potentially a proportionally smaller bust
  • Delacroix - for the 'pears' (triangle) and those who like to keep the attention up!

Hourglass girls, you know you can wear them all :)

Raphael:
We have in two black and white prints - Polka Dots (Rococo) and Zig Zag.
Raphael will suit the fuller shape for E, F and G cups, with a centre panel of ruching and wide side panels for a firmer fit about the belly. Busts are covered and well supported with deep cups, wide adjustable straps and underwire across one pieces, tankini tops and bikini tops too.

Polka Rococo dots
: Underwire One Piece
: Underwire Tankini Top
: High Leg, High Waisted Pant - good coverage but with a slightly higher leg than our standard high waisted pant.

Zig Zag
: Bikini Top
: Ruched High Waisted Bikini Bottom

Botticelli:
Love a little Leopard? This cut comes in a stunning and rare blue leopard!
We think Botticelli will work brilliantly on a fuller tummy shape, particularly if busts are proportionally smaller. This range comes in smaller cups, starting at a C and ending in DD, possibly E. The side panels and ruching across the tummy is brilliant for support and coverage and the sweetheart neckline is so flattering in both one pieces and tankini. Wear it with a plain black pant.
: One Piece
: Tankini Top
: and Plain Black One Piece too for the lovers of an eternal classic

Delacroix:
With its deep V neckline and twisted ruched bust detail it is great for keeping the attention up! Works brilliantly for pears who could do with the extra visual oomph! And equally well for those with bigger cups up to a G who like to enhance their best asset. Who doesn't?!
Empire line and gentle ruching, it's great for tummy support and creating fabulous curves. Hourglass girls, this one is best for you too.

: Plain Navy - One Piece
: Black and White Zig Zag One Piece
: Black and White Zig Zag Tankini Top
: Team the Tankini Top withe the matching Ruched High Pant in Zig Zag as before or a plain black bottom.
: Swimdress - this, is just gorgeous on! Perfect for pears. Here's the Swimdress in the Zig Zag print.

That's a lot to digest in one hit I know. So take your time and go over the links again and check out the photos below.

Remember the cuts that will suit your shape best then take it from there. Which one do you think is best for you?

As always, if you have any fit questions, please give us a call or drop us an email. It would be our pleasure.
