Not sure about size?
  • Fits true to size or ever so slightly big. 
  • This style is slightly longer in the body than other styles. If you're short in the body, go down a dress size.
  • Flattering soft V-neckline with gentle sweetheart shape across the bust.
  • Low-cut under the arms for active use without chaffing.
  • Medium cut on the leg with flattering but full bottom coverage.
  • Our Monroe model Amanda is 5'10 / 178cm tall. She usually wears a UK size 14 and a 36D bra. Shown here wearing a Deakin and Blue size 14 Monroe.
  • Super soft, high quality, sustainable Italian bonded Lycra® with neckline and hips highlighted in soft & sculpting Italian powernet mesh.
  • Lycra® made from a recycled yarn called ECONYL® - made from regenerated waste such as old fishing nets and industrial plastic scraps.
  • Durable and designed to last. Our chosen Lycra® is twice as resistant to chlorine, salt water and oils than standard Lycra. Full UV protection.
  • Designed and manufactured responsibly in London, UK.
  • Rinse after every use and hang to dry. Machine wash at 40° after every 2-3 uses. See full details on how to care for your swimwear.

    Essential Swimsuit

    I thought about buying a Deakin and Blue swimsuit for sometime, frequently revisiting the pages. I finally decided to buy one and picked the Essential in black in style Munro. I used the measuring guide to select both the style and size. I was a little reluctant as the measuring guide put me a size up from where I expected to be (I am an apple shape). However I believed in the guide and went for it. The size turned out to be perfect. The material is much thicker than other swimsuits that I've bought, but I think that's OK. I'm looking forward to lots of use.
