    No woman should have to compromise on style, fit or support after a mastectomy or surgery. That's why we offer a wide range of swimsuits and bikini that we can adapt to wear with a prosthesis.

    Choose your D&B

    Swimsuits and bikinis with a full cup are best for adding a pocket for a prosthesis. If the bust has high coverage we can attach a pocket inside that's not visible from the outside. Nobody will know it's there, but you.

    We recommend:

    The Swimbra Bikini, The X-Back Swimsuit, The Long Sleeve Swimsuit


    The Sweetheart Swimsuit, The X-Back Swimsuit, The Signature Swimsuit

    We'll do the rest

    Once you've decided which swimsuit or bikini you'd like, follow these simple steps:

    Step 1:Place your order from our website selecting your preferred style, size and colour as usual.

    Step 2:Try on your new swimsuit or bikini and check you are happy with the overall style, colour and fit (other than where the pocket(s) will go).

    Step 3:Once you are happy, email us at hello@deakinandblue.com. We'll ask you for details relating to the pocket including which side (s) you require the pocket and what cup size the prosthesis is.

    Step 4:Post the swimsuit to our repairs team - we'll send you the address.

    Step 5:We'll add the pocket and send the swimsuit or bikini back to you within 14 days.

    This service won't cost you anything more than the price of the swimwear. However, once we've customised your swimwear you won't be able to send it back to us unless it's faulty. That's why we advise checking you're happy with the rest of the fit first.


    Here to support you

    We get that the process of selecting and trying on swimwear might be more complicated, emotionally and physically, than before surgery. We're here to support you, so please get in touch to ask any questions at hello@deakinandblue.com

    SIZING

    We've developed our unique Muse Measurement sizing system to offer a comfortable, sleek and sculpting fit, whatever your shape or size.

    We know that no two “size 12” bodies are the same, so our sizing is tailored to three different body shapes:

    • For AA-B cup busts: the Hepburn
    • For C-E cup busts: the Monroe
    • For F-HH cup busts: the Hendricks

     

    SWIMSUIT SIZING

    Step One: Pick your usual UK dress size from 8-20.

    Step Two: Pick your bust size based on our Muse Measurements system:

    MUSE MEASUREMENT HEPBURN MONROE HENDRICKS
    BRA CUP SIZE AA - B C - E F - HH


    So if you typically wear a UK size 14 and wear a 34A bra, you’d order a 14 Hepburn. Likewise if you’re a UK size 10 and wear a 30F bra, you’d order a 10 Hendricks.

    All our pieces are designed to offer stretch. However, if you’re in between sizes we recommend sizing up.

    If you are very long in the body, we also recommend going up a dress size to offer additional length.

     

    BIKINI TOP SIZING

    Our Swimbras & Swim Crops are designed to fit snugly so that you feel 100% secure as you move. We have developed a precise Bikini Sizing System to help you identify your correct size. 

    BIKINI TOP SIZING Cup Size
    AA-B C-E F-HH

    Band Size (inches)

    26-28 8 Hepburn 8 Monroe 8 Hendricks
    28-30 10 Hepburn 10 Monroe 10 Hendricks
    30-32 12 Hepburn 12 Monroe 12 Hendricks
    34-36 14 Hepburn 14 Monroe 14 Hendricks
    38-40 16 Hepburn 16 Monroe 16 Hendricks
    42-44 18 Hepburn 18 Monroe 18 Hendricks

     

    KNICKER SIZING

    All our knickers come in standard UK dress sizes from size 8 - 18.

     

    BIGGER AND SMALLER SIZES

    We currently offer all bikinis in sizes 8-18 and all swimsuits in sizes 8-20.

    We are very aware that our size range is still relatively limited. We’re a small independent brand, and have focused initially on offering a highly comprehensive and effective set of products to women who wear dress sizes 8-20.

    However we are very responsive to demand. If you would like to see more sizes in different types of products please get in touch at hello@deakinandblue.com - we'd love to hear from you. 

    For example, when we first launched back in June 2017 we tested customer demand for our products in sizes 8-16. So many of you got in touch to say that you were interested in our swimwear but needed larger sizes that within six months we expanded our size range up to UK size 20. We're really listening to you.
