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.
  • 78% Recycled Polyamide, 22% Elastane.

    Fantastic!

    I have started swimming regularly in the sea and after a bit of research decided to invest in a swimsuit from Deakin and Blue. It’s brilliant, nice thick fabric, doesn’t ride up, pulls everything in and looks fantastic- everyone asks where I got it from! Well worth it.

    Absolutely fantastic costume, really comfortable for proper swimming and great support when not in the water. Very quick service and will definitely buy another one, worth every penny.
