FAQ
Welcome to the TVOE Swim FAQ. Here you'll find clear answers to the questions we hear most often — from finding your perfect size and understanding our Italian fabrics to caring for your swimsuit and shipping worldwide. TVOE Swim is a premium women's swimwear and activewear brand, designed and sewn in-house in Wrocław, Poland. If your question isn't answered below, we're always happy to help personally.
How do I choose the right size?
Our swimwear runs in sizes XS–L based on your body measurements, not a generic label. The best approach is to measure your bust, waist and hips and compare them with our size guide, which is also available interactively on every product page. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our guide to choosing your swimsuit size.
What should I do if I'm between two sizes?
If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider how you like your swimwear to fit. For a snug, supportive feel choose the smaller size; for a more relaxed, comfortable fit choose the larger one. When in doubt, message us with your measurements and we'll recommend the best option for the specific style.
Are TVOE swimsuits true to size?
Yes — our pieces are designed to fit true to the body measurements in our chart, which is why we recommend measuring rather than guessing from your usual clothing size. Because every style sits a little differently, always check the measurements on the product page. Our size guide is the most reliable reference.
How does bikini-top and cup sizing work?
Some of our bikini tops use bust and cup sizing for a more tailored fit, with EU underband bands from 65 to 85 and cups A–D. To find your size, measure your underbust for the band and your fullest bust for the cup. Each product page shows which sizing system applies, and our interactive size guide helps you match it precisely.
Which swimsuit suits my body type?
Every body is beautiful, and our designs are cut to flatter and bring confidence. As a general guide, two-piece swimsuits let you mix sizes for the most personalised fit, while one-piece swimsuits offer elegant shaping and support. Tell us what you love most about your figure and we'll happily suggest styles from our swimwear collection.
Do TVOE swimsuits become see-through when wet?
Several of our styles, including tops like Chamonix and Maribel, are made with a double-layered fabric that stays fully opaque even when wet — so you can swim with complete confidence. This is one of the details we're most proud of, designed precisely so you never have to think about it. Opacity details are noted on the relevant product pages.
What fabric are TVOE swimsuits made from?
Our swimwear is crafted from premium Italian biflex fabric, typically 80% polyamide and 20% elastane. This blend is soft, beautifully smooth, quick-drying and highly resistant to chlorine and saltwater, while holding its shape and offering gentle, flattering support. It's the same quality you'd expect from the finest European swimwear.
Are TVOE swimsuits good quality?
Yes. Each piece is designed and sewn in-house in our Wrocław atelier from premium Italian fabrics, with the care and attention of a brand that has been making swimwear for over five years. We control every step — from fabric selection to the final stitch — so each swimsuit is made to last season after season.
Where are TVOE swimsuits made?
All of our swimwear and activewear is designed and sewn in-house in Wrocław, Poland. We don't outsource production, which lets us guarantee the quality, fit and finish of every single piece. You can read more about our craft and inspiration on our blog.
How do I wash and care for my swimsuit?
Always hand wash in cold water only, and never tumble dry. After swimming in chlorine or saltwater, rinse your swimsuit in fresh water as soon as possible, then dry it flat in the shade away from direct sun. Following these simple steps keeps colours and elasticity beautiful for years — see our full care guide for more.
How long does shipping take and do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we ship internationally from Poland. Orders are prepared within 1–3 working days, after which delivery typically takes 1–2 working days within Poland, 2–7 across Europe, 3–7 to Ukraine and 5–10 to the rest of the world. Exact cost and delivery time are calculated at checkout based on your address.
Is there free shipping?
Yes — we offer free shipping on orders over 1075 zł (about €250), with a few remote-country exceptions. Below that threshold, shipping is calculated automatically at checkout according to your destination. If you need delivery by a specific date, just reach out via Instagram or email and we'll do our best to help.
What is your return policy?
You may return items within 14 days of delivery, provided they are unused with all tags and the hygiene sticker intact, as swimwear hygiene rules apply. Please note that our made-to-order Etna dress is non-returnable. If anything isn't right, contact us and we'll guide you through the process.
