Swimwear FAQ
How quickly can I have a swimsuit delivered to me?
At Love Your Peaches, all swimsuits are individually cut and sewn to order. This practice allows us to offer you the widest variety of choices in color, style and size. It does, however, take a little time. But we think it’s worth it! Typically it takes about 7 – 9 days to have your swimsuit made. Shipping time in transit will vary depending on your location and what shipping method you choose. See our Shipping Info for more details.
Help! I’m going on vacation next week, can I get a swimsuit in time?
Probably. The best thing is to email janelle@loveyourpeaches.com or call 845-259-3704. If your order is time sensitive, you must tell us your “need by” date.
What size should I order?
The one-piece swimsuits and the swimsuit bottoms run generous, so order a size smaller than you would normally wear in clothing. For the Bikini tops, please enter your bra size as well, so we can help you get the right size top. As you know, you can have two women who are a size 3x, but one might be a B-cup, and the other an F-cup, so having this extra information helps us get you a top that fits right the first time around. If you are unsure as to what size to get, please call or email us with your bra size and hip measurement, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Will the bikini tops fit me? Will the bottoms cover my stomach fold and/or my “cheeks”?
Love Your Peaches swimsuits are designed and sized by an actual plus sized woman, and they are definitely designed with tummies and breasts and bums in mind. If you are not happy with the fit of your suit the first time around, just call us, we are happy to amend and adjust patterns so you can get just the fit you need. If covering your stomach fold on the sides is important to you, you may want to avoid the “high-cut” legs. Go for the medium or low cut legs to give you the best coverage.
Do any of the tops have underwires?
All of the suits are “soft” swimwear...they are fabric and elastic construction, there are no underwires, padding, foam cups or hardware. Love Your Peaches is a small company that specializes in some hard to find sizes...we’ve never been able to find a supplier who can provide us with underwires in our full size range (without us ordering a bajillion of them), so we‘re unable to offer them. And no, we cannot use one of your own underwires if you send it to us.
Are the tops supportive?
Some of the styles are more supportive than others...the bra style tops give support similar to a sports bra. Halter style bikini tops have the advantage that you can give yourself extra lift by tying the neck ties tighter. Are they going to give you as much lift as an underwire bra? No. There is only so much you can do with small pieces of spandex and elastic. But we have customer s ranging from A – KK cups who are satisfied with the support of their bikini’s...you could be one of them too!
Are the suits lined?
All bra cups are doubled fabric, and all suits have a crotch lining. In addition, all light colors (white, pink, lime, and prints with a lot of white in them like Skulls and Wildflower) are completely double lined to prevent them from becoming sheer when wet.
I have a favorite pair of panties / old swimsuit/ old bra, can you copy it and make a swimsuit for me?
No. Peaches swimsuits are cut to order, not custom made. However, if you have an idea for a new swimsuit, and we think it’s something that is viable for our product line, we may incorporate it. It never hurts to ask, and pictures are always helpful.
I just got my swimsuit, and I need a different color. Can I return or exchange it?
Yes, of course. You have 30 days to return for a full refund (except shipping), or up to a year to exchange it. Please send the item(s) back to:
