Pre-orders are advance purchases that secure highly sought-after items before they arrive at our warehouse. The pre-order date indicates when we anticipate receiving the item. Time frames: Early = Week 1-2, Mid = Week 2-3, Late = Week 3-4. Unforeseen circumstances like weather, customs, and carrier delays can affect the timeline.

How should I care for my swimsuit?

Hand wash separately with cold water and gentle soap after each use. Avoid soaking and dry in the shade. Do not pack wet suits with other garments or keep them balled up. Avoid dry cleaning and minimize contact with sunscreens, oils, chlorine, and rough surfaces. For sanitary reasons, try on items over underwear. We recommend plant-based detergent for longer-lasting color.

Simple. Timeless. Travel-ready

"Love this dress! The drop waist gives it a relaxed, modern silhouette and the bubble hem makes it unique without being too trendy. The black color is classic and easy to style for both day and evening. Comfortable, flattering, and perfect for travel or dinners out. A chic statement piece that feels effortless to wear."

— Iola G. (5/5)

Very nice dress seriously

"Very Nice dress! love it. It's worth it, very comfortable to wear. Thanks a lot, tribe!!"

— Lucy (5/5)

Love it

"I wasn’t sure about the bubble hem trend, but this one actually works. I wore it to a cocktail thing and got so many compliments."

— Rachel (5/5)

Cute

"I saw the review below, I am a 34C - 27 in waist. I ordered a medium and it fits me well! The dress is really comfortable, sometimes I add a belt at the waist for a little extra pizzazz."

— Christina (5/5)

Not for busty gals

"I loooooved this dress, too bad I had to return it. It wasn’t made for busty girls. My bra size is a 34F, I have a 23in waist, and wear a 000-0 depending on the company, so the dress was big everywhere else and the XS was baggy all around as it is with the exception of my boobs. It wouldn’t zip. If it had a little more stretch on the top, it would’ve been perfect. Really disappointed that I had to return it."

— Kat (3/5)

Cute, but runs small

"The dress is super super cute but similar to other reviews this is not meant for busty girls. I wear a 0/XS typically but have a 32D. Fits great in the waist but can’t zip past the bra area."

— Jamie (4/5)
