About this piece

Elevate your style with the Mesh Cecile Kaftan in our Limoncello, a luxurious blend of elegance and versatility inspired by the beauty of the European coast. Crafted from our sheer, anti-crease mesh stretch fabric, this piece is quick-drying and perfect both in and out of the water. 

Fabric-covered buttons and a clasp ensure modesty and adjustability, while side seam pockets add a touch of practicality. Wear it loose for an easy, flowing look or cinch the waist with the adjustable drawstring for a more defined fit. 

This new style is on Pre-Order. Expected early June for Drop 1, Drop 2 will arrive Early July. Thank you for your patience.

Not exactly! While our suits are true to Australian standard sizing, it’s common for women to size down in Baiia suits. The reason for this is because we most commonly recommend sizes based on measurements rather than dress sizes, so many women find their best fit in a different size to what they typically wear in clothing. 

If two or more of your measurements fit within one size, we tend to recommend that one for the perfect fit. If your measurements span three or more sizes, we tend to recommend taking the one in the middle. If you feel you have a particularly short or long torso, you may find a better fit in one size down or up. We suggest emailing us at fitexpert@baiia.com.au prior to purchase if you have any questions or concerns about your correct size.

SIZE & FIT

Nayara wears a size S. Her measurements are:

Bust - 92cm

Waist - 71cm

Hips - 100cm

Height - 170cm

Our fabrics are resistant to suncream and oils, but we still recommend taking care when wearing sunscreen and/or makeup, as well as taking care to remove marks as soon as possible to prevent staining.

A common ingredient in sunscreen known as avobenzone can contribute to stains, so you may wish to use sunscreens without this component.

For more tips on removing sunscreen and how to avoid staining, we found this article that may help.

HOW TO WEAR

To answer simply: yes, it’s completely normal! But how do I know if what I’m experiencing isn’t normal? We've put together a really detailed blog where we explain what’s to be expected when it comes to trying on your first Baiia swimsuit and tips to getting it on that first time.Read here.

SUSTAINABILITY & CARE

The major difference between the two styles is how many pieces they're composed of.

​The 3-piece Wrapsuit consists of 1 chest piece, 1 body piece and 1 detachable tie; all together they complete a full swimsuit, which you can then reverse, and mix & match with other Wrapsuits to create multiple unique looks. ​

​The 4-piece Bikini consists of the Bikini top made of 2 chest pieces and 1 detachable tie, and the ultra-high waisted Bikini Bottom  - equalling 4 pieces when purchased all together! The Bikini can be worn like a classic Bikini style or made to look like a Wrapsuit, as well as mix & matched with other Bikinis.

SHIPPING & RETURNS POLICY

We offer store credit notes if you wish to return your item for a better fit or because you have simply changed your mind. Our credit notes have no expiry and can be used for a similar product or for a completely different style.

Reviews

Obsessed

"I am obsessed with this gorgeous kaftan. The mesh fabric is beyond soft, the Tailoring of this garment is exquisite, the details of the buttons and claps are carefully thought out. This is a very flattering piece that ran slightly larger than my regular size. I wish the mesh came in more colors/patterns."

— KK (5/5)

stunning !

"very flattering when you have a big chest. I love it, I ordered another one. it's now my favorite summer dress I don't wear it at the beach, I use it as a dress I'm 5. 6, 169 lbs, and I bought a large, fits perfectly"

— Genevieve G. (5/5)

— Rose S. (5/5)

Super versatile!

"Took this with me to Europe, wore on a hot day in Lisbon, then again by the pool in Dubai. I was surprised how comfortable, flattering and versatile it is. It can be dressed up or used over togs - dries quickly too!"

— Melanie-Lee A. (5/5)

Perfect for chilling poolside

"I love this print so was excited to add this to my existing set (bathers top and bottom + bucket hat). Nice and flowy with mostly good coverage, although I might add another fastening point a little higher up on the bust, to make it a more versatile choice for me."

— Jennifer M. (4/5)
