About this piece

Meet Viv, the playful little sister to our best-selling Viviana Dress. Now in a shorter, breezier length, she’s made for warm days, easy packing, and strolls from beach to bar. A delicate frill trim adds a hint of vintage charm, making Viv feel equal parts fun, flirty, and unmistakably timeless. Endlessly versatile, surprisingly essential.

With adjustable ties and detachable straps, you can style her 5+ ways… as a dress with multiple necklines, a flowing skirt, or even a chic top.

Wear her solo, or pair with the matching Dorothy Bikini Set for the perfect look for parties, picnics, or wherever the sunshine takes you.

We're saying goodbye to this beautiful style and sizes will not be restocked. Secure yours before it's gone forever.

Please choose carefully as this is a FINAL LAST CHANCE item, and we can not offer returns or size exchanges. T&Cs apply.

Fabric

Silky and lightweight, this breathable matte fabric is made using recycled plastic bottles and has a soft drop for effortless styling. Texture is similar to a soft, matte silk.

Size & Fit

Please complete our fit quiz to find your size (located next to size selection above). As this swimsuit features shape-controlling and sculpting properties, please expect it to feel firmer than regular swimwear. Don’t fret as this will soften to your beautiful shape with wear. Read more here.

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.

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. Please head to our returns portal to begin your return, and read our returns policyfor more information.
