Learn how to pair a tied-up swim top with peplum swim bottoms, plus practical rules for sizing, coverage, and building mix-and-match swimsuit sets for women and girls.
Quick Answer
Pair the Off The Grid Tied-Up Top with Mini Peplum Bottoms when you want a supportive, fully lined crop top and a high-waisted bottom with a peplum ruffle. Buy each in your usual size first, then size up in the bottoms if you prefer a less snug fit.
Why the top and bottom sizing rules differ
The Tied-Up Top is described as true to size, with a full shelf bra and removable pads. That built-in support means the fit is meant to feel secure without extra layering. The Mini Peplum Bottoms are also true to size, but the fabric is thicker with less stretch, so the same size can feel firmer than expected around the waist and seat.
That difference matters when you build mix-and-match swimsuit sets: a top that fits true to size and a bottom that runs snug can create an uneven fit if you assume both pieces behave the same way.
When to size up in the peplum bottoms
The Mini Peplum Bottoms are cut to hit right above the belly button and provide full bottom coverage, with a peplum ruffle around the waist. Because the fabric has less stretch, the brand recommends sizing up if you are between sizes or do not want a snug, compression-style fit.
If you prefer a closer fit and are confident in your measurements, stay with your usual size. The trade-off is that the thicker fabric will feel more supportive but less forgiving than a thinner, stretchier bottom.
Matching a women's top with a girls' bottom
The Tied-Up Top is a women's style, while the Mini Peplum Bottoms are designed for little ones. That means you are not building a single matched set for one body; you are coordinating two pieces across different size ranges. Use the fit finder or contact the store directly for sizing help, because the catalog does not provide a conversion chart between women's and girls' sizes.
For a girls two piece swimsuit guide, treat the Mini Peplum Bottoms as the anchor piece and choose a girls' top separately. The peplum ruffle adds visual volume at the waist, so a simpler top keeps the overall look balanced.
Decision Rules for Pairing and Sizing
- Start with your usual size in both pieces: Order the Tied-Up Top and Mini Peplum Bottoms in the size you normally wear, since both are listed as true to size. Use this as your baseline before adjusting. If the bottoms feel tight at the waist or seat, exchange for one size up rather than sizing up the top.
- Size up in the bottoms only if you want a relaxed fit: The Mini Peplum Bottoms use a thicker fabric with less stretch. Choose one size up if you are between sizes or dislike a snug, compression feel.
- Check coverage needs before choosing the peplum: The Mini Peplum Bottoms provide full bottom coverage and sit above the belly button. If you want less coverage or a lower rise, this bottom is not the right match for the Tied-Up Top. Confirm the rise and coverage you want before ordering, because the peplum style is intentionally high-waisted and full-coverage.
- Use the fit finder for cross-size coordination: For a women's top paired with a girls' bottom, the catalog does not list a size conversion. Use the fit finder or contact the store directly to match sizes across the two ranges.
Product Facts
- Mini Peplum Bottoms: High-waisted, fully lined bottoms with full coverage and a peplum ruffle, made from a thicker fabric with less stretch. The firm fabric and full coverage make these a good choice when you want a secure, high-waisted fit, but sizing up is wise if you prefer less compression.
Mini Peplum Bottoms - Off The Grid | Tied-Up Top: A crop top with a full shelf bra, removable bra pads, halter straps, and a V neckline with a front bow tie. The built-in shelf bra provides support without a separate bra, and the removable pads let you adjust coverage to your preference.
