How does the sizing compare to typical US/Canadian swimwear? Is it true to size or does it run small?

We don't have specific fit feedback, but Rhythm swimwear generally runs true to US/Canadian sizes based on brand standards. The bottom comes in XS–L, so we suggest ordering your usual size.

Are the beads securely attached? Will they stay on after swimming in chlorinated or salt water?

Beads are attached to the fabric, but their longevity in chlorinated or salt water depends on the attachment method. Guides on beaded swimwear note that beads can loosen in these conditions, and we recommend hand washing and rinsing after each swim to extend bead life. For best results, avoid prolonged submersion and machine washing.

Is the white color see-through when wet?

White swimwear can become sheer when wet, especially without a lining. This bottom uses an embossed stretch weave and does not mention a lining, so we recommend checking opacity by stretching the fabric over your hand or testing with water. Many guides advise extra caution with white suits.

What are the recommended care instructions? Can it be machine washed or only hand wash?

We recommend hand washing in cold water with mild detergent and laying flat to dry. Machine washing can damage the beads and fabric. Rinse immediately after swimming in chlorinated or salt water to preserve the embellishments.

What is the approximate coverage level? Does 'small bikini' mean cheeky or more like a Brazilian cut?

This is a slim bikini cut with side ties, offering minimal coverage — similar to a cheeky or Brazilian style. The 'small bikini' label and slim cut mean it shows more of the hips and rear, with less fabric than a classic full-coverage bottom.

Product Insights

The Beads And Broderie Anglaise Small Bikini Bottom by Rhythm uses a heat-pressed stretch weave to mimic broderie anglaise without its fragility, combining chlorine-resistant polyester-spandex for quick-drying performance and color retention. The embossed texture scatters light to prevent harsh glare on white fabric, hides pilling and sheen, and reduces sheerness when wet, keeping white fabric looking crisp longer. At $55 CAD, it offers value above fast-fashion, but requires hand washing and minimal coverage with a low-rise cut.

Deep Research

Price comparison with similar styles

At $39.95 CAD on sale, the bottom lands only a few dollars above Chi Chi London’s regular-price territory, effectively closing half the gap between Rhythm’s mid-tier and the fast-fashion floor for shoppers willing to buy on promotion.
The fabric is described as an ‘embossed broderie anglaise-like stretch weave,’ meaning the openwork pattern is heat-pressed rather than hand-cut, a manufacturing choice that avoids the labor cost of true broderie anglaise and directly enables Rhythm’s $55 CAD price point in a category where genuine cutwork bottoms can exceed $200.

Broderie anglaise in swimwear

Rhythm replaces traditional cotton embroidery with an 'embossed broderie anglaise-like stretch weave' in polyester-spandex, giving the eyelet pattern the stretch and quick-dry performance required for active swim while eliminating the fragility of stitched cutwork in chlorine and salt water.

How the fabric feels and wears

Because polyester is naturally hydrophobic, the fabric drains water fast and air-dries quickly — you’ll spend less time in a damp, clingy bottom after a swim, and it won’t feel heavy or saggy on the walk back to your lounge chair.
The embossed weave hides the inevitable pilling, thinning, and slight stretching that smooth spandex reveals, so this bottom maintains a crisp, just-bought look far longer than flat-surfaced swimwear — an advantage for a white suit where any imperfection is usually conspicuous.
The raised pattern breaks up flat reflections and scatters light, preventing the harsh glare that can make smooth white swimwear look revealing or overly shiny — instead, it creates a softer, more forgiving visual effect that flatters a range of body shapes.
The 93% polyester content gives this bottom stronger chlorine resistance than traditional nylon swimwear, so it retains its color and stretch integrity through frequent pool use without the accelerated fiber breakdown that causes fading and loss of shape in many fashion suits.
