    NEW PRO FRONT

     

    FAQ 5: Should I order skinny or regular triangle?

    Skinny triangles are an option we offer and is based off your personal taste in style. The skinny triangle is taller and finishes near the collar bone and is regularly requested for ladies with large implants for it helps to reduce under boob. Standard Triangles are made for all orders unless skinny is requested.

     

    ****Note the more crystals the less stretch of fabric****

    FAQ 6: What is more adjustable(hook or tie back)  

    Tie back allows the most adjustment to your top. In order to get a hook back you must include your Ribcage measurement. However you only have 1inch of room to make it tighter or looser so if you lose more weight than intended you will need to get the hook taken in more by YOUR local seamstress.

    All suits come standard tie back so its adjustable. By request we can do "Hook Back" (this allows about 1 inch adjustment and less string to hang) If you do not write "hook back" in notes portion it will come "tie back! Please include your ribcage measurement so we can make it to size.

     

    FAQ 7: Who orders higher/wider rise?  

    Higher wider rise is a Modest coverage less commonly ordered. Ladies that have scars to cover may want to write in the request to have a "higher/wider front" If you only want it higher you may request "higher rise only"                   

     **Are you 90-105Ibs? If so consider ordering a "Marissa Front" which is smaller and more narrow than our standard front. This will reduce bunching.

     

    FAQ 8: My top seems a little small...what do I do?  

    NOT all girls need the padding! Especially if you are enhanced. Removing the thick padding allows the fabric to stretch out more and the fit will be better! Also consider how far out from show date you are. The breasts are the first to shrink so you don't want a top thats too big! You can always scrunch the sides!

     

    FAQ 9: I received my bottoms and they fit tight. I feel a bulge on my sides.

    I think my suits too small...Is it too small?
    OK, we make Competition suits. Therefore unless you are competition suit stage ready 365 out of the year your bottoms should be snug when you receive them. Consider how much more weight you are suppose to lose before you hit stage. Consider peak week and water depletion! If your suit fits you perfect 3-6 weeks out it will be TOO LOOSE come competition day. However in most suits there is extra fabric inside the bikini along the connectors (depending connector length). A local seamstress can always let it out or bring it in (tighten it) if needed! Obviously wait closer to your show to make that decision for your body is transforming throughout this whole experience!

     

    Standard Crystallization on bottom of competition suit packages 199$ and up!

     

    FAQ 10: We now offer option to "Leave exposed Fabric trim" on heavily crystalized packages" per request. Its an option during checkout for select suits. If you have less crystals and want "Fabric Trim Exposed" simply type it in the order notes as your request. See picture reference for style. 

    FAQ 11: Which bottoms are NPC, WBFF, NGA, etc approved?

    Honestly all sizes are ordered for all shows in the USA. Our most popular ordered bottoms are Brazilian cheeky however if you are extremely tiny in size you may want to go micro cheeky if you want to show off more of the glutes.  We recommend you purchase Bikini Bite or any other suit fastener  to glue your bikini in place for show day that way it doesn't ride up.  

    ***INTERNATIONAL SHOWS IN CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND REST OF WORLD MAY BE REQUIRED to wear Mid-coverage or even Pageant cheeky since the shows are more strict about coverage.

    Competition suit cuts (Pro cut micro cheeky/brazilian cheeky/midcoveragecheeky) 

     MINI-Micro Minus is best for girls 105 or less! On frames larger than 105 it WILL fit like a thong!

    FAQ 12: DOES PADDING COME WITH SUITS?

    Yes we include COMPLIMENTARY padding in all Competititon suit and there's a removable slot so you can add or remove padding!!!  

     

     

    Do you have the option to add crystal connectors to the back of the suit straps?

    Yes we offer connector 2 or 6 as back connectors with the choice of hook back or string ties!!! You would purchase "Back connectors" under the Connectors, swatches, & upgrade tab and add this upgrade to your cart for $20. Depending your ribcage will determine how much silver string will show. Model has short connector so normally an extra 2 inches longer!

     

    What options do I have to get Great CLEAVAGE ? 

    A "non-sliding triangle" request is a great alternative if you don't like molded cup frames or Underwire bras!!! You must request this in your order notes when you checkout. We will simply sew the triangle down closest to the center connector and it then acts like a push up bra bringing you upright and center!!! 

        

    MEASUREMENTS:

    Bikini Bottoms: Measure your waist around the smallest part of your waistline. Measure your hips around the fullest part of your hips, usually about 7-8" below your waist, straight and firm, but not tight. In between sizes, order the larger size.

    About Us

     

     Meet the Designer: Jessie R. Becker

     
     

    About Ravish:
     
    Ravish Sands Swimwear is made with sexy in mind.  Dare to turn heads in these vibrant and unique bikinis and edgy fun one piece suits.  Each Ravish Sands creation is made in limited quantities to maintain a very custom feel without a custom price tag.  Be noticed, be unique, Ravish Sands’ diverse collection will have something for everyone.  Not only will you look amazing, you will also feel amazing as these bikinis are made with real women in mind, they are incredibly hot but also incredibly comfortable.
     
    How it all began: Ravish Sands Swimwear was created as an exclusive line by me, Jessie R. Becker. Being a native of Florida my passion for fashion was obvious at a young age. Weekend projects of decorating hats, creating jewelry, making clothing, drawing, modeling, and taking photos with the family were a natural talent. High School landed me with the Most Fashionable Award and many followers. The love for clothing, good health, strong family ties, and need and desire of learning took me to study fashion design and marketing at AIU.  However, none would have been possible if not for the support from my dear papa, Stephen Becker, mother Dawn Renaud, Brother Sean Becker, Sister Christina Becker, grandparents, and a few very close friends (LILY TAYLOR). Through their support, inspirations, and added motivations it has inch me closer and closer to my ultimate goals. Many of my recent collections have been created in memory of my little brother... the realization that life is too short and nothing happens unless you make it happens is a lesson learned. Fashion and swimwear design has brought a way to heal and cope with life’s tragedies and hardships. In little but suffiecient time I had started my business in a one bedroom apartment, and my livingroom was like a bikini closet. haha. Since then I have expanded and my most recent addition would be my Ravish Sands Online Store, sold at Aventura's Country Club, amd www.LalaCouture.com Who Makes RavishSands.com so visually appealing? Lucky for me I've been lucky along the way and met one extrodinary individual. Michael Falco is the magic touch on all the photos of Ravish Sands Swimwear. From stunning banners and perfectly displayed swimwear on dazzeling young ladies he catches all the right moments so we can share each and every unique swimsuit with you. He's talented in all areas and to see more of his work check out www.michaelfalco.com 
     
    UNIQUE                        One absolute in life is that each of us has our own unique beauty. We are not clones that are mass-produced to the same specifications. RanvishSands.com recognizes and enjoys the challenges this places on production and designs. Mix and match suits and sizes. One size does not fit all! A medium bottom does not have to go with a medium top. Maybe your unique tastes require a top from one design and a bottom from another. Maybe you want more or less skin exposed. Maybe you just need the bottom. RavishSands gives you the options.
     
    WORKMANSHIP:                 Having recognizing the uniqueness of each of us, the seamstresses and designer have a very close working relationship. Factories are not a medium for designs that are to Ravish the Sands. The pride of the seamstresses and designer help assure the production ofquality products, one suit at a time. How many companies have the designer and executive staff monitoring the suits as they are created? Sorry China, RavishSands is made in America by Americans.
     
    DESIGNS:                         The designer/entrepreneur of RavishSands is constantly working on new designs; Unique designs that can be produced in sizes and shapes that can satisfy your individual beauty. Designs that are as close to custom as anything available on the market. Cloth is bought by the yard not the mile and designs are meant to change, not remain static. Jessie Renaud Becker has a passion for designing, not the same old same old. That would be boring and who goes to the beach or pool to be bored? You are not likely to see the same suit on the same beach at the same time. What you wear is a statement of who you are. Let Ravish Sands help you make that statement.
