Frequently Asked Questions

Everything we get asked most often about the Sullivan towel wrap skirt. If your question is not here, email us at hello@coastalclothco.com and we will help.

Sizing and fit

Which size should I choose?
The Sullivan comes in two size ranges. S/M fits women's sizes 0 to 8, or a waist of roughly 24" to 34". M/L fits women's sizes 8 to 16, or a waist of roughly 34" to 44". Because it wraps and ties, each size covers a range rather than one exact measurement.

I am between sizes. What should I do?
Size up. The M/L gives you more wrap overlap and more length.

How long is it?
The S/M measures 48" wide and 15.25" long. The M/L measures 55.5" wide and 17.5" long. Where you tie it on your waist also changes how it sits, so higher on the waist reads shorter and lower reads longer. Full measurements are on the size guide.

Wearing and care

How do I put it on?
Wrap it around your waist with the sizing tag at the back, bring the left side across first, then the right side over the top. Take the two rope ties behind your back, bring them to the front and tie a bow. There is a video and written steps on the how to tie page.

Can I adjust it during the day?
Yes. It ties with a bow, so you can loosen or tighten it without taking it off.

Can I actually dry off with it?
That is the idea. It is 100% cotton terry cloth, so it soaks up water on contact and dries you off while you wear it.

How do I wash it?
Machine washable, like any other towel.

The product

Does it have a pocket?
It does. The side pocket is sized for a phone, keys, sunglasses or lip balm. It sits on the right side, which finishes on the outside once the skirt is wrapped and tied.

What is it made of?
100% cotton terry cloth. Absorbent, quick drying and machine washable.

What colors does it come in?
Seven, including stripes, checks and solids. You can see them all on the towel skirts page.

Do you make anything else?
Yes. We also make gold-filled coastal jewelry on 18" chains, with shell, conch and fish pendants. Have a look at the jewelry collection.
