Try it on
Like you, we are reasonable.  If you think you might like a suit but aren't 100% sure, we encourage you to order it, try it on (wearing your panties, please), look in a full length mirror, ask your girlfriend, ask your husband or boyfriend, ask your cat, then decide for yourself. If you love everything about it, great. If it isn't quite right for you for whatever reason, please wrap it up right away and return it. You will receive a full refund as long as we receive it 60 days or less from the date it was shipped to you.

Don't procrastinate. If we receive the suit more than 60 days from the date it was shipped to you, there will be a restocking fee deducted from your refund amount or credit value. For returns received 60 to 120 days from ship date, 1/3 will be deducted from your refund amount or exchange credit. If it's more than 120 days, the deduction is 2/3. Don't procrastinate.

Treat it right
This is important. If you follow the washing instructions, your suit will last a long time, keep its color and shape, and be a source of happiness for you.

Be happy
Once in a blue moon, something is amiss, and a suit fails to live up to your expectations after trying it on, wearing it, and taking proper care of it. In the rare instances where this is the case, we would like to have the suit back, please, and we'd like you to have a new suit in its place.
If you prefer a refund, of course, we will issue one.

Authentic Fitness and The Clothing Studio-both excellent companies
Over and over, through a decade long professional relationship, we have seen that Anne Cole's parent, Authentic Fitness, is a company we enjoy doing business with--an excellent company. They produce top quality products, stand behind them, set trends with their styles, and are completely professional--they do what they say they will do. They understand and respond to women in the same way that we do. Friendly. Reasonable. Concerned that you not just tolerate wearing a swimsuit, but that you actually LIKE it, FEEL GOOD in your swimsuit, and have added CONFIDENCE because you are wearing it, LOOK FORWARD to putting it on and actually appearing in public in it, and can genuinely SMILE while you're wearing it.

At The Clothing Studio, and at Authentic Fitness, we believe that when we sell you a swimsuit, we have a responsibility that it perform to these expectations. The Clothing Studio has been in business since 1978-more than 20 years. Cole was founded in 1925-almost 80 years ago! Both our companies know that making your satisfaction our highest priority is good business and sets us apart as companies you can rely on.
