David on the Butt puts its classical portrait exactly where the name suggests. These
art print bikini bottoms pair a blue, clouded sky at the front with an oversized
image of David across the back. The high waist gives the print room, while the curved
leg line keeps the silhouette clean.

The sky comes from a 35mm photograph taken above JFK by [Quirk founder and designer Melynda](https://shopquirkla.com/vintage-fashion-boutique/)
on a trip to New York Fashion Week. A digital photograph of David is layered over
that film image to create the print.

## High-waisted art print bikini bottoms

The smooth recycled stretch fabric has a double layer and a pale blue lining. These
bottoms are non-reversible, with a high-rise waistband and a close fit. Wear them
with the [matching David bikini top](https://shopquirkla.com/product/recyled-padded-bikini-top-4/)
to carry the clouds through the full set, or let the portrait stand on its own with
a simple solid-color top.

## Fabric and care

Fabric composition varies by production location: 75% recycled polyester and 25%
elastane for pieces made in the US or Mexico; 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane
for pieces made in Latvia. Check the garment label for the exact composition of 
your pair.

Rinse thoroughly after swimming to remove salt or chlorine, and follow the care 
label. Avoid rough pool edges and hook-and-loop fasteners that can snag the fabric.

## Choosing your size

Measure around your natural waist and the fullest part of your hips, keeping the
tape level. Compare those body measurements with the table below. If you fall between
sizes, choose the larger size.

 Body measurements — inches (centimeters)  |  Size |  Waist |  Hips |  
   |  S |  26 3/4 (68) |  37 (94) |  
 |  M |  28 3/8 (72) |  38 5/8 (98) |  
 |  L |  31 1/2 (80) |  41 3/4 (106) |  
 |  XL |  34 5/8 (88) |  44 7/8 (114) |

The size guide also includes flat garment measurements to compare with a pair you
already like. Choose your size above, or explore the print in the [David in the Clouds one-piece swimsuit](https://shopquirkla.com/product/one-piece-swimsuit-4/).
