Good Coverage, Flattering, workable even with my funny shape
PROS: Full coverage bottom, cute pattern.
CONS: Can't buy separate sizes/Cups big for my A-sized chest
I'm gonna ride the wave of body positivity and post this out there for all my fellow Amazon shoppers. I read reviews and feel I need to do my duty and share. I have high expectations with a swimsuit and have been searching for a replacement for my five-year old old trusty black bikini. I swim at least once a week in the summer/take trips to the beach twice a year, and hot tub in the winter. I need a good swimsuit. I've been looking for three months now, both online and offline in economical price ranges. I found that what is the trending is to show the booty cheeks? I got ample roundness back there and can't stand to have much cheek showing. I feel naked! So I took a chance on this 'full coverage' bottom.
First, let me say, I'm a pear. I'm always hesitant to buy when you can't pick separate sizes for top and bottom. In pants/dresses I wear size 10 bottoms, XL or L on yoga pants/shorts/bathing suit bottoms. And up top, I'm a med/or 36A. I followed the sizing guide, and got a medium. AND PRAYED.
I have to say, the bottoms fit very nicely. I squish the front band down a little, as with it pulled all the way up, shortens my torso and makes me look a little chunkier. The top fits snugly around the chest(band), and the cups are a little big, but I won't be falling out, and the coverage is ok. I feel like I can swim laps, splash around, and even take this into the ocean and down waterslides without slippage or whoopsies.
I was worried when I opened it up and saw that it was only lined on the front. But after a quick dunk in the pool, the fabric opaqueness holds up.
This is the third swim suit I've ordered from amazon- and the only one I won't be returning. (for reference the other two were cupshe and angeleralla in same price range of $30). I just hope to lose a little weight up top, so that it's not so tight in the around the band.
