An honest (& vulnerable) review
So, I love doing reviews, I haven't done any in awhile because I've been really sick with a virus. Ironically, right before I got sick, I ordered 2 bikini's online. They sat in their Amazon package as I lay in bed for over 2 weeks (it was a really bad virus). Anyway, I'm finally better - well almost, but better enough to review. I thought about whether or not to upload a video for this review because in a video you really get a feel for the item but in this case? You also see me - almost all of me. I decided to upload the video because it's real, you can probably see why I think this suit is really pretty, a great price and good quality but NOT for me.
Here's what I think of the suit:
1. I'm 5'4 and 110 lbs, slightly pear shape, I keep hoping to find a suit that covers my bum a bit without it looking like I'm wearing grandma pants OR the "retro" high waisted bottoms (not a fan - I think they look like diapers). This suit did disappoint me in that like every other suit I've tried on, it barely covers your bottom. To be fair? I am a pear shape and I have little to no muscle tone - I'm thin but yeah, welcome to the land of cellulite - I'm working on that (exercise) but in the meantime? I did not feel comfortable in this suit because it did not cover me. Plus? I got a medium and I think it was too big or maybe they just don't put enough elastic in it?
So bottom line?
Do not get this suit if you're a heavier on the bottom or like me have a pear or upside down heart bum (nice way of putting it.) If you're an apple, ruler or reverse triangle? This suit is great for you.
Get this suit if you don't mind it being a bit skimpy on the bottom. You can also pull out the pads (I am not a fan of pads) and the top (medium) was too big on me (I'm a 34 B).
I really DO like the color of the suit, the quality and how comfortable it is (as long as I don't bend over :-))
This I also know; bathing suits are just not made to be comfortable and flattering to most women - or maybe I'm alone in wanting my butt cheeks to be covered?
Overall I gave the suit 4 stars because the price is awesome, the style is pretty and I love the blue shade of it. Minus one star for the skimpy back. And I am returning it.
