Bikini with Bow Detail
|
|
I really like the fabric used for this cute bikini, sent to me for review. What makes this style unique and so eye-catching are the two decorative bows. The one at the front spans half of the bra and the one at the back (slightly smaller) perks up the back view of the briefs, giving them an irresistibly cheeky appeal.
I find this bikini perfectly suitable for even young girls because the top is quite demure and the short-style bottom offers quite a bit of coverage. The top has minimal padding, more of a lining really, and no wire or other support so it is incredibly comfortable to wear and the multiple spaghetti straps distribute pressure very evenly. The strap that goes over the neck is optional and removable, which is great for sunbathing to minimize tan marks, but don't try to dive in a pool without it! |

To help you with size selection, in clothes I take a UK size 10, US size 8, and for this I asked for my usual size, Small. Although the top fits perfectly, I find the bottom a little tight. It's clearly designed for slim hips, whereas mine are more, shall we say, generous. So in this case I would advise choosing your size based on the hip measurement, because the top is much more forgiving and customizable. Or look for a variation on this style with a string bikini bottom. The fabric is elastic and stretchy, and fully lined. There is quite a selection of prints and solid colours in various combinations, all very fresh and summery. A good quality item, well made and nicely finished, and very pretty to look at.

Bikini with push-up effect
|
|
Offered to me for review, I find this bikini adorable and very sexy, with incredible push-up effect. The cups of the top are larger than I expected and have enough padding to take anyone to the next level, while the bottom is cut small and perky.
Because of the amount of padding, and the plunge style of the top, this bikini is perhaps not the most carefree choice for an energetic swim, but it would look very fetching for a refreshing dip in the pool and it is certainly perfect for sunbathing. The colour in person is exactly as in the photos, a pale sky blue, delineated by black lines and stitching. To help you with size selection, in clothes I take a UK size 10, and for this I asked for my usual size, Small. To my relief, the bikini fits perfectly. Actually, if you order the correct size based on your bra size, this style is almost certain to fit, as both top and bottom can be tied as tight or loose as you wish and so are customizable. The bottom is cut quite small, so you can get maximum exposure to the sun and a great tan. It is my favourite type of bikini bottom, and I think, the most universally flattering. The fabric has good stretch and is fully lined, it's a good quality item, with a very edgy look. |

One-piece Swimsuit
|
|
|
An elegant one-piece swimsuit with a pretty detail in front. It ties at the back like a bikini and can be worn with a thin strap over the neck or strapless (the top interior edge is lined with a strip of sticky material, similar to that found in strapless or multi-position bras, to keep everything in place). I was offered this to evaluate and review, and was not sure what size to ask for.
Eventually I decided on a size Small based on the bust size and overall length. Unfortunately, I find that it's a bit tighter than I thought. Actually, it's almost okay but I was expecting the kind of stretchy fabric (Elasthanne and Polyamide) normally found in racing swimsuits. This material has some elasticity but not enough to make the fit comfortable if the size is not perfect. So maybe go up one size from your normal one. |

There is a little bit of removable padding over the chest (see detail photo) but this style has no push-up effect and will not create cleavage, unless you already have it. So the effect is rather demure and understated. It reminds me a little bit of the stylish designs of the fifties. As the product photos show, it looks quite different on someone with a C cup or bigger. I chose the colour black because of its timeless elegance, but there is also bright green, coral-red and black with tiny polka dots. The cut at the top of the thighs is flattering and will make you look leggy. On the right body type, it looks beautiful.
