I am in love w/this bikini - I think it's so p retty and girly. But, do you girls think I could get away w/wearing it? My main concern is that I'm fair-skinned and I have a C cup chest. What do you girls think?
It looks a bit too much like a bra and panties to me, I think a large chest would just exacerbate that, so I would say no, but if you really really like it, I don't think it would be obscene to wear or anything, just think you could do better.

hmm, do you use self-tanner? If not I think the color would probably not be super-flattering. I am super fair too and usually feel better in black or darker colors, cause I think the contrast is looks nice. Cannot address your other question as I am, ahem, underqualified.
Maybe it's just me, but I think that light purple is one of the pastel colors that actually looks good on pale skin. I'm white as a ghost, but no matter what shade of purple I put on, I look amazing. Even pastel purples. Obviously it's an all-over coloring thing (I'm sure my dark hair helps), but I really think light purple is okay even on light skin.
I don't think your boobs would be a problem either, probably... I wore triangle bikini tops until I gained weight in the past year and got horrifically large up top. I wore them through a C cup and into a D and sometimes even when I was a DD. Unless you need or want support than a little string can't give you, I vote to go for it!

You should totally get the suit...I think it's super-adorable too.
I think the triangle panels look large enough to accomodate your chest. I am a D/DD and IO can still wear some string bikini tops without major problems. Also, I think that shade of purple looks really cute on light skin tones.
I looked at that bikini too when I was buying some VS. I don't know about the fit and what-not exactly, but they reason I didn't get it was because the bottoms looked too much like panties to me. I think it's the combo of the bow and scalloping. But who knows, maybe in real life it would look more like a swimsuit. As for fit and colour, I don't think it would be a problem (I am very pale, and I have a C cup chest and I would totally wear that style).
