Bathing Suit Opinions

I think it is adorable and I bet the color would look great on you.

jj · Kate Spade

Cute! I love the ribbon detail. Just make sure the bottoms are fully lined...

bumblebee · Coach

i think it's really cute, and $60 is a good deal for salinas. order a size up, though--if you aren't familiar with salinas, it's brazilian and runs tiny.

Adorable!

So normally, I'm a M top and XS/S bottom - should I order a L top and M bottom?

It's cute, but with the darker color on top and the lighter on the bottom, it will make your top look smaller and your bottom larger - not sure if that's good for your body type or not. (It's not so good for the model!)

Thanks for pointing that out poptart! I'm actually bigger on top than I am on the bottom = big boobs w/no butt! So, I think this actually may balance me well.

Oh good! Then I say go for it - very cute!

yes, right. although, it's hard to explain, but the sizes have less to do with the fit and more to do with the coverage. the bottoms will be cut extremely tiny, but because they are stretchy, even if you are a size 0-2 in the butt, you would still be able to wear even a L bottom, it would just cover more (but not fall off your hips).

Now you're really confused me bumblebee!! I'm a size 2-4, so I'm thinking maybe I should actually order both a S and M in the bottoms and return whichever don't fit?

BTW- thanks girls for your comments.

my friend who is a size 0 (and a total exhibitionist) wears an M in their bottoms.

OMG! So maybe I should order a M and L!

bumblebee · Coach

i think the M would work for you. i was just trying to save you the hassle of ordering sizes that are going to be really teeny, because their sizing is just very strange. unless this is a different line that they have for the U.S. market or something, in which case none of that would apply. but if it were me, i'd order the M.

I love it. It is adorable. I love the details, the only thing I would be concerned with is the white bottom...I would get it and see how it looks in real life!

Oh it's not white - it's lighter pink and then a pinky coral.

I would get it. For some reason it looks like white and Coral on my screen. They make suits a lot thicker than they use to so I say get it!

jacL · Coach

I love the ribbon!

I think that suit would look really good on you, and I like how the bottom is lighter since you are smaller on the bottom.

I would go with a M since this brand cuts them small. I have no experience with this brand, but I have found in general that going one size up gives more coverage without being too baggy.
