J Crew Swimwear-Any owners care to give a short review?

Cecilia2 · May 20th, 2008, 02:34 PM

Shopping for swimwear, and I love thier mix and match. Does anyone own this?

I have some! I can't tell you how it wears because I don't swim much so it's gotten very little use. It seems like good quality, though, it is well lined front and back on both pieces. I have a black low-rise bikini bottom and a black cinched bandeau with the halter string. The bottom fit TTS, the top ran really small and was cut a little funny. The nylon they use is a little shiny, FYI, I have other bathing suits that are more matte.

Thanks elle tee!

That is super helpful-especially re: the top sizing...that is very good to know.

all of my suits except for 3 are from J Crew (I probably have 10 bikinis) I don't have any of the mix and match though. They are really good quality, I always make sure to hand wash though.

i also find their bathing suit tops run a size too small.

Thanks Ladies-most helpful. I would never have known this based on J Crew's size chart for swimwear.

I love their swimwear, tops are small. They are great colors and I mix and match solids all the time!

The tops run small but last a lifetime! I've had my mix and match bandeau bikini for years and it still looks great!
