Just got more swim in the mail. All of them are heritage solids:
Lowrider bottom is SO much better on me than the bikini bottom, which felt like it was very high waisted. I got an XXS and it fits great. For reference, I usually wear a 00 in Minnies and a 0 in most other J.Crew bottoms. I tried an XS in the bikini style last time and it was definitely too big.
Padded string top- It kind of has a weird shape, not exactly like most triangle top bikinis I've seen at surf shops and department stores. I also don't like that the padding is actually attached, whereas normally in a string top the padding can be taken in and out. The material combined with the padding gives it a stiff look and feel. I definitely prefer a softer, silkier material in this style top.
Twist-front bandeau top- I like this one and I will probably keep it. It looks WAY different IRL than it does in the picture. Why they picked such a bad picture to put on the website is beyond me. This had built in padding too but it worked much better on this style. I got an XXS and I think it fits (I tried an XS last time and though I liked that it gave me more coverage from the top of my chest to the bottom, it looked too blocky and overwhelming on me). I usually wear a 30B/C bra.
Colors:
Agate- really pretty. Most accurate picture is the picture for the
ruched bandeau top. The picture of agate shown on the padded string top is wrong, and is one of the colors from the first swim rollout (I think island aqua). I know because I wanted that color but they didn't have my size!!
Plum orchard- I could take or leave thise. I definitely would have preferred the bright dahlia from the last rollout but they didn't have my size when I ordered. If I decide to get another one I would go with the bright dahlia.
Navy- I got this last time and I liked it. It was a nice color but felt a little more like an undergarment to me than swimwear. I am really pale and have dark hair so I think it just wasn't right for my coloring, though DF really liked it.
Overall I wish that they had some brighter, more summery colors like they did in the first rollout. I'd like a nice orangey coral like the cerise color but pinker. The colors seem a bit drab for swimwear.
Hope this helps someone out there!
I can't believe it but I just don't love it on me. It is slightly see through but my real issue is that you can't really push up the sleeves because the glitter goes all the way down. Also, the sweater is not fitted and it hung on me in a strange way. Oh well, on to the next must have!
