Freya swim sizing
Anyone know how their bottoms run size wise, and how high of a rise they have? I've got my eyeballs on the Malibu halter and tie side bikini set (I actually don't mind this animal print lol), hoping the price maybe comes down eventually, but the bottoms are sized small-medium-large. I looked at their chart on Amazon... but who knows if that's accurate or if they're TTS as they're listed on the chart... according to their chart I'd be a small but I have shorts, jeans, swim bottoms, and underwear from sizes small-large, 26-29, and 1-7 in my closet so needless to say... I despise inconsistent women's sizing and have never tried anything UK, not bikini bottoms or underwear - nothing. But the last thing I want is a bikini bottom that cuts into my less-than-6 pack "abs" and creates a muffin top.
While I'm at it, how are their bikini bands compared to their bra bands? The Malibu isn't offered (at least not on Amazon) in a 28 band, and my experience with Freya 30 bands is laughable. And are their tops sized more like their unlined bras (wear a 28FF) or their padded bras (would wear a 28G)? I'm not as concerned about wire width and cup projection in a swim top since it doesn't get the workload of my bras, in fact I don't mind if my boobs are slightly minimized in a swim top. But overall volume and coverage matters. TIA!

Remember that "fast fashion" clothing companies produce items for 3 dimensional bodies on two dimensional technology. The only ones who are likely using a dressmaker's form are the ones who produce handmade pieces which will always be more expensive but usually a better fit.
I'm a "utilitarian one piece low cut leg and as much possible coverage on top" kind of woman, with hardly any need of a swimsuit at all but own one "just in case".
valentine556 what would you recommend then? Like bottoms by Comexim or is there a shop/brand you like in particular?
I haven't tried on Freya but I'd like to know other people's experiences too! It's getting to be the time for swimsuits. : )
