Didn't fit

Technically this swimsuit is two cup sizes too small. With Panache swimsuits I prefer this as they are stretchy and unlined. However Elomi swim is lined! I will say the construction is high quality. The straps are so comfortable compared to Panache and Freya.

The gore does not tack. This is due to cup depth at the apex not being sufficient. Because it's a swimsuit this doesn't bother me. The only problem is if water goes down it it can pull the gore down a bit which is uncomfortable. I might replace the wires to see if it helps but as the cups are quite narrow and short at the sides (for an Elomi of this size) it might not help much. It does hold everything in place well for swimming, even with my rambunctious kids.

The print is an absolutely gorgeous multicolored shell print. My son for some reason thinks it's great (that's a first!). My daughter thinks it's so great I'm getting her a matching one in 36F. As Adore Delano would say, "I'm a goddamn mermaid!"

    It really is amazing because previously she said she didn't like my style. I think she's at the age she's trying to differentiate herself from me. I told her we should wear it different days and try to confuse the pool staff. ;)
