Amazon Prime Wardrobe: Swimsuit Edition! (Where I order bras/bikinis available on Amazon Prime Wardrobe to try on and add more data to Bratabase!)
My shape: FOB, projected, soft tissue, narrow shoulders

So here's another case of mistaken identity/mislabeled bra/bikini. Luckily, it's just a try-on bikini, so I'm not out anything but the time it took me to try on/measure/take pictures, which I would have done anyways. This was listed on Amazon as a UK 32G, but I was sent a US 32G, which is several cup sizes too small for me. I don't know if it's because it was listed as a "Junior's" bikini? That would certainly explain how small this is in the cup! The label attached and on the bikini says UK 32F, which is more in line with the actual size, so I think there was some miscommunication on the website.
Anyways, this is a well made, pretty cute bikini top! It's got a little ruched/gather effect at the middle of the cups, and the top edge has scalloping, which I personally think adds a little more cuteness factor. The cups themselves are 3 part construction, ((on diagonally horizontal and one vertical) but the outside has an extra layer of fabric so you can't see the seams. It's a nice alternative for someone who likes the fit of bras with seams, but the look of molded cups.
I am really loving how cute the Curvy Kate bikinis are! They have so many different options. I just wish their bras/bikinis fit me.

• Oh my mandapandarawks we really do get each other!!

  I ordered Fantasie bra & panties from Prime this week. Just to see if it could possibly be fantastic (pun intended) enough to be worth the price and/or be an alternative to my beloved Polish brands. Nope. No cigar. I'll post it on the weekend.

  Speaking of size conversions: I HATE them with a passion. Please, retailers, stop doing this. Well, actually, I don't care, but please still list or show the sizes as they appear on the manufacturer's tag.

  Poor you and your bikini quest...I just wear simple triangle bikini tops. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Thank God. Bras are enough trouble.

  I've got four other bikinis I have to measure and review, but yes, none of them worked. I wasn't surprised; it was more of a half-hearted hope that maybe SOMETHING would fit ok, but nothing remotely compares to the Polish bras and how well they fit me.
  I agree about the size conversions. It just causes more unnecessary confusion!

  Thanks for posting the pics and measurements. The cup depth/width/height seems pretty close to my 32E size and the style looks cute. I might give this style a go if I don't like any that I ordered to try.

  I've also been ordering some bikini tops to try (for bra science too and hoping I will eventually like one enough, lol) and it's hard. I wish they wouldn't convert the sizes either, I've made so many mistakes when ordering because of this.

• mandapandarawks Oh honey, your bikini luck just doesn't end, does it? Sorry and big hugs. 💕
  I hope the Peach on the Beach nails it for you. 🍀🍀🍀 You are so overdue for a bikini win!

  braluv have you been using Amazon prime Wardrobe to order swimsuits? They have a LOT of them available, though I think they are a little overpriced if you buy through them. I only picked out ones that had underwire and came in my size or sister size, and that only amounted to 5 actual bikinis, lol.

  This particular one is pretty cute! I would probably wear it if I could try on my for real size, but since they converted it wrong on Amazon, I don't even know what size I would be sent. They have it for $66, but I'm sure you could find it cheaper on eBay or somewhere else!

• mandapandarawks I haven’t been using Amazon lately since I had such little luck before and I feel their prices aren’t as competitive sometimes. I have mostly been trying some stuff in store at Target, Nordstrom Rack, and ordering from Bare Necessities (BN) and Target (they have free returns). BN has some great pricing right now and send out coupons all the time, plus they usually have free 2-day shipping. There’s this new style from CK which I think is really nice: https://us.curvykate.com/curvy-kate-wrapsody-black-bandeau-bikini-top They also have this same style as a one-piece which looks really chic and classy.
