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.
