YOU GUYS I'VE FINALLY DONE IT! I'VE GOTTEN THE PERFECT BIKINI!
This is what I've dreamed of for over a year now. I can't believe it finally happened!
So before I get all gushy, I wanted to put the measurements of the high waist bottoms I ordered since there's no option to input measurements for panties or bottoms here. I ordered a size 42, and these are taken laying flat:
Waist: 13.6 inches
Widest part (at hips-ish): 17 inches
Top to bottom: 13.3 inches
So the bottoms are way cute, but they don't cover my whole booty! I was disappointed by that; they are sort of high-cut in the back, which I'm not a ... fan of. I like my whole booty to be covered. I emailed my local seamstress, and she said she could add a ruffle along the bottom edge, so I think I'm going to do that, just because it makes me feel more comfortable to have that extra bit of coverage. (It sorta felt like I was walking around with a wedgie when I tried them on. The ruffle won't eliminate that, I realize, but at least I'll feel more "covered" while wearing them!)
Now to the top. Lemme just get my fangirling out of the way off the bat. It's SO much cuter in person. THERE'S SPARKLES! I didn't even see those on the photos Ewa has on her site. It's like swirly sparkles that sort of dash randomly across the fabric. SO GIRLY I LOVE IT! The colors are SO might brighter in person, too. The pink reminds me of the BM Fluo color. The orange is like a mix between neon orange and bright coral. It's lovely. The back clasp has the little hook ruffle cover thing, too.
As for fit, the top edge is a tiny bit gappy for me, but I expected that. The only bras that lay flat for me are my BMs, and I can't really expect a swimsuit to be made with stretch lace like a bra. This top fits so much better than my custom Saint Tropez. The straps aren't as wide, and the top lays down much better. The quality is simply magnificent.
I am so so glad I ordered this. I was having serious buyer's remorse because of the price, but I got it right away on the first day of the sale, so it was a bit cheaper anyways. It's worth it because now I won't have to order anotehr swimsuit ever again! So worth it. I'm in love.
I seriously hope everyone else who ordered it loves it as much as I do.
