This bikini is adorable. It has a white background with various shades of bright green succulents, some with hot pink flowers. I don't usually go for white swimsuits because I don't tan much. This swimsuit however has lots of color on it, so it doesn't look strange against my pale skin, and isn't see-through.

The cups are underwired, but the cut of the cup gives the look of a triangle bikini top. The back is not adjustable, it has a single plastic clasp. This is a halter neck bikini with double strings and a big hot pink bead at the end of each strap. The ... gore is two small straps. The material is stretchy but not too stretchy. As with all all halter neck bras and swimsuits, if your breasts need a lot of support, your neck will be bearing that weight.

I got the matching ruffle edged bikini bottoms. The style on these are very flattering with elasticized ruffled waist and legs. They are great at not cutting in to create any bulges. I often wear medium bottoms, I have narrow hips that measure around 38 inches. I ordered a small and a medium. They both fit, but I prefered the small. They gave a bit more of a cheeky look, but still weren't super skimpy on me, I was comfortable wearing them swimming with my children.

The one problem that happened with this swimsuit is that the cute beads dangling of the halter strings transfer hot pink dye on to the suit. Which is very noticeable since a lot of the material is white. I don't see how to avoid it, other than maybe removing the beads before use.

Overall I give this bikini 2 thumbs up, I just wish the cups still fit!

This is a pretty and fun alternative to a plain black bra. It has purple lace trim and a purple bubble print.

I like that this bra fits tight, the band stays put and keeps my breasts held up high. Unfortunately the cups are a small and I quad at the top. I can still wear this bra if I want pretty cleavage and a shirt doesn't fit tight to show the quadding. If I order this model again I would get a larger band and cup.

This bra is a pretty color combination of navy and gold. It is a lightweight mesh which is great for summer.
The bra encapsulates my breast tissue, but stabs into my sternum painfully and is hard to wear on my close set breasts. It also does not hold my breasts front, center, and up, but rather in a east-west upside down seven.

My much awaited Comexim Basic arrived quickly! The color is a nice neutral for a light skin color, and the fabric is a nice quality with a pretty shine. Basic but not Boring. In many ways the Comexim fit is what is expected, narrow gore, rounded and breasts to the front. I am glad that I ordered a cup size up (60p, 28KK) from my comexim 60o which was previously my best fitting bra, but quadding. There are some unusual things which I noticed immediately upon trying on this bra, and which were born out in the measurements. My other favorite Comexim band ... feels nice and snug, which I feel like my body needs to support the size of my breasts. This one immediately felt looser. It stretches to 32.5. For a 60cm band! The other major concern that I have, and I don't think is a quibble, as I could see it, and it is visible in the pictures, is that the wires do not fill the channels. There is a half an inch of unfilled channel, which allows a weird shape to my breast at the sides. I also included pictures looking upwards, and you can see a small bit of collapse, but more importantly a small bit of quadding in the center. I think that it is such a small amount, and this is after thorough scooping and swooping, that I shouldn't change size of cups, but I do not know what on earth to do in relation to the band length and unfilled wire channel. Should I try another one from Breakout Bras, letting them know exactly what my problems are with this one? As a side note, since I take my own pictures I feel like my breast always look lopsided as I have to hold one arm out in front. On normal days my breasts don't look so lopsided, haha.

This is a mesh plunge bra that is light weight. It has a floral and fan embroidery across the tops of the cups.

This bra fit me terribly. It is laughably small. My breasts were pushing it down and majorly quadding out of the top. The fit was so bad that I cannot imagine even trying this in another size.

This is a pretty plunge t-shirt bra.

It
Is generally comfortable. I am close set, so the low and close set gore is good for me. The problem with a low gore for me is that I tend to slide in to the center, and have gaping at the upper corners near the straps. This doesn't stop me from weari the bra however. The 32 band is definitely very stretchy, and too big on me. If I order another deco I would probably chose a 28band.

This is a pretty bra with fun colors. Blueberry print on the fabric, and red lace across the top with a cloud pattern on it.

This bra encapsulates my breasts pretty well. It also gives a rounded front and center shape. I am fairly FOB, and I have trouble filling the red lace on the top, especially if my weight is on the lower end of my spectrum. The 32 is definitely too loose for me. That doesn't stop me from wearing the bra, as it does provide a better fit than most of what I have.

It is the Parrot Bra!!!! I have been eyeing this bra for years, it makes me thing of vacations, margaritas, maybe even some Jimmy Buffet... I love the navy with pink in addition to the parrots. Thank you tons to the sweet summersunshine for sending it to me as a surprise with other bras (more reviews to come!).

This bra comes used, so keep that in mind future people who are looking at my measurements. For reference I am close set, full on bottom, with tall roots. This bra is a 30J, and as expected it is about 1 cup ... size too big on me.

This bra has comfortable straps, and is a light, breathable material. It seems like it would be a both flattering and comfortable bra. The gore is narrow enough for my close set breasts. The cups don't cut in to my armpits, which is also nice in this size range. I cannot tell if the cups are a bit wide, as this cup size is one size too big. This bra currently stretches to 31 inches. That is not ridiculous considering that it is used, and there are plenty of 30 inch bras that stretch to 32 inches new.

I am going to keep hoping that eventually I find a Parrot Bra in a 30HH, and I will wear it out to drink Margaritas! In the meantime hoping this beauty finds it's way to the perfect home so someone else can walk around feeling like they are wearing a tropical vacation.

Sisterhood of the traveling bra! Thank you DerangedDragons19 for sending it to me, and mandapandarawks for starting this off. What a fabulous, generous community we have. Hopefully all these reviews for this bra will help future Kostar shoppers.

Unfortunately unlike the jeans, this bra seems to fit no-one who tries it, haha. I was hoping that since I am in between the sizes of the two previous owners I might get lucky, this bra is so beautiful!

I love the colors and look of the fabric of this bra. I was so hopeful to wear a gorgeous neon piece of lingerie!

This bra is ... wildly off in fit for me. At least 2 cup sizes too small, and 1 band size too big. I will do my best to assess the issues of this bra outside of it not fitting me.

This bra has nice thick straps, and a narrow gore. It seems shallow to me. It also seems closed on top. Those impressions are again as best as I can tell as it wasn’t anywhere close to fitting me. More concerning is that the underwire ends an inch before the channel ends, so you get spillage towards your armpit. The back band also seemed stretchy and not very substantial/ maybe not the best quality.
