Old Navy Bikini Top in Medium

My boyfriend took me out to the shops a week or so ago. I wandered into Old Navy just to see what shorts they had (negativo on the shorts) when I spotted this glorious rack of bikini tops! They looked seamed! And supportive and pretty! I grabbed a medium and full of false hope I tried it on. It did not work. It did not come even close to working. I do not know why I tried. I have given up, and have ordered the lovely Bra Obsessed Port bikini top by Comexim in a 65H (or 65HH? I don't remember-it was whatever Jaimie recommended) that should be coming in next week.

I did not purchase this swim top. I do not have measurements for you. I picked the one day to not carry my tape measure (I have no idea how I started this habit but it's been surprisingly useful). However I can say that it is wide and shallow. The band has 3 different 'tabs' I guess for the usual plastic bikini hooky thing but I would say that this would best be suited to 34 or 36 band best and for those that have wide shallow breasts that don't need too much support. The straps on this model are removable/multiway. I forgot to take pictures of that for you, sorry guys. The biggest disappointment is that the cups are not seamed. I completely understand why-it's quicker and cheaper-but I did get my hopes up. The quality is okay and if it fit I would have purchased it. When I saw it, it was priced around 30 dollars.

Looks deceptively good from the front. However, the gore is wide, resting on tissue and does not tack. I had no issues for once with the width of the strap placement. If you squint, you can almost see the fact that I did not fill the bottom of the cups. They were shallow and the overall cup is wide.

Again, almost looks like it fits! However, this is without the gore being pushed in place. When I pulled the band back tight, it was obvious that the cups were way too small. I got super quadding but I could not get a decent photo of that sadly. You can see the breast closest to the camera trying to sneak her way out.

And this is what happens when I pressed the gore flat. Quad city. Again, too wide and rests on tissue so it would have been a no go even if the gore voluntarily tacked.

Adjustable slots for the hook.

I can't figure out how to make this un upside down, but you can see the inside of the cup, the spots for the straps and the wire channel.

There was no tag information on this bra so I am unsure what it is called. For the price, the quality is okay. Again, I would reccomend it for a woman with a 34-36ish back with wide shallow breasts that are not close set and don't need too much support.

Aerie String Bikini in Medium with Medium Matching Bottoms and Medium Swim Shorts from JC Penny

Quick review because I'm putting off applying to jobs. I decided it was time I buy a suit of some sort since the last time I did was in 8th grade so like 9 years ago? Something like that. Not much to comment on here, except that string bikinis are not the best on me. However, I did buy it because neon pink and birds. I didn't like how low cut the bottoms were so I hopped on over to JC Penny and bought swim shorts in a size medium. I bought the suit from TJ Maxx so your mileage may vary.

Sorry I don't have too many photos of the top, but the sides and back aren't too exciting. I get great cleavage, and it fits fine if i don't move. I can't swim anyway, so that doesn't really bother me too much.

Best photo of the minor quad I could manage. The halter hurts my neck but not too badly. It's still wearable. I can slide the cups along the string to somewhat adjust the fit and what part of my boob I want to expose.

I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the set all together, but I took the top off before I thought about it and then was too lazy to put it back on. Imagine lots of pink and you got it. I wish these bottoms were higher cut. They don't look too bad from the front but I hate how they look from the side. I have not worn them out for this reason.

Love the back coverage. Cheeky and flirty but appropriate. If I could find a style like this in a higher rise I'd buy them.

Plain and boring black but it matches everything.

Tummy is sucked in nicely.

Fuller coverage on the back, but they don't ride up or give me a wedgie so I don't mind. I wish they weren't so matronly looking but I couldn't find a cheeky bottom with a higher cut waist and I was bored already after visiting two shops. Also, I'm pretty broke at the moment.

Next reviews will be focused on what is still in stock or available from Ewa and Freya and then I'll discuss the discontinued styles I have.
