Women's Banded Side Skirted Swim Bottom

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an ultramarine blue top whose perfectly matched bottom faded so I bought this as a replacement. I absolutely love the ancient Indian ikat dyeing technique used in the design (not actually hand dyed:) and it matches perfectly with my blue top. It fits comfotably but the elastic is a bit loose in the bikini legs so that's why I give it a 4. Hopefully it won't get looser and it is covered. I bought a M, 5'6", 125 lbs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally ordered the size large (12) based on my hip measurements, although the sizing assistant indicated I could possibly wear a medium. I found the gorgeous buttery fabric to be so soft and comfy that the large bottoms felt incredible comfy, but not as snug as I would like for the style. I reordered in a medium to do some fit comparison and chose to keep the medium as it's a bit snugger. The colors on this line of fabric is very lovely and is not only a visual delight in the warm white, browns, & blacks, but is quite forgiving in any "flaw" that I may identify with my figure. I have settled on both the bandeau top & bottoms in a medium. Can hardly wait to wear the suit as I feel very confident in it!
