Review on ๐Ÿ‘™ Classic Charm: Esther Williams Women's 50's Pin Up Swimsuit for Effortless Elegance by Rachel Ellis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

OK but color may fade depending on selection

I ordered a plain black swimsuit but received black polka dots instead so I was disappointed. But I've bought two other Ester Williams suits and have mixed feelings about them. Shortly after the birth of my youngest child, I bought a red polka dot suit from another online shop. It looked great. I was able to walk without worrying about any "accidents", I was able to breastfeed comfortably (bonus!) and it did a great job of hiding my post pregnancy belly. But then I started to fade. I followed the washing instructions exactly and after a month of use it was gone. I paid almost 100โ‚ฌ for it and was very disappointed. I really liked the cut though, so next summer I decided to buy a solid navy colorway through Amazon. I really loved this costume. The fit was the same but the color stayed the same all season and I didn't follow the washing instructions as closely as I did last time. I've since lost most of my pregnancy weight and needed a different suit, so I settled on a different Esther Williams. Can't comment on the color (because they sent me the wrong color) but it didn't suit me. I lost my breastfeeding breast so I just don't fill it up enough. And the ruffles I used to love made me look bloated. So I think it's not the right year for me this year. But I really liked my blue swimsuit!

Pros

Cons
