Review on Vintage-Inspired Floral Halter High-Waisted Bikini Set By COCOSHIP - Available In Black, Pink, And Blue - Perfect For Carnival And Beach Day by Olivia Barber

I ordered the cherry print in XL, but received an XL bottom and a L top for some reason. I don't know if I want to bother returning it for the correct size top as I don't think I'll be able to safely wear the top anywhere other than my backyard regardless of size:). I have a black underwire top I plan to wear instead, so it's not really an issue. The bottoms fit well and I plan to keep them but I easily could have gone with a large. I'm concerned what will happen once they get wet, but dry they are amazing.I also ordered the aqua top (gorgeous color!) with the black polka dot bottom in the 2XL, as I wanted to compare the 2XL to the XL. The top almost fits but is slightly too big. Things don't feel secure no matter how I adjust or tie the ties. It fits while I'm standing up and not moving, but the second I bend over or move, things fall out. The bottoms are too loose and I think they would slide down and get really baggy once wet. I LOVE both suits, just need to get the size issues taken care of. Now that I figured out my size, I plan to exchange the 2XL for an XL. I'm also going to order another color (or 3) in a L to see how that works out. The hardest part is narrowing it down to 1 or 2 other colors because these are the cutest suits I've tried since having 2 kids in 3 years. Even though I'm basically buying these just for the bottoms (I really need a top with an underwire) it's worth it!My husband has not seen me in a bathing suit (without some kind of cover) in 7 years. These suits give me enough of a confidence boost to give it a try on our upcoming vacation. That is a really big deal for me!For reference, I'm 5'9", 170 and a 34 or 36D. Before kids, I was a surfer in great shape at around 140 with completely flat abs and muscle definition. We live by the beach in SoCal where the majority of women are thin, tan and in small bikinis at the beach. While I don't have enough confidence to wear this at the beach yet, it's the closest I've gotten to feeling okay in a bathing suit which is a major accomplishment! The past 2 years I spent a few 100 dollars ordering from Jcrew and still couldn't find something I was comfortable in. I ordered from them again this year and the package arrived the same day as my Ebay order. I tried all of the suits on and promptly repackaged the Jcrew suits because the suits from Ebay are much more flattering on my current figure. Not to mention the fact that I can almost get 3 of the Ebay suits for the price of 1 from Jcrew! There is obviously a noticeable quality and construction difference but not enough for me to really care. I will update this review after I actually use these suits on our trip. Hopefully they hold up!
