Please help me find a bikini like this

I found this bikini online and love the style of shorts. But the website has really dodgy reviews so I'd like to find it somewhere else that can be more trusted. Any body seen anything similar? I can only find really tight, tiny shorts.

Alternatively if anyone has used sea fancy and wants to share their experience that would be good too.

Following because I like the look of this too!

You could find some men's swimming shorts you like & then buy a coordinating bikini top!

You would also get pockets! Grin

I'm not sure those Fatface shorts are actually swimshorts but Fatface do do swimshorts.

Just found some lovely ones from Roxy. Now need to hunt out a matching top!

So like I said I've found some I like but I can't justify £80 on a bikini. Anyone seen any sets around £40-50 for top and bottom?

Thanks for the thread OP.

Those bikinis looked amazing too. I just looked at the reviews on trustpilot and they're Shocking 😱

I suppose I did wonder why their prices were so reasonable, compared to similar companies...

I know. It's such a shame because I love loads of their designs and the price is good.

following!

My 14 yo DD picked an almost identical one from that site too it was shorts and a cropped
racer back top. I’ve held back ordering due to reviews.

I’ve looked at other board shorts too but are t they just shorts? The sea fancy ones seem to have a leg/cycle short type layer and are made
from the same fabric as the top.

landsend no good for DD she’s 14 and wants something more her age and not £80.

If it helps I ordered two of these in April and they're great quality and true to size, very flattering too Smile

@PurplePeach62 can I ask what the sizing was like? Did you order your usual U.K. size?

Buildingthefuture · 21/05/2023 09:14

Swimwear 365 have some nice ones with shorts. I’ve ordered quite a bit from them over the years and the quality has always been good, no problem with returns etc.

A lot of the reviews seem to be about returns. But also people not receiving items.

Decathlon do bikini shorts like that. Here are some on the Spanish site (I'm in Spain). https://www.decathlon.es/es/p/pantalon-banador-mujer-cintura-elastica-cordon-ajuste-estampado/_/R-p-305325?mc=8528634

I saw a couple on decathlon but they only had a few colours and none had matching tops I liked. I need something a bit more supportive than the string tie style.

Well tbh I've just had a surprise when I checked the sizes and it makes me think they've changed them since I first ordered.-I'm a standard size 14 and I ordered a M - which now equates to a 12 on their chart.
I definitely wouldn't have ordered a 12 so not sure now.
They are both marked as M but if I was ordering for the first time now I'd go for a L Hmm

I bought the mylene klass one from next which comes ( optional ) with matching shorts which I wear over the top of the bottoms . I have a curvy bum and feel self conscious because my knickers always go up my bum so this stops me having to worry about it .

Snoozinandlosin · 24/05/2023 18:13

Seafolly do these and I have a set and it’s amazing, flattering and long lasting. However I’d expect it to be double your price point. I shocked myself when I bought mine but I’ve had it years and the shorts bit can be worn as shorts wandering around resorts, and over one pieces too.

Isn’t Seafolly the brand that had a non binary model thrust his cock into a bikini? The model is also pretty adamant that women should accept female penises in their changing rooms etc and he exposed his penis to two journos.

Stunning and brave.

I’m sorry to get political in Style and Beauty, but I wouldn’t buy from them, no matter how good their board shorts are.

I came across this and thought of this thread. Hope it helps.

I love this. But I can't find any reviews of the website. Have you ordered from them?
