Review of the SugarShape Ahoi Bikini!

Hello, lovely readers! It's been awhile, hasn't it? My bad. Work, still, has been driving me pretty nuts. However, one of the things I do best when I'm stressed is shop online. That's how I ended up caving to temptation and grabbing myself the SugarShape Ahoi Bikini Top and Ahoi High-Waisted Bottom I mentioned in my Summer Wishlist!

Ahoi, matey! ... get it? I am so funny. I am the funniest. 
This will have to be a mini-review of sorts, since I didn't want to nag my roommate into taking a billion pictures for me.

The top: I ordered the top in 85/110, which tends to be my normal SugarShape size (I regularly wear a 34HH in UK sizing). It fits really well! My left boob tries to sneak out a bit, but my left boob has always been a rebel. The straps are very thin, yet still extremely comfortable. It is a relief to find a cute bikini for full busts that isn't a halter-top! I hate halter-tops because I think they're exceptionally painful. I personally don't understand how someone thinks it's a good idea to make someone's neck support really big boobs... but I digress. This top is adorable and I love it.

The bottoms: These may be the best-fitting, most comfortable swim bottoms I've ever owned. They don't give me wedgies, I can adjust where I want them to sit, and the ties on the side are simply adorable. I wear a size 12/14 bottoms in U.S. sizing, and I ordered a size 115 in these bottoms.

If you don't mind taking the price plunge (shipping to the U.S. can get pricey), I highly recommend giving SugarShape's swim line a try. Their customer service is totally on point and I love working with them!
