About UsA Cleaner Wave Of Swim
Shop Recycled SwimI’m obsessed with this one piece! It’s so comfortable and fits perfectly. I have a hard time with things feeling too tight around my chest (I’m a 36/38B) so this is perfect with the low back.
I love this one piece with one exception - its too cheeky for me. I love the overall cut/style, the chest coverage, the strap style (although sometimes I have a hard time keeping them up/on), the low back and the leg opening(s) but I wish it came with slightly more coverage for my bum. I am 5'6", 145 lbs, 36A bust, 31.5" waist, 41.5" hips and the size Med is flattering/fits me well except for around my ample bum. (The Cardiff Bottoms are better bum coverage in my opinion - I have 6 of them.). I love the removable cups in this Skye one piece too (that weren't in the navy compression version I just tried).
I recently bought 5 one-piece swimsuits to try - 3 from Carve Designs and 2 from another high end retailer - and this Skye suit was BY FAR the most comfortable (and the only one I kept). I liked the simplicity of the design and that it had a relatively open back. I am 5'6", 150 lbs with 36A bust, 31.5" waist and 41.5" hips. In normal clothes I am usually a size 6 or 8 (bottoms) and the size Medium fit me perfectly (as it does in most CD swimwear). I would say it has slightly less cheek coverage than other CD bottoms of "medium coverage" but overall it is slimming and versatile. I WISH it came in more colors (navy or navy stripe!) because the royal blue was too bright and the clay would wash me out, but I guess you can never go wrong with black.
I have not taken it for the swim test yet, and I am a swimmer. But the style is terrific on this 71-year-old body. Hoping the breasts stay put in the little inset bra, and that will only be known when I take it for a swim. right now our lake is still frozen! Deborah
I love the style and fit of this suit!
