Living in Florida, it's essential to have a swim wardrobe— that means multiple swim suits, cover ups and everything else to go along with them. What was a fun pastime in my teens and twenties, has become more of a chore than anything else. I have come to loathe swimsuit shopping because getting the right fit and coverage seems almost impossible when most stores cater to women who have perfect bodies. I no longer get excited about swimsuit season, and for the past few years have recycled my plain black one-piece suit.
To step out of my comfort zone, I decided to take a bold step and try swimsuit shopping online at Figleaves.com. Through a campaign with Millenial Central, I selected a BIKINI in a bright and bold color to get out of my swimwear rut. Figleaves offers swimwear for bodies of all sizes, and one of the most appealing things to me was being able to order by cup size (AA-GG), rather than small, medium, large and so on. I took a chance on the Congo Underwire Padded Bikini Top and matching Adjustable Side Bikini Brief and was pleasantly, pleasantly surprised when my order arrived.
First of all, the quality of Figleaves swimwear is AMAZING for the price — The top came in $47 and the bottom at $33. The fabric is clearly high quality with tight seams and gold bead accents that enhance the style. I adore the sturdy clasp as well. The fit was better than expected. I ordered my bra size for the top and it fit perfectly. I've never had a swimsuit cover everything it was supposed to while still highlighting all my best features like this one. Also, the padding on this top is very subtle... nothing like other bikinis where you get cleavage that's borderline obscene. It's cute, stylish and I can't wait to wear it on our cruise this summer and beyond!

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Millennial Central for Figleaves.com. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions are my own.

I just ordered this and because it's on sale my entire order was $20!! So thrilled that the quality holds up, but then again it's what I expect from Figleaves. At these prices you should snap up another one 😉
