A very flattering ...
I'm 5'7, 120#, and small chested. I loved the snug fit of the XS but went for the small as it is more forgiving and age appropriate. Love that the built in support is not constricting - perfect for warm summer days. The cut is flattering and the swimsuit fabric is vibrantly hued that the ... can actually transition from a day outdoors to a casual night out. The amount of fabric around the middle is a bit too much for my built but overall what a great versatile ...
LOVE thid ...
I now own this ... 3 colors. You can wear it any time. I have worn it to the pool, but have also ... up with simple jewelry and heels and worn it to a casual summer wedding. I always get many compliments on this ... Colors are bright and vibrant---they don't fade after washing. The material is comfy like baithing suit material. The fit is flattering on anyone. The top is adjustable and there are several ways to wear it. This has a built in bra that has enough support/coverage you really don't need a bra. I wear a 36 C and am 5'7"---I order a medium/6-8 regular. I would reccomend to anyone!
flattering
I ordered this ... summer trip to Europe. Unfortunately, it did not arrive in time. However, it is a beautiful ... enjoy wearing. I have a curvy but slim figure at 5'6, 130 lbs, and I find that it works for my hourglass shape. It is sexy without being too provocative. The built in bra is perfectly supportive for the hot summer months and enough for my 34 D cups for casual wear.
I love this ... fits perfect and is very flattering. It will transition from dressy casual to very casual, I think I will even wear it to work with a sweater!
Love it!
I bought three different dresses to try hoping that at least one would fit--this is IT! I love it. It's casual enough to simply wear around in summer, but it is so simple and the neckline so interesting, you could glam it up a bit and wear it out for dinner too. Fit is great. Nice drape, not too clingy--very flattering. I am 5'4" and about 125 lbs and ordered the small in asphalt and could not be happier. Love the built in bra--quite substantial. Wish I had acted quickly enough to get this in another color...maybe next year. Thanks Athleta.
another athleta homerun
how am I going to tell my husband there is another Athleta ... need?! Love the color (kaui blue), and material. The cut is really great- it looks "sack like" online, but actually shows a feminine shape all the way without being as tight as the shorebreak ... bra support is great too- I am a 34 B and want something that keeps me from looking saggy and this is awesome! The only thing I wish is that it was a few inches longer- I am only 5 ft 4" and this hits 3 inches above my knees. I am 120 lbs and got an xs. I would wear it everyday and for casual ... but not ... too formal because of the performance material. Go for it! (if you don't have 5 new Athleta dresses from this season). Ooops, that me.
Great ... beach or hot day
Casual ... goes well with some flip flops on a hot day or straight to the beach. It is obviously casual and "swim suit" material looking so this is not a ... night time. 5'7" 140lbs, 36B = medium. Lots of compliments on this ... -- however not as flaterring or comfortable as the Shorebreak ...
Great coverage and support for the twins
Let me start by saying I'm busty. I like that this ... has a higher neckline because I don't always want the twins on display (and they often are in casual dresses.) I also love the internal bra...it keeps things in place and covered up, even when my infant is pulling on my clothes. I haven't washed the garment yet so I can't speak to durability, but the material is a heavy swimsuit type and because it has a bit more weight it hangs well and doesn't cling. I ordered the asphalt but got black by mistake. I recently had a baby and this ... doesn't show my current flaws and isn't fitted through the torso which I appreciate. My only dislike is that the top cuts in a bit and shows a bit more of the side of my chest and shoulders than I would like, but not a deal breaker. Overall I am happy with this purchase and look forward to wearing it on my upcoming vacation.
Met all my expectations!
Great color (blue), fit and fabric. Needed this for a casual outdoor summer party and it fit the bill.
Great Packable Summer ...
Nice versitile ... good for a coverup or simple summer wear. The material does make it seem a little more suited for casual wear, but it dries super fast which is nice. I am a little dissapointed with the built in support, due to the fit of the cupsize. I Normally wear a size 2 and ordered the ... xs.The chest fits a little loose, so I added a little additional padding to the cups and it fits fine. The neckline is very flattering, I took it on a recent trip to Mexico and was pleased with how well it packed. It was a little wrinkled when I took it out of the suitcase, but a little time on the hanger and it was totally wrinkle free!!
Too big :<
After much debate, and reading other reviews and recommended size charts, I ordered the Small. I am 5 ft 5 inches tall, 121 Ibs, athletic figure, 34B (or 36A) chest. I like a casual, loose fit, which is why I ordered this style but it is just a little too big and hangs too much at the back and sides. Length was OK. Just above the knee. Going to exchange and try the XS. Fingers crossed. Colour is lovely though - more fushia / cerise than purple. Material nice - similar to a swim suit but less lycra. Neck line fab and playing around with the straps gives a slightly different look. Chest support good but you need to play with the cups to get them in the right position first. Great ... throw on to look casual / smart all day / night. Could ... up for sure with nice jewellery / shoes. An eye catcher. Just hope XS fits and doesn't pull around chest or too tight under arm pits. Will let you know!
