skirted swimwear - reviews
Great bottom
This ... perfect! Loved it - great color and great fit. I'm short so a skirted bottom can be tricky and this one is perfect!
Finally, a brown shade available in swimwear 2011
Very flattering cut for those wanting to be modest, yet attractive in ... skorts. The ... legnth is neither too high, or too low. I would order this item again. I researched many swimwear catalogs, and found that Atheta is the only one to offer this type of item in a shade of brown. Thanks Athleta!
Another great purchase!
When it comes to swimwear, I find I always have to get a medium bottom, but in this case, I found it was too large, overall, and had to exchange it for a small. The small fit perfectly and it's so cute an versative. I bought it in black and can wear it with a variety of my other bathing suit tops -- it goes well with everything. It allows a little extra coverage than a standard bikini bottom and is very comfortable.
This suit is the bomb!!!
I am a bit older and I needed a swimsuit with a bit more coverage. This ... bottom is PERFECT. It fits flat across the tummy and the length is just right, too. At 11", it is a bit longer than other skirted suits I have tried..(10") and that one inch makes a world of difference in my comfort zone. I plan to ... recreational park every day this summer, and I will feel perfectly covered in this suit. I bought a medium and it is perfect for a size 10-12.
Perfect coverage/not frumpy
I absolutely love this skirted bottom! I'm 45 so I like a little coverage for my bottom but dislike many skirted bottoms that are either too long, ill fitting, or just plain too frumpy looking! This bottom is shorter than most (11 in) but on my 5'8" and 127lb frame, it looks great. May be a little short if you're wanting to cover bigger thighs. The waist is slightly shirred so it has a slimming effect and the ... has just the right amount of fabric. I'm usually a size 4 bottom and thought a small would fit well but I took my measurements and followed the size chart on the website and the extra small fits perfect! I got the scrunch bikini top to match and it looks really nice in asphalt! Great value for the quality and fit!
Great Purchase!
I love this ... bottom. It was just the right length. Fit true to size as I hoped based on the previous reviews. Very comfortable. Love the split front. Received compliments on the skirted bottom. The wide band at the top was just what I was looking for. Worth every dollar!
Love it!
This is the second suit that I have ordered from Athleta and just LOVE it. I am a 5'0 fit 48-year old and I initially ordered this suit in a medium based on other reviews that it ran small -- and I had to return it to order a small which is just perfect. I have two tops that go with the skirted bottom -- the brown matching one and the coral colored. It's all just perfect. I am usually one who must try on suits in a store but I am delighted with the Athleta online experience -- I'm a convert!! Thanks!
Great Fit and great for my ego
Love this ... am a classic pear shape (size 4 on top and size 6 on the bottom). So, I usually have to buy separates in swimwear so I can get different sizes AND whenever I buy ... bottoms and other pants that are sized S, M L, that need to fit the "hip" area, I always buy a Medium just to be sure they will fit nicely (not too tight). Well, after reading many reviews on this ... VERY hesitantly ordered a Size Small hoping that I wouldn't have to return it for a Medium (and being concerned that a Medium wouldn't be right either because of my 23" waist!) I was VERY HAPPY when I tried this swimskirt on and it fit almost perfectly! The only thing is that I can see a little of the panty line ... but I'm sure once I tone up some more, that issue will be resolvedI I also wish Athleta prices were a little more affordable ... I would surely order more items. I will definitely be a return customer, though!
great ... bottom option for "mature women"
I'm closing in on 50, and have had to reevaluate my choices in swimwear. Up until now, I've always felt comfortable in 2 piece suits, but reality hits, and I wanted to find a suit that was more age appropriate without being "matronly". These bottoms are perfect. They provide nice coverage over the backside and upper thigh areas! Great fit, flattering and sporty. I usually wear a size 4/6. Smalls fit good.
Just what I need!
Thanks to everyone who submitted reviews and helped me order the right size on the first try. I NEVER order swimwear online and was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Sporty Shirred ... size small and the fit is great. I am 5'5" and weigh 118-120 and the small is perfect! I'm typically a size 4-6 (size 4 in Old Navy pants). I would love a little longer ... but the fit is very flattering.
This skirted bottom is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. It covers enough but not too much, and I'll be more comfortable poolside in Vegas wearing this than I would in regular bikini bottoms. They sit a little higher than I would normally like, and maybe are a tad big (I'm 5'5", 125 lbs with most of that in my hips, and I ordered a small) but I'll keep them. I bought the matching rouched tankini, and might be back for a regular bikini top too. Not sure how I feel about my tummy yet.
