from 721 reviewsI haven't had a new swimsuit [that fits!] in a very long time, so was excited to see that you had a swim skirt in my size, and jumped at the chance to try out Nettle's Tale after first hearing about your launch from a friend longer ago than I'd like to admit.
Unlike other companies, the product description was accurate!

Size matches measurements, check.
High waist that wasn't too loose or too tight, check.
Comfortable brief, check.
Well-constructed... Wow. I really did not expect such sturdy fabric, let alone how well it was put together!
I happily went swimming---swimming! not just paddling my feet---for the first time in about 25 years. Thank you! You've helped this aging Water Baby regain confidence in one of her true joys.
So many compliments!
I love everything about this top… the fit, style, pattern. It is just the best. I ordered the cow print in size medium and my bust is 36-37. I may have been able to size down for a more compressive fit but I love how comfortable it is. Pairs perfectly with the high rise magic bottoms😊.
I got 2 pairs and they are perfect. The sizing is accurate and they are very comfortable and flattering. Recommend!
Love it!
This is a fantastic bra! I’ve been desperately needing a racerback bralette, something with no wire, that didn’t have too much fabric for hot days.
Even though I wear a D cup, with the shape of my chest, I don’t fill the cup so there’s some extra fabric at the bottom for me (its not actually a problem, but I’m thinking I might sew down the little flap of extra fabric to make the bra less deep) BUT I have a wide-set chest and find many bralettes don’t have enough side coverage. I love the width of the sides and back band is . It’s supportive, comfortable, and doesn’t dig anywhere.
The cress green is also gorgeous! I’d totally buy another in a nude colour for lighter tops (although it sounds like you might be remaking this bra with an even deeper cup so maybe I buy the black in this version!)
These pants are so cute, I get lots of compliments and they go with everything! And they have so much airflow, they feel like a skirt but no thigh chaffing!
I have a very long torso, so usually something that is "high waisted" barely reaches my belly button, so I was SO excited to see these super high waisted bottoms. I also love that they are "cheeky" because I don't always want full coverage just because I'm a larger lady! These are so comfortable. Snug enough to not slide down or look saggy, but the waistband doesn't dig in. I will definitely be buying more pairs!
This dress does all the things I want. The fabric is aloof enough that I don't feel the need to put on a bra, but shaped enough I don't feel like I am wearing a paper bag. It is simple, but the shoulder knots and 'sea witch' green colour keep it interesting. It is my favourite thing to wear when there is a coffee in my hand.
Purchased the emerald option while in Vancouver on vacation. Beautiful colour, comfortable, and pockets! Great length for a skirt as it can be dressed up or worn more casually. Love the material and recommend this shop!
Such a comfortable and flattering bikini top in such a good colour! I love that the straps are adjustable as well as the clasp on the back like a regular bra to better fit your specific measurements. The material is good quality and thick enough to not announce your nipples too much and to provide support for smaller boobs.
I got the bell floral with black and the print is so cute! The fit is amazing and very flattering, I love how it doesn't cut up too high on the sides. It also works like a cute top if you pull on some shorts or a skirt over the bottom. I used to hate pulling on a bathing suit but now I'm looking for excuses to wear this!
A vast improvement over my previous swim shorts! They're so comfy, they don't ride up, the material feels durable (my last pair died because the fabric wore away), and I like that they had different color and inseam length options. Also cannot say enough about the size ranges - which is the reason I went there. I literally walked into the store, said what I needed, and the lovely workers had my shorts in my hands in under 30 seconds. It was the most painless swimsuit shopping experience I have ever had. Highly recommend.
Super high quality and very flattering. Best bather ever! Lots of coverage and fits perfectly
Comfy, stay in place, good amount of coverage. These are perfect for family swim times and running around after my young kids.
