HEATHER TOP [Checkerboard]

I honestly didn't think that I would like this top, but when I tried it in store it was very clear that this was the winner. By the way, if you can, I would highly recommend going to the store to try the swimwear in person - I am not a fan on swimwear stores in general and trying swimwear can be overwhelming, but THIS store is SO GOOD and everybody who works there is SO KIND. Back to the top... it's great - I am tall with a long torso and a mamma belly. Because this top is very adjustable, i was able to fit it in a way that covers up the things I wanted covered while also leaving a little peakaboo at the waistline. I would say it fits small though, if you are looking for additional coverage, I would size up. I am a 36A/B, 31" waist and I went with XL because the extra width and length allowed for that much more adjustment for me. I think an L would have worked too. I love that it's reversible. Sometimes I find reversible swimwear looks a little cheap because you can see the other pattern along the edges, but this top definitely doesn't give off that vibe. It's just the perfect balance of practical, unique and slightly sexy without feeling like it's too much. Way to go, Nettles Tale!

After ordering and wearing the Cyd top, I decided to give the Heather a try. I like the extra coverage at top and some extra fabric on the bottom as well. The top is easy to put on, just takes a little getting used to. The checkers every look good on my size G/H breasts. Go for it!
