Bella Tankini, Santorini

Beautiful, Flattering, and Worth Getting the Fit Right

The Santorini Bella Tankini and High-Waisted Swim Skirt are both beautiful, flattering pieces, and after some sizing trial and error, I’m very happy with the final fit. I first ordered both in Medium, but the skirt was slightly too roomy and the tankini straps felt looser than they should have. The Small skirt fit perfectly, while the Small tankini was a little too snug, so I sent the top back for a Medium. Interestingly, the new Medium fit noticeably better than the first, which makes me think the original may have been stretched from someone else trying it on before it reached me. At 5'1" and 126 lbs., the best fit for me was a Small in the skirt and Medium in the tankini. The only drawback was the turnaround time, since the process ran from August 2 to August 25 and required more patience than I would have preferred. Still, once the sizing was sorted out, both pieces were well worth it.

The Santorini pattern is even prettier in person. I first ordered both pieces in a Medium, but they felt a little loose, especially the tankini straps, so I exchanged them for Smalls. For reference, I’m 5'2" and 128 lbs. The skirt was perfect and an easy keeper, while the tankini fit well at the straps but was too snug through the torso, so I’m trying the Medium again. I suspect the first one may have been stretched from prior try-ons, so I’m hoping the replacement gives me a truer fit this time.

Cutest swimsuit!
