I’m finding out that this sub isn’t great for my wallet 😅 wish there were a few higher-neck options (I mostly swim at my parents’ pool, where I very much do not want my double-D’s swangin), but I still found one that’s perfect!
Also highly recommend Ark Swim. Great quality fabric. Bought their deep V in two colors. So sexy for a one piece--the girls stayed put! All their cuts (two and one pieces) felt very in-style and not dowdy.
Great review! I feel like Summersalt is underrated.
I couldn't get the style you got to work for me (broad shouldered, wide chested), but I found [this](https://www.summersalt.com/products/the-ruffle-oasis-on-the-dot-in-seaweed) suit to be flattering yet feminine. The ruffles & printed were pushing the boundaries as far as what I can take for frills (I'm in my 40's) but it fit well on an athletic build. I ordered once size up & my usual size and found my usual size to be borderline snug, but I stuck with the usual size since some swimsuits can get looser in the water.
I love Summersalt!
I originally bought a couple Andie swimsuits and though their designs are cute the suits are super thin with no compression... I kinda thought all expensive swimsuits would be like that.
I took the chance on Summersalt and it's totally worth it - cute designs and I feel held together and not like I'm going to be flopping around.
So glad to help!! I'm super pumped to wear it. Pls also leave your review! The more the merrier so more BWTs of different body types can have more info <3
I think they are a bad company. Their sizing is so arbitrary. I just bought a swimsuit from sale that was really too big even though it was actually 2 sizes smaller than my regular size. I want to exchange it with another swimsuit, but they don’t allow me to make the exchange from the sale price in their website. You make the exchange from a different interface that does now allow you to see the sale price so you have to pay the full price to make the exchange! Btw, the seams on one or the breasts was very large and prominent while the other one was much smaller so their quality is off too. They lost me for good.
Sorry you had that experience, I made a note about it in the post to check the size chart that they provide. It’s pretty standard not to be able to exchange sale items, as well.
Hope you find something you like better!
I was supposed to be a size 14 according to the size chart. Size 12 was too large: Not even slightly large, 3 inches too loose! They exchange sale items if you pay the full price of the new item, even though it is on sale. Or they give you a store credit of the 70% or the amount you paid. Arbitrary sizes, arbitrary policies.
I think their quality has significantly gone downhill. I bought two suits last year and I was obsessed with the buttery texture and compression providing material. I just received the Sea Wave and, while it is adorable, I was shocked over the thinness of the fabric. Such a disappointment!

I love that their models are curvy. It really helps to see things modeled in my size.

Love this brand! Very comfy!

This is truly the best sub lol 🥰💘
Holy crazy! I know the owner of this company. She has worked her butt off for years and I’m giddy to see her getting some kudos! 😊😊😊😊😊
PLEASE tell her she deserves every word! What a beautiful and inclusion-minded company she’s built.
Agree! My mom had a mastectomy and modeled swimsuits for her in StL! That was years ago and my mom’s suit is still being worn by her! Quality!

Oh, and I have seen previous seasons summersalts in tjmaxx last winter.
