Design. I was really pleased with the overall design and cut of this one piece. It has a square neckline and a low back that made me feel sexy without being overtly sexy. In fact, the coverage was so good that I wore this as a suit on a night out with white jeans and strappy heels. Its simple design made it much more versatile than my other “swimming” pieces. I also loved the royal blue (with a capital L). Luckily for me, it was the perfect shade of blue to celebrate the Knicks’ victory in New York.
-
Appropriate. The suit is small and condensed. However, it is too long. I had no problem fitting it as a size 12 with a 36DDD cup. The seams didn’t dig into my skin at all and the straps were thick and strong. I wish there was some bone or a small underwire for extra support. When I wore it as a top, I wasn’t wearing a bra and sometimes had to adjust it.
-
Material. The stretch material is excellent quality for a piece of the same size. It’s durable and holds its color, shape and size even after two washes (although I did hang it to dry). My one concern was that when worn, the material stretched a bit sheer. Nothing was completely visible, but it made me think twice about wearing it without a bra.

Design. This is one of the more unique costumes I’ve tried. The cut was nice and I liked the metal piece on the front. When it comes to swimwear, it can often be boring until you get it right (but more on that later).
-
Appropriate. One of the first things I noticed was how long this material is. This helped clear my doubts about the same product. But, while I really wanted this swimsuit, it just didn’t fit me. Especially the top. The bottom had enough stretch that I felt comfortable in the south, but the band at the top didn’t have as much length, which looked weird on me. I’m a C/D cup size and I felt tighter in the top and it felt unnaturally cut around my chest and back. That is why the gold piece above does not sit straight. It was twisted and hanging crooked, which I hate because it’s so eye-catching. Also, while the straps are removable, they are not adjustable, which is a miss for me. In 2026, I believe all swim straps should be adjustable and dig like these. Overall, I feel like the suit works best for smaller bodies.
-
Material. I really liked the blue elastic material of the suit. It’s insanely long and small when folded, so it’s easy to throw into a suitcase or overnight bag. That said, the suit doesn’t have any compression, so I didn’t feel hugged or flimsy. I wish it had more support here as it helps me feel wider and more secure when hitting the pool or beach.
-
Price. At $70, I have to say I like the price. It’s more of a mid range for swimwear right now as most singlets can easily be under $100 which is crazy to me.

Suitable for: Out of the box, these pieces were tiny and looked like clothes for tiny little stuffed dolls – I’m petite, but I still doubted if these things would actually fit me. The joke was on me, because this is literally the stretchiest material that I have ever encountered. Both top and bottom fit my body perfectly.
-
Cutting: Above gets 10/10 from me. The pullover style is less revealing than a tie-dye bikini top, and the material has a hug-like fit that’s supportive but doesn’t flatter your bust. The same cannot be said for the bottoms. There are very high-cut – like, the bottom types of all girls Island of love wearing clothes that make you wonder how they’re not always paranoid about catastrophic public wardrobe malfunctions. I don’t tend to be shy about showing skin, but this cut felt too much for me. I definitely wouldn’t wear it in front of my family…or anyone else. So I just wore this bikini around my house (in the name of science).
-
Material: The material is wildly stretchy, but it’s not the softest I’ve ever worn. I’m usually sensitive to itchy/scratchy sensations, so after about an hour of wearing it, I was all too aware that the seams (especially at the waist and straps) were rubbing against my skin and had to take it off.
-
Aesthetic: Despite my confusion about the cut, this is a beautiful bikini. I got the blue-green color—a deep, rich turquoise that would look beautiful on any skin tone—and I love the silvery hints of thread, which look stunning in the sunlight. I especially love the U-shaped necklace above with the silver hardware. In another life, I’d probably wear it as a top.

Maintenance. All of these swimwear are machine washable (on low or delicate) and should be hung to dry. They do not recommend drying in the machine.

History focused on women. Etam started as a corset in 1916 and has grown ever since. In the 1960s, they revolutionized the underwear industry by using cotton as a comfortable and lightweight material for women’s underwear. They introduced swimwear to their collection in 1969 and launched an eco-friendly lingerie line as well as a post-mastectomy bra line in 2020.
