Victoria Secret Bikini Order with Updated Pictures

I'm thought I'd update this post in case anyone was curious above the fit of the following Victoria Secret bikinis. Overall I found that the tops run slightly large (maybe by half size) and the bottoms to runs true to size.


VS Daisy Push Up Triangle Top. (Wearing above) Size XS. Color Neon Coral/Lavendar Zebra. I love that this top is nicely padded and the color is so vibrant (looks the same in person as it does in the pic). My complaint is that triangles are too far apart for me. I'm might have my mom shorten the band between the cups and then reattach the bow (I did indeed have this done!).

I got the Beach Sexy Low Rise matching bottom (wearing above). Size XS and it fits great.


Beach Sexy® Jeweled Bandeau Top. (Wearing Above) Size XS. I wear a 32B in VS bras and this is almost too wide for me. The halter straps are detachable.

VS Beach Sexy® Low-rise Bottom. (Wearing Above) Size XS. Waist fits great. Coverage for the back is more on the minimal than moderate side --love that!


VS Beach Sexy Sparkle Bandeau and String Bikini. Size XS. I am loving the bottom. The back is so cute and ruching makes your bum look great!Unfortunately I hate the top. It's fits like a saggy diaper. I'm returning that and am hoping the other tops I got will match this bottom. I think this top (in blush color) would be super cute with that bottom above, but unfortunately it is not available until 6/4! I need it before then.

VS Colin Stuart® Double-strap Flip-flop. Size 6. Colors back and gold. Unfortunately the fun colors are not available until 5/29, so I ordered what they had left. I actually have had these before and they are pretty sturdy and comfy. I normally wear a size 5.5 and the size 5 was a bit too small for me.

--------------------

Since I'm kinda unhappy with the last 2 tops, I decided to place another order for more tops. I haven't gotten these yet so not sure what the fit is like. Since the tops are trending big, I decided to size down on these.

VS Forever Sexy Push-Up Bandeau Top. (Wearing above) Leopard Print. Size 32A. I got it because of the push up padding and the hidden under wire cups.

VS Very Sexy Triangle Top. Size 32A. Leopard Print. This one has a center twist detail, molded push-up padding, underwire cups and also ties at neck. I wanted to compared how this and the above.
*Updated - I ended up returning this. It was too much push up and looked like a push up bra.

And while I'm at it, I thought I might as well give this one a try too.

The Miracle Bra® Retro Push-up Triangle Top. Size 32A. Strawberry Leopard. *Update - I ended returning this job too. The padding was overwhelming and just way over the top.

Has anyone else had sucess with VS bikinis? I'd love to hear. Please do share.

    The other day on Hautelook, they had Bettinis, but my a$$ waited too long and the bottoms I wanted sold out. They were so skanky!!! which i loved.

    I haven't ordered anythg from VS, but I saw The Miracle Bra® Retro Push-up Triangle Top in stores and it's hella padded!!! like another boob in there. HAHAHAH.

    any luck w/H&M bikinis? I got the solid purple one.

  3. This post is what I needed. I am going to a beach vacation in 2 weeks and in need of some new bikinis. I haven't had any luck with VS. I might give them another try. Please keep us posted on your new tops.

  4. I agree VS tops run big compared to the bottoms. I have some Beach Sexy and some Very Sexy suits, all XS and I think one bra sized one with molded cups. Those bandeaus are not for anything other than tanning!! (They're wide on me too.)

    I bought a Vix suit recently, IMO they run quite small and might be a good option for other small ladies, but I guess it could just be the suits I tried. I got a medium triangle top, I wear a size 30C for reference.

  5. hi ladies,

    VS swimsuits are always huge on me. You should try some Brazilian brands like Vix, Vitamin A etc... because they run smaller (more expensive though). I got mine at the site below...sometimes they have them on sale on sample sites like rue la la...

  8. Lol! about the saggy top!

    So glad the bottoms worked out for you! Seems like you had a similar problem to me...great fitting bottoms, but large tops.

    I am so excited for your vacation!! Can't wait to see the pictures!
