Black Gingham High-Waist Bottom

I bought these along with the matching knotted crop top and I'm in love. I purchased a size small and medium and ultimately went with the small.

I purchased this with the matching knotted crop top and the Blossoms Rash Guard. I love all three pieces and can't wait for some warmer weather to try them out. The top ric rac portion had a bit of fraying where the two ends met but it doesn't affect the structure of the suit or really even the look. Great buy!

I bought these at the end of the summer, so haven't had a chance to officially wear them out and about yet, but: from just trying them on, I LOVE the pattern and how they flatter my figure! I used LimeRicki's size chart and at first thought I would need a Medium (usually how it is in department stores for me). But they're true-to-size-chart too: the medium ended up being a little too big, so I *seamlessly* exchanged them for a Small, thanks to LimeRicki's quick and easy exchange policy! Definitely excited to debut them next summer & discover what more LR has to offer!

I do like these bottoms for the cute pattern and overall fit. Because my tummy is not quite flat, I think that a wider band at the top would be helpful for avoiding the pooch look that i feel I have with these. Also, the rick rack ribbon on the top edge can be uncomfortable, cutting a bit into my skin and leaving a red mark. But being that finding good tankini pieces are hard to find these days, I am keeping them, just will not choose these particular ones for longer days when I cant change out of them to calm the irritation on my belly.

Love the fit and look of these swim bottoms, but after one wash on a gentle cycle and air drying, they are coming unraveled at the top seams. Very disappointing since it was not a cheap bathing suit.
