I’m midsize & tried Kim Kardashian’s Skims – the bottoms made me bulge & were NSFW at the front, but my butt looked good
KIM Kardashian’s Skims line has boasted a huge size range of figure-hugging and flattering styles.
One midsize fashion pro shared her experience with the brand.
Alex Beazley is a South Africa-based curve model.
She runs a YouTube channel aptly named, “Life’s a Peach.”
She posted a video sharing her latest Skims haul, where one outfit in particular left little to the imagination.
“This is the shaping swim tank bikini top in gunmetal and then the shaping swim dipped bikini bottom in gunmetal,” she specified in the video.

The top retails for $64 and the bottom retails for $54, both are available in five neutral colors and a generous size range from XXS to 4X.
The first thing Beazley noted was the material of the two piece.
“What is this material? I wish that you could feel through the screen,” she told viewers. “But this is something else. I mean, I thought that it was going to be compressive.”
According to Skims, the fabric is 78 percent polyamide and 22 percent elastane — two materials known for their stretch and compression.

After trying on the bikini, Beazley expressed that she would have sized down, but that did not keep her from appreciating the product.
“It’s still cute,” she said. “I really like the color and I really like the concept.”
She noted a bulge on her hips that she felt was ill-fitting as well as a possible NSFW moment from the front of the bikini bottoms.
“Personally speaking this is just too much bulge for me,” she said. “I don’t feel like necessarily comfortable with it. Not that I think that it looks ugly or anything like that, it’s just a bit too tight.”
“The front, I’m creeping out a little bit,” she added. “But I’m just making sure I won’t because this is a family channel.”
However, the back of the bikini was a different story.

“While we’re speaking about the bottoms, the back looks good,” she raved. “Like there is a definite, definite lift.”
In total, Beazley revealed that she spent 13580.02 South African Rand on her eight-item Skims haul, which equals about $761.36.
