I wear a 34DD cup – I thought I’d hate a bikini but I actually love it, the top fits well & the bottoms are cheeky
A MIDSIZE woman found a bikini that she unexpectedly loved and is now her favorite style.
Fashion influencer Shelby, who goes by the TikTok handle @shelbstales, shares “affordable fashion finds” as a curvy, size 8 woman.
In one TikTok video, she did a review for a bikini set.
Shelby shared her specs, writing that she’s 5’6” and weighs approximately 155 pounds.
She has 34DD bra cups and typically wears a size 8, so she ordered a size large in her bikini.
She thought she was going to hate the bikini, saying: “This 70s print thing is not really my vibe.”
Shelby was wearing a lilac, yellow, and white swirl print bikini top.
“The colors are actually really flattering,” she then admitted.
The top had a bandeau-like shape with thin straps around the shoulders and back.
The influencer showed how the sides of the chest panel had elastic in them, so the fabric was slightly ruched and created a flattering cut, which she really liked.
When she turned to the back, she showed how the thin straps were adjustable to perfectly fit every body shape.
As she faced the back, she showed off the cut of the bikini bottoms, which was covered by a sheer white sarong skirt for extra modesty.
Clearly not a full-coverage bottom, Shelby said: “The back is on the cheekier side and it’s pretty high cut.”
She overall felt confident in the bikini set, saying the cut also made her midsection look more flattering.
“I feel like it’s really cute and actually pretty flattering,” she reiterated.
“Spoiler alert, it turned out to be one of my favorites,” Shelby wrote in the caption.
She was wearing a bikini from the brand Cupshe, which primarily offers bras.
While the exact style she wore seems to be sold out, there is a similar style still available on the site.
The blue Beach Party Slide Bandeau & Extra Cheeky Hipster Bikini Set retails for only $20.
“I think it’s super cute! It looks great on you!” someone commented, and another added: “Luv luv luv that suit!”
