Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in a polka-dot version).
Promising review: "I love this set! Fits well, the straps don't dig into the back of my neck, and the print is super cute. I actually like the bottoms even better than my Target brand ones." —Rebekah A. Wishart
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and eight colors).
Promising review: "I never write Amazon reviews, but I had to write one here because I love this swimsuit! Cute, flattering, and great quality for a really low price! This fit like a glove and was exactly the look I was going for. The colors in the photos are pretty true to life, but they still don't do it justice — all of the ones I ordered were beautiful, rich colors. I loved all seven colors and wanted to keep them all. I finally narrowed it down and ended up keeping the navy one and the green one. I also love that the straps are changeable." —Alex L.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes 0/2–20 and 20 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I bought this suit on a whim, after reading an article on social media, of how much this item was selling on Amazon. Honestly, I haven't found a comfortable, decent looking bathing suit in so many years, and after spending lots of money on expensive brands, I truly didn't expect much from a $25 suit, but, after spending an afternoon reading reviews, I was sold. Also, according to the size chart, I was too big for the available sizes, but thanks to the reviews of the lovely ladies here (thanks!) I figured out a size 16 Plus just might work. I have Prime but, the suit was sent via USPS and it was delayed by a day, which was very inconvenient, as I wanted to wear it to the beach, but, oh well. Anyway, when I finally got it and put it on...WOWZA! absolute perfection! Oh my goodness! The fabric is the right thickness, without discomfort. I bent over and it covers everything, and it looks so stylish! I was a bit concerned the mesh would make it look tacky, but it just looks very classy. DO NOT HESITATE! I will buy it in more colors, it is gorgeous. I can't vouch for longevity, or how it will be after wet, but the hundreds of positive reviews say it all." —alfie fernandez

Promising review: "I've never purchased a swimsuit off of Amazon before because I've always been nervous about their quality, fit and honestly, the legitimacy of the brands/sellers. I made sure to read all of the reviews/look at all of the customer photos and I was STILL hesitant to buy. I pulled the trigger thinking if I didn't like it then it was only ~$20. But wow, I am so glad I took a chance on this bikini. I love the thick and buttery soft material and to my surprise... it fits perfectly! I'll definitely be buying other patterns." —Marc Lopez

It’s so fun to discuss Amazon abroad haha. I must have recommended it to like 25 girls, I swear!! You need this" —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $3.98+ (available in sizes S–2X and 11 patterns).
Promising review: "Just as pictured, it's beautiful! It's SNUG... If you order too large it will be baggy. Once you are in the water this is suit is perfect. There is a built in bra that is PERFECT for someone who is large chested. The built in bra doesn't fold up and the pads don't get flimsy. This suit makes your cleavage look good and feel secure. I used it for boarding and tubing on the lake. It was nice not worrying about losing my bikini top when you wipe out. WORTH EVERY PENNY!" —Destany Jaussaud

Promising review: "This was my first attempt at buying a swimsuit online without trying it on, and I was super nervous...but I LOVE this suit. Finding swimsuits is always a hassle with my bust size (36D), but this keeps the girls covered. No cutting into my skin anywhere. I was so excited to find out that it has a lining, so it's a double layer. Definitely recommend!" —ldkeim

Promising review: "This is probably the fifth time I've bought an Esther Williams swimsuit from ModCloth. I''m obsessed with these swimsuits — they always fit perfectly and are great quality. I love the festive prints they come in, and this one is no different. The gold dots are slightly sparkly, like glitter, and I love it!! The fit is my favorite part, though — if you're a big-breasted lady, y'all know how hard it is to find a supportive bathing suit that doesn't look like it came from the granny rack. This is sexy and sleek and cleavage-enhancing without looking pornographic. I love this suit and will probably buy 50 more (long as they keep makin' them)!" —Tasha

The straps are great if you have a smaller torso like myself because they are adjustable. The back is a sexy cut but your whole rear isn't out. MY BOYFRIEND LOVED IT. LOL!!
