Costa Top

I fell in love with the pattern of this top and so I had to buy it. I'm a petite Small, usually, but with a D chest size, I decided to size up to a Medium and I'm glad I did. It fit great, however the bottom border of the suit kept folding under my chest. Luckily, with some basic sewing, I was able to sew in a silicon lined elastic band to the bottom and it worked wonders. With the added support and grippy band added, I now love this top! I would recommend Geode adding a supporting band under the bust of their suits (for us heavy chested gals!)

The pattern is cute but the fabric is really stiff and scratchy. It doesn’t stretch at all, making it hard to get on and really stiff once it is on. It’s pretty uncomfortable on my skin too, especially the fabric that lines the edges. Was wanting to take it off the whole time I was wearing it

I first tried the myrtle suit and absolutely loved it, it was very stretchy and comfy, I just didn’t feel that shape was very flattering on me. So I exchanged for the costa suit. It is very pretty and well made but I was surprised that the edges were not stretchy. I could barely get it on even though I ordered the same size as the myrtle. Had it fit better I would have kept it, but it’s a beautiful suit!

Gorgeous but not even close to fitting me. I even sized up.

The elastic on the edges of the swimsuit only stretch so far and then stop. The top didn’t even cover my chest, it wasn’t long enough or stretchy enough. If the fabric on the edges of the swimsuit wasn’t stiff it probably would have fit better. It also wasn’t long enough from top to bottom. The no flexibility makes it hard to clip it in the back too
