Malibu Strings metallic purple scrunch bikini

 

The stunning metallic purple Malibu Strings swim suit is my absolute faorie swim suit ever!  It's so unique and well fitting on my petite frame.

Malibu String's suits are unique and funky and bold and while there's tons of gorgeous prints, styles and cuts to choose from, this specific one is certainly not for someone who's looking to blend in. It's bright. It's bold. It's sexy and it stands out. Just the kind of suit I love!

I have a love for swim wear, but it's hard to find a suit that flatters my figure and even harder to find one that fits my crazy style. I seen a metallic purple colored swim suit about 7 years ago on vacation and have searched my booty off to find one and only recently did I come across one of that color and I could've cried I was so happy! (I really wanted this swim suit!) 

I'm sure many of you ladies have heard the saying shiny fabrics make draw attention to your middle and are always unflattering. I beg to differ. I personally couldn't love this Malibu Strings bikini more. 

With the "scrunch back" bottoms, these are a cheeky fit. When I say cheeky, I mean they show quite a bit of cheek. They cover a good amount for someone like me with such a tiny be-hiney, but they do show some cheek. I love the scrunch back because I have such a small booty and narrow hips which makes it hard to get a swim suit bottom to fit well without sagging. The suit fit absolutely wonderfully! 

The purple string bikini ties at both hips and has plenty of room for adjusting for the best fit. It's not tiny, but it rides low on the hips. It can be pulled up higher on the hips at the sides, but I like it to fall right at my hip bones.

The bikini top has little coverage and while the triangle cups are adjustable, they only cover so much. The top has no extra support like underwire and it is not padded at all. I love everything about the swim suit, but if you absolutely must have padding you can easily sew some on the back side of the cups. 

The top ties both behind the neck, halter style and around the back. To adjust for a wider coverage the cups can be pulled to widen. To make a narrow fit, less coverage you simply scrunch them. This is no different from a regular string bikini's adjusting, only with less coverage and far better looking! 

The top has narrow cups as it is for less coverage so a medium was good for me, I usually wear a small or medium top. The medium top will cover an A-B size, but probably not a C or higher. 

Suit's Hardware:

To add to the beauty of this suit, there's 2 tiny metal circles below right at the top of the triangle cups. Most of Malibu Strings swimwear have little metal hardware on them. I think it's lovely!

 

The purple metallic swimsuit is made of a comfortable material that has so far held up nicely. I don't see it getting those cracks in it like some made of this material. I'm not exactly sure what the material is, but it seems to be a lame/spandex material.

Swimwear should be handwashed for keeping in it's best shape. Washing in the washing machine should be avoided and I would not put this swim suit in the machine. I hand wash mine and it's worked out fine. Do not dry, iron or bleach! To dry, let it hang out to air dry. A good place for drying your suits is in the shower. I hang mine from my soap and shampoo holder/basket thingy.
