Anyone try Venus bathing suits?

I randomly got a catalog, and there's a tankini that I really like in there. Any reviews on quality? How did the sizing run? 

 

 

Thanks!

    On our honeymoon our luggage got lost for FOUR days and there was another woman I kind of befriended because she was always on all of our flights to get down to the island. Anyways, she was so sweet to lend me her bathing suit because she overpacked and thank God because for 4 days I wore it and it was a Venus. It was a bikini but it was very true to size and the beading was very sturdy and the liner was thick enough that I didn't feel overexposed. I've only had the one experience with the brand but I liked it.

    When i was in college I ordered from there and I really really liked the suit I got. But that was over 10 years ago so I can't speak to the quality now.  

    At the time, I liked that they were inexpensive and skimpy  :)

    I got a Venus bikini last year. The quality was good, but I ordered a 32DD (my bra size) and though the cups fit, the clasp in the back was way too big. I sent it back and ordered a 32D in hopes the back would be tighter, but it was still too big. That's my only gripe! That shouldn't be a problem with a tankini though

    Same. Used to buy from there like 15 years ago. Liked that they had DDD sizes and you could create your own bikini with mix n match tops and bottoms.

    I've ordered a couple of dresses from them recently and the ones that were in stock came very quickly.  I haven't ordered swimwear yet, but I have a $50 gift card to use soon.  I've been happy with their CS and shipping though.
