"Its okay, but could be better. I bought this a size smaller than what the size chart recommended, and I’m glad I did because this top would genuinely be unwearable had I purchased the 2XL the size chart recommended. The triangles on this bikini top are just flat pieces of fabric on a string, and they’re huge. The nocturne bikini top triangles have a bit of shape to them that you can clearly tell “hey, this is boob shaped. A boob goes here”. That is not the case with the Dark Wave top. The triangles are just flat. This unfortunate design flaw causes an uncomfortable amount of gapping along the sides and front of the bathing suit top. Its wearable, but I would be risking a major wardrobe malfunction every single time. The cut of this top could definitely be improved."

Reviews
Great material and construction
"I think this bikini is very sexy, but I wish the top was less full coverage."
Love it, but recommend sizing down
"Love this but if you are part of the itty bitty titty comity, I recommend sizing down. I'm 5'7", 34B with broad shoulders. Normally I buy mediums, but the medium looked too big and was a bit loose on the sides unless I tied it really tight. Ended up getting an XS to try and that fits / looks much better. I think a small would have worked better for me as well, but I like the tinier look."
"Fits really well. Might be the comfiest swim suit I've ever worn"
Big Mad =[ cuz EVERY launch needs Spicy edition
"I absolutely love this Bikini! I mean honestly, All of their swimsuits are so cute I wear them as outfits on the regular. But this one is not only affordable, but I promise - If you invest in this for yourself others will once you invest in you! Now mind you, I have purchased 2. 5 of these sets already. Especially after I put the first one through the ringer! Haha, years, it was definitely played in to the max. I got a second one after the bottoms started to shift after snorkling and jumping in cenotes, and just started to fringe a bit after several trips to the water park. Of course, my partner had fun, with it as well! Here's the thing with this swim suit, sure it's a thong back but OMFGGGG - Do I love that, and the underboob. Honestly, I loved pairing it under ALL of the Spinzerette(aka mesh spiderweb) garmets. It's so comfy, I feel sexy but not cheap - like own it baby! Nothing wrong with showing a little cheek we all got some! The human body is a work of art, but this + chefs kiss. I'm now contemplating my 3rd purchase of it, bc I am So scared they'll discontinue. Because, Honestly- with how little that appears in this swimsuit, it is DURABLE! Not to mention it adjusts, literally everywhere. I am probably gonna buy a 3rd after posting this because I'm so scared y'all are gonna snatch it up but seriously! Not only is it sexy, it's also super comfortable! I have worn it to bed, to concerts, and even as underwear 🤭 I literally love this Bikini, it's my all time favorite. Everyone should own, even if it's as lingerie! But if your worried about a little cheek out at the beach, tell people to relax. Never understood why showing a tad more booty is seen as inappropriate. I Mean everyone has a butt and it shows at the beach! Nobody bats an eye when someone has a bunch of chesticles hanging out - I mean, I might be but I promise it's only a wink! I don't care who you are, what size you wear or don't wear. The amount of cheek or chesticles showing does not determine Anyone's integrity or character! So, hop on this deal before I quite literally buy them All and get in touch with you're inner goddessness! We are all masterpieces! That is why I love forest Ink, I love seeing ALL the representation! And for all of my fellow Forest Stans - can we plan a Forest Ink Pop Up improtu photo shoot sometime!? I mean it, any baddie that shops here I already know is an absolute vibe. But the way my measurements are: 5'6" 140lbs Bust: 36" Under bust 30" Waist: 26. 5" Hips: 37" I wear both a size XS and S in Forest Ink. I'm normally a solid Medium in the day walker realm, but F. Ink is always gassing me up, making me feel all cute and small 🤭:hands_heart|type_3: teehee! Btw, I've been a customer of F. Ink since 2022/23 - A sub Box and I love the material. I have sensitivity issues, and appreciate that they take the time to put consideration into the fabric, durability AND the quality in detail. Only thing I have to say to Forest Ink is, please pleaaasseee A. ) Make More swim suits just like this(bring back the red, or better yet can we get some Black and Green 😍 And lastly, Forest Ink - Please, whatever you do - don't ever launch a cyberpunk theme, tech wear skirts pants and cute suspenders chains, with the cute crop hoodies, body and thigh harnesses, with arm covers and footless leg covers 😍:hands_heart|type_3: with all the circuit board and mechanics --+ Because I'll literally end up taking a second mortgage on my house, and buy it ALL up - Unless you do techwear Neo Future Cyber Goth wrong with pinks and purple - Pops of Neon Green, Orange, Yellow - Nd if pink just a tiny splash and only for black light parties. Otherwise, keep it industrial and yep 😂 you'll own my house! If anyone has any questions about garmet or wanna do some trades s feel free to hmu I buy double sometimes triple of everything! I'm here to spread and share the Forest Ink Love xo @ Spinzerella Ps: Seriously hmu let's do a Forest Ink Group photo - how about Labor Day, Chicago! I'll set up the photogs if Anyone wants to join showing their love! That's my handle above on all platforms, feel free to reach out!"
Oversized top
"I enjoyed the bottoms I got but the top I got was a S and it was way too big for me DEFINITELY SIZE DOWN"
Cute but big
"I am a 34 D and the small is large enough for full coverage and then some- there’s even some extra fabric sticking out from the sides. I’m exchanging for a XS and hoping it fits well! Usually with a D i have to get a medium so I’m scratching my head a little here, lol."
"The top looks cute, but just not a great fit. I did not like the way the material felt."
"Nice but size up double if you have large breast"
Hard to tie arrived with a hole
"Arrived with a hole. It was along the netting seam so I just stitched it back down rather than hassle with an exchange. But ya'll emailed asking for a review"
