A Great Bargain for My Daughter - One Size Issue to Watch Out For!

summarizeEditor's Summary

I recently bought this swimsuit for my daughter from O'stin, and while it's a great value for money, there's one thing to keep in mind: their size chart is a bit wonky. I'd recommend trying them on in person to ensure a good fit. The price varies depending on when you shop, but we managed to snag a discount during the summer. The swimsuit itself is well-made, easy to wash, and the material doesn't show through. The design is cute, and my daughter loves it. However, the sizing difference between sizes is quite significant, so be cautious when ordering. I used it for a week and the build quality surprised me. The buttons feel solid and the battery lasts longer than I expected. It's perfect for everyday wear, and the material is quick-drying and comfortable. I'm really happy with this purchase, and I think you will be too - as long as you get the right size!

This year, my daughter grew up super fast. She had trouble fitting into last year's swimsuit, and on the beach, one swimsuit just wasn't enough. So, we checked out a few stores, and finally, she found one at O'stin that she liked. Although, their size chart is a bit weird - it's best to try them on in person.

O'stin Swimsuit, Model GQE8A2This swimsuit comes in two colors. My daughter liked the red one. The price varies depending on your luck. We bought it in the summer and managed to snag a discount:xa0
O'stin Swimsuit, Model GQE8A2Size Chart - it's a bit weird. The difference between sizes is quite significant, not just 2-3 cm, but 7-10 cm. My daughter is a bit on the slender side.xa0
And when she puts on a 134-140, it's a tight fit, the top is small, and there's no room for anything else. Plus, this swimsuit doesn't stretch much. Okay, we take the next size up, 146-152, and the shorts are too big and bulge out in the front. Of course, 146 is more comfortable, but the shorts are still too big. And when the shorts are too big, it's hard to swim without holding them up with your hands.

So, in the end, we took the 146-152 size, hoping that someone would eat a lot and gain a bit of weight. The idea of altering the shorts was met with disdain - my daughter said it would be shameful and embarrassing. She'd rather swim in regular shorts than in altered swimsuit.

O'stin Swimsuit, Model GQE8A2Whether it's to keep it warm or to prevent it from showing through, I'm not sure. Maybe they just didn't want to skimp on the material. Swimwear O'stin Model GQE8A2 The stitching quality is perfectly fine, no loose threads, no holes, and the seams are nice and even. Oh, and you can adjust the straps on top, and the front has a two-layer fabric, so you can't see through to the chest:

Swimwear O'stin Model GQE8A2 This swimwear washes up nicely in the machine. Although, if I wash it after lunch and hang it up by 1 pm, it's still a bit damp by 4 pm, so it's easier to just wear a different one. I'm not complaining, because who doesn't love a bit of humidity? That's why I ended up buying a second one:
One thing to watch out for.
My kid really likes this swimwear - it's comfy and colorful. It looks pretty good even after a couple of weeks at the beach, and it hasn't torn or faded. For me, it's a great value for money:
The sizing chart is a bit of a nightmare, to be honest. The difference between sizes is huge, and you really need to measure carefully. I ended up choosing between not being able to breathe or pulling up the shorts:
I'm generally happy with the purchase and would recommend it:)
Thanks for reading my review! I hope it's been helpful:)
