ELLIE (Olive) Ribbed Top

I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH! When I say I’ve spent time trying to alter the tops to decrease the gap and my concave chest. I truly see the amount of thought and effort LOU have put into the product. Starting off with the design.
With somewhat broad shoulders and a ribcage that protrudes as much as my chest, I often struggle to find tops that flatter my figure. However, this product, with its thick straps and attention-grabbing knot in the middle, doesn’t draw attention to the size of my chest but rather flatters my unique body shape.
OKAY, but when I tell you, this top is so flippin’ cute! The olive colour: the photos posted MATCHES the product. I finally have found the colour that suits my warm tone complexion, and you know it will suit me no matter what shade I’ll be at. The knot: does not look like a big ol’ unit on the chest, it doesn’t look like it bulges out more than my tits. THANK GOODNESS. Further, giving that round shape to your breasts, too, because it’s not like a bandeau straight line thing across your chest.
Now, moving on to quality.
This top is so secure that it stays put during movement instead of sliding up because the band is secure *internally screaming*. I tested this out by dancing hardcore and even trying to do cartwheels. The clasp *gasps* I had to use strength to budge it. That gold buckle is a new standard I’ve set for quality. The material has such a soft touch and does not feel cheap. The inside fabric feels like the silky feeling of LuLuLemon leggings, and the outer material feels like the textured version. Felt like a material out of my budget. I honestly cannot believe this was made from recycled materials. I am bamboozled. I love how this bikini top hugs my chest and naturally plumps the breasts, no matter the size. It’s the swimwear version of BOOMBA; the padding does not look obvious. Rather, it naturally blends into the curvature of your body with no gosh dang flippin’ gaps!
Sentimental note: being aware of how small my chest ‘is’ an insecurity of mine, but now I’m learning how to accept myself for the way that I am. This brand is for sure a contribution to say that I ‘WAS’ insecure about my chest. If you see this Lou, thank you for creating this line and preaching what this stands for.
Apologies for the informal review, but I’m talking with my chest! XO
