The material is so buttery soft — it's Frankies' SoftSwim fabric and it feels exactly like that, smooth and comfortable against your skin instead of that stiff, cheap swimsuit feel. The stitching is what really impressed me though. It's so clean. Honestly, a lot of the bikinis I buy start falling apart at the seams after just a few washes, and these feel like they're actually built to hold up. That alone makes them worth it to me. I'll admit I have a weak spot for swimwear, so I've definitely spent more on bikinis than I'd like to admit. Compared to brands like {{brand:cmnmlbpqy0001z73k4t6lygmq:triangl:Triangl:https://rboswtyebklbtshl.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/brands/cmnmlbpqy0001z73k4t6lygmq/instagram-eV9hBq3M543gMKqNIV0sIbTSpIrDdn.jpg}} or Emrata's line, the quality you're getting here is genuinely worth what you're paying — maybe more. My one little wish is that they made an XXS. They don't go smaller than XS, and on me the bottoms sit a bit higher rise because they run just slightly large. But here's the funny thing — for this particular cut, I actually love the higher rise. It ends up being really flattering in this style. (For other cuts I'd probably still want to size down, but for the Tia it just works.) The ruched detail and the little adjustable side ties are a cute touch too, and the skimpy coverage is exactly what you'd expect from this silhouette. A solid buy.
