Customer Reviews Carve Designs Stinson Bikini Top

I like bikini tops that lay flat underneath rashguards and this one works well while being really comfortable and flattering. The racerback style always stays in place so that you can actually using it for swimming and water sports (as opposed to just lounging). The material is a little thinner than some tops that I own but the top has soft cups for coverage and support.

I am going on a cruise to Mexico and wanted a new bathing suit. I never dreamed that shopping for a bathing suit could be fun but Zappos made it fun and incredibly easy. I wanted a bikini top that was cute but could handle any kind of swimming. The color I got was the dragonfly hibiscus, which is pictured as a dark teal color but it is actually more like the design on the Rodeo Reversible Bottom in the dragonfly hibiscus color, which I have as well. I got an XL and I normally wear a size 16 in Women's clothing and a 36C bra.

I love this top. It is very comfortable and covers me up perfectly. The quality is amazing.

I love this bathing suit. It is sporty yet flattering. The pattern is very bohemian chic. It has thin pads in the top that actually stay in place during water activities. I hope Carve comes out with some more designs next year.

This print looks black and white in the photo, but is actually navy & white. I'm returning it because of the color, and I wanted something a bit more supportive. The fit was as described. I'm 5'2 and wear a 34C bra, and the small fit well.

I haven't worn this in the water yet, but I love the way it feels on! I am a 30C and the x-small fits perfectly. It looks kind of like a sports bra and seems like it will provide ample coverage and support!

Cute and comfortable. This is a great swim top. It is cute but also functional. I can swim in it and not worry about coverage. It stays in place.

I love this top. I wear a 38C, and the XL fits great. It stays in place, has thin enough straps to not be matronly, but enough coverage that I can wear it out with the kids and not think that I am going to fall out of it. It is very comfortable, too. I can wear it all day wear, with no need to tug and shift.

I love the Carve Design Catalina and St. Barth bottoms so I decided to try the Catalina swim top. I'm a 32B/C and the small fit pretty well, but it wasn't the most flattering top I've tried on. The elastic didn't have a lot of give to it, so it was hard to put on. (I like a top with a stretchy elastic- so that it has enough give to put it over your head, yet it is still secure enough to stay in place.)

Fits great, I'm a 34A and have trouble with tops that gape, the has just enough padding to add a little shape without feeling too big or bulky, and the fit allows me to bend over and move without flashing anyone.

I have this top in two patterns and I live in them. They are my go to tops for surfing, especially when there is size and I am likely to get tossed around a lot. I have it in extra small and I am a 32B-C and it is a great fit for me.

This is my go-to top for surfing and active days in the water. Love the y-back, which doesn't pull on my neck or shoulders. This top stays put, and it's really comfortable and easy to wear all day.

I love this top for long swims at the beach, the full coverage and support mean you can hit the waves with no worries!

I bought this style of bikini top specifically to cover up scarring on my back as recommended by my doctor. When I first got this in the mail I was thrilled. It met all of practical and stylish needs. However, by the end of this summer (about 2 months) I regretted spending so much money on this top. The straps are completely stretched out and do not cover my scarring (which was the whole point) or my chest. When I would jump in and out of the water I would find myself giving everyone around me a peep show! If you're looking for a top that is stylish in the moment, then I would recommend this top, but if you want to spend good money on something that lasts, I would definitely look elsewhere. Waste of money.

I find this top to be quite comfortable. I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder so wearing it for extended periods can be uncomfortable due to the thinner straps. However, it is smooth under a rash guard. They didn’t have the matching bottoms so I ended up getting a different pattern. The bottoms are great as well!!

Super comfy and good support.

super cute and functional. true to size. very comfy and flattering. will be reaching for this over other tops I've got.

The fit is great and flattering; it provides just enough support. I love the color!

Love this swimsuit top! Beautiful color, well made, and very comfortable. I wear a size 2 in most clothes. Ordered a size small in this and it fits perfectly. It would not fit a large chested girl well tho.

The swim skirt is absolutely perfect! I love it. I want one in every color. The white palms color is very vacay-ish. It is cute and sexy at the same time. I am a size 2 but 50 yrs old and really don't want to flaunt it. This is just the perfect swim wear! Thank you.

Awesome design that doesn't pull at all. Very flattering.

Great fit

Very pleased with this purchase as I was looking for a flattering bikini style without fussy tiedowns. I did have to size up to find the right fit. I'm normally a 34B in Victoria's Secret, and an XS/S in clothing, but had to get this in an M. I still don't quite understand the point of removable cups. To me they are just another piece to fuss with in the wash, but people seem to find this a plus. Carve Designs' styles are a bit on the traditional side, not as trendy as fashion brands, but more of an evergreen look. Good quality.

I was skeptical of how flattering this top would be and, boy, was I wrong. Incredibly cozy, great support and fits better than any swimsuit I've ever worn in my 26 years on earth!!! I have smaller breasts but muscular shoulders and a broad back and nothing else has ever worked well. 34B/C and I ordered a small, which was spot on.

Love this top. It stays put and is very comfortable.
