My experience with Sheridyn Fisher Swimwear

Hi lovelies! Today I wanted to talk about my latest purchase from Sheridyn Fisher Swimwear. This is a swimwear line that I discovered through Instagram because it is designed by an Australian model Sheridyn Fisher, but had not heard a whole lot about other than that. 

The swimwear is very affordable compared to my usual Seafolly but the problem that I came across when I was deciding whether to purchase these swimsuits was that there were no online reviews or ratings about the company or their service. I felt that I was shopping in the dark because I am so accustomed to seeing hundreds of reviews on beauty products but when it comes to fashion, it is much harder to find reviews. That's basically the motivation behind today's blog post - as your trusted local blogger, I felt that the internet needed an honest review about this company and their products and hopefully it can help some girl out there make an informed decision in the future.

I decided to purchase the 'Angel' bikini set from the Sheridyn Swim website because it was on sale for only $39.90 for the set! They originally sold for $89.90 so I thought that it was a bargain that I just could not pass! As can be seen from the above pictures, I got the brown coloured set from the Metallics range.

It is really hard to buy clothing online, especially swimwear, so I emailed Sheridyn Swim in order to get guidance on sizing and also because there wasn't any sizing information on the website. The representative from Sheridyn Swim was super friendly and helpful and emailed me back with answers to my questions the next day.

The sizing information I received has been copied below:

These bikinis are great quality especially considering the price. The top is fully lined and offers fantastic support and provides a sexy push up. It has removable padding and under-wire support which is a must for us larger girls.

The bottoms are also fully lined so there is no chance of them going see-through when wet and they provide medium coverage at the back. I like the fact that they are proper bottoms and the tie up bits on the side are for decoration only - there is no need to worry about them getting loose.

I'm usually a 10E on the top so I purchased the size 12 top and small bottoms. The cup size of the top is slightly too small but still provides coverage when the padding is removed. The small bottoms are perfect as I am usually a size 10. I think that next time, I will probably get a size 14 top because I now know that it will be the perfect cup size. If I get the larger top though, I will have to adjust the under-bust because it will be too big for me around the rib cage, whereas the 12 is a perfect fit.

Even though there wasn't any reviews on the internet (that I could find anyways!) about the service this company would provide and the quality of their swimwear, I am glad that I took the risk and made a purchase. It was the fact that they accept Paypal that helped make up my mind because I knew that my payment information would be protected when purchasing from an unknown source.

These bikinis are fantastic quality and the service I received from Sheridyn Swim was second to none. As soon as I paid for my order, I received a confirmation from them. Around four to five days later my order arrived at my doorstep in a pink packaging. I feel like Christmas has come every time I receive an online order!

Anyways, if you have been thinking about purchasing from the Sheridyn Swim website and have been hesitant because of the lack of reviews on the internet, then I hope that this review helps you make an informed decision about whether you want to purchase from that website. I love the fact that the bathers are so well priced, even when they are not on sale, so I will definitely be making another order sometime in the near future especially since summer is just around the corner!

Have you ever taken the risk with an online store that you didn't know much about? I would love to hear about your experiences.

    I'm so glad you did a blog post on this swimwear! I'm exactly the same as you usually I buy Seafolly because I'm a 10E I find it the best in regards to coverage and support. It's good to know that the sizing is adequate with this range especially because it is so affordable compared to Seafolly! I think I'll go with the size 14 and just adjust around the ribs like you said - I always have such trouble with that haha. Yay so excited :)

    Yay finally a review on her bikinis! (Also I'm sorry if I leave you a bunch of comments, I just love your posts!)
    Do you find the halter neck gives you a headache?
    I bought a bikini off ASOS that was a halter neck and the aches I got in my shoulders gave me a huge headache!
    I was thinking about the super high waisted bikini bottoms for ages and this post encouraged me to finally get them!!
    Well I got the kylie set and the kara set I think.
    Would you buy another set of this brand or not?
    Would love to hear what other swimwear brands you love!
    Thanks again for the review :)
