Poppi Swim
I rarely order clothes online because I haven't had good luck with fit, but my Poppi Swim swimsuit arrived on Thursday and it fits perfectly. I found out about Poppi through Rozanne. She recently bought a Poppi suit, too, and when I told her how much I loved mine and thanked her for the referral, she wrote back about her suit:
"Not only is it cute and flattering--it's comfortable and it fits perfectly. No binding or irritating scratchiness like most suits. And the workmanship (workwomanship, no doubt) is top quality."
I couldn't agree more! No tugging here to make it less ill-fitting there. It just fits. And if you're in or near the Portland, Oregon metro area, for a small fitting fee, owner/designer Pamela Levenson can make you a custom suit. I chose the Retro Halter suit, but there are plenty of one- and two-piece suits to choose from. She's making unique, one-of-a-kind swimsuits with a retro feel in fabulous fabrics. If you're in the market for a new swimsuit this summer, please check out her line.
I know this probably sounds like some sort of paid endorsement, but it's not. I'm just thrilled to have found a swimsuit vendor that truly delivers--in every sense of the word. Pamela couldn't have been more accommodating.
Poppi Swim is my entry this week for Favorite Things Saturday. That's because my Poppi swimsuit might just be my favorite swimsuit of all time!






This is EXACTLY the kind of bathing suit I have been looking for! Thank you for posting this!

Those are some seriously cute swimsuits! I love that retro look & I think I need the boyleg cut nowadays. Thanks for the link!

That is a very cute swimsuit; I was looking around for one a couple of weeks ago. (and came home crying) Nothing fits me or looks very good. I may have to check it out--if I'm brave enough.

Awesome! I love that suit..seeing that I just came back from vacation and I really don't need a swimsuit since it's very unlikely I'll be anywhere near a pool the rest of the summer means I've got to get one. LOL Thanks for the link and enjoy that swimsuit.

I absolutely love shopping at Popina. I have been shopping there for the last three years. I have purchased many one piece and two piece suits. I am very happy with all of them. Everyone of them looks absolutely great on me and I always get compliments on them. Pam is always very helpful in getting the right fit.
