Nicoletta | Bandeau Bikini with Gathered Fabric

Ordered this because the print caught my eye and honestly was not sure it would look as good in person. It does. Wore it to lunch with my friend Carol last Thursday and she kept staring at it the whole time trying to figure out if it was expensive. I finally had to tell her where I got it. The fabric is soft and it sits nicely without clinging. Already planning to order a second color.

I have bunions on both feet and most sandals cause pain within an hour. Wore these on a three hour walk through the botanical garden with my husband and grandchildren and my feet felt fine the entire time. Which has not happened in years. My podiatrist asked where I found them. That told me everything I needed to know.

Had been in and out of stores for months looking for a mother of the groom dress. Everything was either too young, too frumpy or just too much money. When I put this on I called my daughter before I even took it off. My son's wedding was last Saturday. I felt elegant the entire day.

Three years of plantar fasciitis and every comfortable shoe I have tried looks exactly like what it is, a medical shoe. These do not. Wore the white pair to run errands last Tuesday and walked further than I have in months without once thinking about my feet. My neighbour stopped me in the parking lot to ask where I got them. I did not have to be embarrassed about the answer.

Ordered one for myself and surprised my sister with the same for her birthday. We wore them to a family lunch last weekend and honestly could not stop laughing. Two women in their sixties matching on purpose! She said it was the best gift I had given her in years.

The fabric feels nothing like what you usually get online. Wore it to my book club last week and two women asked me for the link before I even sat down. I am 66 and I have stopped expecting to feel stylish in anything I order online. This changed that.
