Pleated Brushstroke Bandeau Bikini Top

Just snapped up one of these bikinis in the sale. Can't comment on how it fairs in the sun, as the previous reviewer has said, but I really like bandeau tops. Can't be doing with strap lines! Would have preferred a proper fastening at the back instead of a tie, as I can never seem to get it tight enough. As I am lucky enough to take two beach holidays a year, I don't find bikinis last long, so this is a real bargain.

Loved everything about this bikini until I took it on holiday. Only wore it twice and noticed that the white parts of the fabric which had been exposed to the sun had changed colour to cream. The folds in the bikini top had remained white likewise with the bikini bottoms. Unfortunately I had cut out the labels as they were huge so I was unable to return the items to store for a refund. The fit and style I couldn't fault but the fabric has a serious problem in the sun.
