I have been secretly coveting the Brighton Beach romper since it came online. There I said it. I’m falling for all the trends this years. First clogs and now rompers. Speaking of clogs…I have something awesome coming in the mail
But it won’t be here until the day before my surgery, so not sure if I’ll have time to share.. And it could be awhile before my head is on straight enough to manage 5 ” heels post-op. God knows I don’t want to fall on my face! LOL
I was so excited to finally spot the Brighton romper at my local Anthro. They did not have a XS so I tried the Small. The fit was a bit big and the halter ties were too long. The shape looked super cute in the dressing room though. When we got home, dh ordered the XS for me online. The XS fit better but the straps were still too long. I tried untying the knot that is in one of the ties, only to find out that it was sewn together. When I tried on the romper again the next day, the single stitch holding together the two pieces of fabric snapped. So now I am left with oneĀ long tie and one very short. I was able to still tie the halter but just barely and it was not comfortable at all. The next problem I had with the romper was that the cups are too small. You cannot wear a bra with this because it is so low in the back. The cups have under wires but did not give really any support, just flattened my Cs. After taking off the romper, I realized that under wire was already coming out of the lining. I’m seriously disappointing in the quality, especially for $68! The last issue I had is the back view. The romper is really not flattering on the butt and there is a ton of extra fabric sticking out around the lower back. It also emphasizes lower belly pooch.
