Athena Reviews
I really like this suit. I have a DD chest and most one piece bathing suits do not offer enough support; this one does. It hooks in the back like a bra, and ties at the top, however, tight you need it. It's also much cuter than most one piece suits.
These are great! It fits me perfectly and they are very flattering. I was looking for a bathing suit to wear that covers a bit more, since most of mine are string. This is the bottom! I mixed it and matched it with a different top and it looks great. I bought a larger size due to some reviewers saying that they did. I wear a size 4 or 27/28 on the bottom and bought a size 8. I know... crazy but they fit wonderfully!

I am a 36DD and have desperately been searching for a bandini top where I wouldn't need a strap to keep the girls up (and hide my tummy). This is the one! The top stays in place, even when chasing down your umbrella on the beach! If you need to run into the store before the beach, this top pairs great with shorts, no problem, and no cover up needed! I also love that the cups are sewn in so you don't have to worry about any shifting cups or wrinkles after washing. I have it in poppy right now, size 14, but ordered it when was 181lbs. I'm now down to 168 and 5'7...time for a new top! Just ordered it in the pink size 12! I'm so glad Athena has come out with more colors, I absolutely love this top!
These bottoms are by far some of the most flattering I've ever worn! They really help combat any semblance of muffin top, and the coverage on the bum is just enough without being frumpy. The only reason I'm giving these 4 out of 5 stars is because they do come up a bit high and it can be awkward to maneuver the fold over top portion.
I think the top is cute but as a mom of 3 nursing a 6 week old this thing does not have enough support for the ladies! I am wondering as I look at the picture if the model may have had some special augmentation for things to be so perky because mine make the suit look like its halfway down my front. I imagine I will return it. Please make this more supportive! It would have been a no brainier if it had had a bra-ish thing inside to keep things looking nice instead of just the shelf bra. The killer is I'm not even that big, just wanted a strapless swim suit for 34D boobs.
What a beautiful coverup! It it so slimming, and looks very expensive! I purchased the poppy color and aqua, and just love these. The cover the butt but make you look fabulous all around. This would look great on absolutely everyone! I wish it came in white, yellow, and pink! I also purchased the matching Athena Monaco swim dresses as well, and I wish they made those colors in them as well.
I order a bathing suit top and was a little worried it would fit or not. Well, it not only fit perfect the design the quality was very good. Price was right. The best part is if it didn't fit, I could send it back (free shipping).

I love this tankini and wore it to the lake and it didn't ride up like some do, dried quickly in the sun. The pattern is bright (love the orange) and a nice change from all the black and white patterns. Will consider this brand when I order another
This was exactly what I was hoping for! It is very comfortable and hides all the right spots. The suit underneath has a slimming effect that takes some of the inches off also. I purchased this bathing suit so that I could chase my toddlers around the beach without problem. It's perfect!

I also bought this Heavenly Bandini Top in Black and Poppy! Heavenly indeed! Those of us, and there are plenty, that had a cute little waist line only to end up with a "muffin." These tops are great and makes tiny bust look fine, which was a worry with strapless tops! Thank you Athena and Zappos for a wonderful trip down mail order lane! Oh, they work great with the ruffled skirt!
I love this suit but decided to return it because it was a little too covered up for me. I wanted to keep it because it was the most comfortable suit I have ever tried on though, but I went with different athena tops. I'm 5'7" 140lbs and had a baby a few months ago so still nursing and a 36D, usually a 34D and the 10 was too big but could have worked, the 8 was perfect.

Perfect top for after having a baby and feeling insecure with a little belly. The length is great. I went with the 8 and I'm 140 lbs, 5'7", 34D (36D while nursing right now). I love it so much I got two of these same tops just different styles. I love the Athena bottoms to go with them, great full coverage and comfy. My only negative of this top is the top part could be more comfortable but it has that special material to keep it up and I'm sure it's necessary. You can't go wrong with this top! The pinkish purple color is so beautiful!
Perfect coverup! It's classy, stylish and comfy. I wish it was a tad longer but I still love it. I'm 5'7", 140 lbs, 34D just had a baby a few months ago and the small was a great fit.
Great bottoms! The foldover portion is great to hide any imperfections you may have. The bottoms have great full coverage and are very comfortable.

The most comfortable swim suit combo I have ever put on! The Heavenly Bandini top with the Heavenly Ruched Skirt with ruffled bottom are perfect for me! I have never ordered anything to wear before, to hard to fit and please me! The Zappos experience was wonderful. I got 2 suits and the white gauze pants! Plus, made in the USA. I will be back and will tell all my friends!
Love this coverup. Very well made and great color. Got to wear over a navy suit I'm 5'9 and provided enough coverage. I wear 12/14 and size large is perfect.

I will be returning these bottoms, but only because the top I bought them to match didn't work out. I'm 5'10 and 150 pounds. I bought a size 8, but would recommend buying up a size.
I liked the fabric, it was slightly iridescent, not glittery, but had a nice sheen from the Lycra. What I didn't like is that I'm a D cup and this just did not give the girls the support they demand.
Love this! Ordered yesterday and received today! Very supportive, I am a 36 D and I ordered the 10. Fits great and looks great!

This is a cute swimsuit top for those of us who would rather not be in a swimsuit at all. Black and white is always cool and so are polka dots. I bought a size 12 because I need the bust size (I'm 36 DDD) and it seems to be supportive enough to be comfortable. I also got the Athena ruffled swim skirt. We are going to the Caribbean for 10 days, so we'll see!
I love it! I had tried on so many suits in the store and was so disappointed! I knew what I wanted and just couldn't find this style that actually fit. As soon as I opened the package (which arrived free the day after I ordered it!) I just knew it was going to be the one. The material just felt like good quality. I was not disappointed when I tried it on! It was perfect! The fit, the look, the style...it was all there. I am a recent breast cancer survivor and the surgeries changed my torso significantly but this hides all those flaws. I love Zappos and the Athena line!
