I just read the reviews and kind of guestimated. They were string bikinis so I can always tie to fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1225249 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 02:15:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1225249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have returned countless swimsuits to costco after breaking the ties. I'm in canada, but I can't imagine it makes a difference. If you couldn't try on, no one would ever buy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1225238 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 02:09:52 +0000 Aziraphale 1225238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buy a swimsuit without trying it on? Nope. I don't think that's ever a good idea --&nbsp;even if you're on the cover of Sports Illustrated.</p> <p>Now, if you can return it after the package has been opened, then go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1225176 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 01:28:46 +0000 Marmee 1225176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would buy one without trying it on&nbsp;if it were returnable. &nbsp;However, Costco has a great return policy. &nbsp;I'd call and ask to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1225174 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 01:25:44 +0000 Angie 1225174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Try Lands End for one pieces too).&nbsp;</p> <p>If the item is returnable - absolutely.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224765 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:01:51 +0000 Glory 1224765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Costco is very liberal with their return policy here in Canada. I would not hesitate to remove the ties and try it on. Return it promptly if it doesn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224757 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:36:31 +0000 gardenchick 1224757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe that Costco has a pretty liberal return policy if you have the packaging &amp; receipt...it does not need to be in the packaging, I think. But maybe call to confirm?<br /> I could not buy a bathing suit without trying on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224740 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:18:39 +0000 JayS 1224740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought that same suit, tried it on at home, and returned it. No problems. I just made sure to return that plastic thing with it.<br />I've got another Miraclesuit coming from BareNecessities. Will return that one too if it doesn't work.<br />My issues are similar to yours...petite. I wish I knew where to find suits for a short torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224725 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:03:18 +0000 viva 1224725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If returnable, probably. If returnable and from a trusted brand (in terms of fit an sizing), definitely. I have a hard time finding suits that fit, and I know after lots of trial and error that JCrew swim tops and bottoms fit me well, so I use them to replenish. I don't hesitate to try their new styles because they are returnable and usually free shipping and returns on swimwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224724 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:00:51 +0000 kkards 1224724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is why i buy most swimmer on line, its always returnable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224723 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:57:59 +0000 Susie 1224723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely need a swimsuit to be returnable if I couldn't try it on before buying. They are tough to fit for me. </p> <p>Just a comment though on straps...just like other items might need to be tailored for perfect fit, bathing suits can be altered too. I've had straps shortened before. And on a suit where I didn't like the adjustable piece, I had them remove them that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224720 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:41:25 +0000 Mo 1224720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be sure it's returnable. &nbsp;My new motto is nothing non-returnable over $10. &nbsp;That's the threshold I'm comfortable gambling with&nbsp;without sweating it.&nbsp;<br />I did buy a Speedo once at Costco, not tried on, but once I was home I could. &nbsp;I promptly returned it. &nbsp;It did not fit at all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224714 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:33:25 +0000 Janet 1224714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swimsuit shopping is fraught enough for me to attempt it without being sure I can return something that doesn't work. I would tread carefully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224693 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:56:24 +0000 JAileen 1224693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did - I bought several Lands End bathing suit pieces. I bought two tops and two bottoms. I haven't decided whether to keep two pieces or all four. I've bought bathing suits from them before, and am able to try them on. And if I want to return them I just take them to Sears. </p> <p>I would not take the risk of no return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224690 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:54:50 +0000 Parsley 1224690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would check the return policy before trying it on. If it's not returnable, then that would be a deal-breaker for me. Bathing suits are way too tricky, at least for me, to get right without trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224686 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:53:33 +0000 rute 1224686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way! I'm very picky with my swimsuit&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-buy-a-swimsuit-without-trying-in#post-1224684 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:52:00 +0000 cloud9 1224684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a hard time replacing my swim wear. I prefer one piece which limits my options. Being petite I often find the shoulder straps a bit long, thus the whole suit would sit lower (or pulled down by my wider bottom, lol), results in more cleavage than I want to. </p> <p>I saw this miracle suit at Costco that looked promising. However, after I take it home, I noticed it is tied to the packaging. Not sure if still returnable if I break the tie to be able to try it on. </p> <p>Oh wise YLF, would you take the risk of no return &amp; wasted $ and try it or "put it back and onto something better"? </p>
