Coco Reef Swimwear
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
If you're young, full busted and looking for swimsuit separates, Coco Reef Swimwear by Roxanne has what you're looking for.
Roxanne and Coco Reef Swimwear
There was a time, not so very long ago, when finding a swimsuit that fit was nearly impossible. If you found one that accommodated your rear, it might not have exactly the fit you needed in the bust. Sometimes it was the other way around, but either way you were stuck with a swimsuit you had to pull and tug to keep in shape. It was definitely not a flattering time for swimsuit fashions.
Thank goodness things have changed. Designers and manufacturers have seen the light, and now let us choose many of our suits by the piece. This means you can have the medium size bottom you need to go with that extra large top, or any combination that suits your figure.
Roxanne Swimwear not only took up the mix and match challenge, it answered the call with innovative styling that would provide the best fit of all: bra-style swimsuit tops. No more making due with an innocuous sizing of small through extra large that never really meant the same thing from one manufacturer to the next. Roxanne offers actual cup sizing 32-B to 46-DD. Now that's a selection.
Roxanne's sizing has definitely been a hit with women, but younger women and busty teens were looking for swimsuits that were geared more toward their age and lifestyle. Again, Roxanne took up the challenge and introduced the Coco Reef Swimwear line.
Coco Reef Swimwear delivers bikinis, tankinis and more in gorgeous fabric prints that put a fresh spin on full figured swimwear. Most suits still come equipped with the bra-style swimsuit tops and sizing that Roxanne is known for, but you wouldn't suspect there was so much going on under the fabric to look at one of these suits. As a matter of fact, let's look at some of Coco Reef's swimsuits right now so you can see for yourself.
Shopping for Coco Reef
Roxanne and Coco Reef swimsuits do not have their own website at this time, so you're going to have to do a little searching to find them, but it's worth the effort. You'll find some of the lines at well known retailers like Nordstrom's and Macy's, but the Internet provides the most convenient search of all.
The Find
TheFind.com by far yielded the largest selection of Coco Reef bathing suits because this search engine gathers listings from many online retailers and eBay. See something you like? Click and purchase. There's no need to spend an hour on the Internet searching one site after the next. You can even comparison shop for the same swimsuit to find the better price.
Check out some of these great styles.
- Carabella offers a fantastic Coco Reef tankini in a bright island floral top, paired with a solid black bottom. This suit draws the focus upward, to take emphasis off of your derriere. Bottoms are available in small through extra large, and tops run up to 36-D.
- The Double Bra Halter and Belted Swim Skirt, also sold at Carabella, features the same fabric combo as the tankini, but it a supremely sassy style. The top has full underwire construction and boned sided to give you fantastic support up to size 38-D. The black swim skirt flares ever so slightly with a matching floral belt.
- The Swim Diva Dot Halter and Swim Skirt is another flirtatious, yet fitting swimsuit from the Coco Reef collection. You'll find both pieces offered at Amazon.com.

Lord and Taylor has a limited selection of Coco Reef swimsuits, but the styles are fabulous.

Hi Pat,
I'm sorry that you had such a terrible experience. Have you contacted the company? And if so, what did they tell you?
-- Contributed by: Jacqueline DautajI recently purchased a tankini made by Coco Reef and was excited because it was the first one I ever bought that fit me properly. Trying it on in the fitting room is not like wearing it at the beach. The underwires were made of thin metal and very pointy at the ends. These underwires poked into my skin and actually left marks on my skin. The suit was extremely uncomfortable and I will not wear it again. I wore it exactly 6 times. It was expensive for my budget but I thought since it was expensive that it would be a quality item. I wrote to the company online and received no reply. I am very disappointed and will not purchase any more Coco Reef products in the future.

That is strange; I'm sorry that that happened. That said, I did find this link on the website. There does seem to be some information there; why not contact them and see if they can help you? At the very least, I'm sure they'll be able tell you if this has happened before to anyone else. Thank you for the post and good luck!
