A high-waist faux-wrap swim skirt with briefs built into it — one piece to pull on, not a skirt to pull over a bottom you bought separately.
Highlights
✓The built-in briefs are fully lined — stated outright, which matters more on a bottom than anywhere else on a swimsuit, and is not something every piece in this range confirms.
✓Faux wrap, not an actual wrap — the overlap is sewn rather than tied, so there is no fastening to come undone and nothing to re-tie when you get out of the water.
✓High-waisted — the waistband sits above the hip rather than at it, which is what lets it pair with a crop-length top without a gap between the two.
✓No skirt length is published. On a swim skirt that is the one figure that decides it, and Lime Ricki does not give it in inches or in words — the photographs are all you have to go on.
✓This is the bottom half only. There is no shelf bra and no top in the listing — the tops worn with it in the photographs are separate purchases, so a full swimsuit here is two items.
Lime Ricki designs this to be mixed rather than matched, and says so: it goes with any top in the range. In the same Botany floral you have the Botany Floral Knotted Crop Top for a matched set and the Botany Ruffle Scoop Bralette for a softer one; a solid black top breaks the print up if a head-to-toe floral is not what you are after.
Against the alternative bottoms: the Botany High-Waist Bottom is the same print with no skirt over it and costs less, so this one is the choice when you want the leg covered. The same skirt also comes in the Bouquet floral. Both sit in the skirts collection and in the swimwear range.
Blue and white Botany floral, 80% nylon and 20% spandex, with fully lined built-in briefs, in nine sizes from XXS to 4X. Lime Ricki states “UV 50+ protection” here rather than the “UPF 50+” used on other pieces in the range, and names no test standard for either. Not published on this listing: the skirt length, the rise measurement, the leg cut on the briefs, care instructions, chlorine resistance, and a size chart with waist and hip measurements. Ask us and we will confirm any of it before you order.
