I’m 5’4” and a size 16 – my Skims bikini made my boobs look ‘amazing’ but the sculpting underwear was ‘an immediate no’
A PLUS-SIZE influencer showed off her curves as she modeled her haul from Skims.
The content creator, who wears a size 16, shared her thoughts on the stylish looks.
TikTok user Meg Gilbert (@mermeghair) explained that she had never purchased anything from Skims before.
“I did it, I made my first Skims order. I’m really excited about it,” she told viewers.
For her first look of the video, Meg tried on the $64 knit beachwear plunge top in the color Magenta.
She completed the look with the matching $58 knit beachwear high-waisted bottoms.
Modeling the look, Meg explained: “I actually read that this is not waterproof and that it’s a sunsuit but it’s in the bathing suit section of the website.”
The TikToker told her followers that she had planned to wet the bikini in the shower to see how it held up.
“I think it would lose all of its structure, it feels like bandage,” she detailed.
Reviewing the bikini bottoms, Meg said: “It definitely is higher cut on the sides. I don’t think I love it because I hate how high up it goes at the back and it slopes down in the front.”
On the other hand, the influencer did highlight the pros of the bikini top.
She told viewers it made her cleavage “look amazing” but that it still wasn’t worth keeping.
“I can’t wear it in the water and I don’t like how the back sits and it was over $100 for the set so sorry Kimmy,” Meg concluded.
Next, the TikTok user shared her thoughts on the $32 sculpting mid waist briefs in the color Ochre.
“This is a 2X, I can’t show you much but it’s an immediate no because it rolls down. Like what? You gotta stay up b***h,” she said.
Finally, Meg modeled the $54 Soft Lounge shimmer long sleeve dress in the color Camel, which she layered over the shapewear underwear.
The content creator described the overall look as “looking like a**.”
“Let me take it off so I can appreciate this dress because it’s shimmery and so cute. Okay, no bra, no shapewear. I prefer my natural shape,” she said.
The influencer informed her followers that she is “not a shapewear girly.”
“I like this, it feels really comfortable, like I’m wearing nothing almost. It’s so cute,” Meg said about the dress.
She told viewers that she planned to wear the look to her rehearsal dinner.
“Tell me that’s not a moment,” Meg said as she accessorized the dress with a gold tiara.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the haul.
“I found both Skims and Yitty [by Lizzo] roll down really badly,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “The [sculpting underwear] you tried on does the same exact thing for me!!”
“All shapewear is like that for me too! I just wear high rise biker shorts for a little smoothing,” commented a third person.
