Alisha Din, 22, found this out the hard way when she bought a bikini from online retailer Pretty Little Thing. Din, who lives in Swansea in the United Kingdom, recently bought a teal, two-piece swimsuit to wear on vacation in Greece next month. In a statement to TODAY, Pretty Little Thing confirmed that some of the swimsuits on the site are not meant for swimming, and that this is noted in product descriptions. If customers are unsure, our customer service team are available to advise further on which styles cannot be worn for swimming. So I decided to tweet it just to make other people aware. She shared photos of the swimsuit bleeding blue dye on Twitter, along with a warning to other shoppers. For Din, this swimsuit disaster highlights the wastefulness of fast fashion, and how some retailers sell poor-quality items that only last one wear — if that.
Pretty Little Thing is selling a £60 bikini you can't get wet
Strapless Option. A crop top style with an inbuilt wired bra. Features a criss-cross back and Spanish, textured swimwear fabric.
Z Bikini Top. I find it really hard to buy bikinis and when I stumbled across their stand at Happy Place Festival I thought they looked great. The top and bottoms were just perfect for my short and petite stature and stayed in place! Perfect for snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing and was very flattering. I used it on my holiday last week and I would highly recommend this brand.
