154. Small Bust Large Cup Bikini Tops, Mermaid Hues, and Heatwave Clothes
This is EVERY BODY GETS DRESSED’s weekly edit of the only newness, sales, and restocks worth your attention.
In last week’s newsletter, I buried the lede on the only swimwear brand I’ve shopped from for the past three years. This really is the season of swimwear shopping, so I’m sharing more details. I want my bikini tops to be supportive, and I have long given up on ready-to-wear brands for that. If you find swimwear shopping a headache (who doesn’t?), narrow it down to swimwear specialists. Monday Swimwear makes supportive tops in sizes ranging from Petite Petite to Very Very Voluptuous. This season they introduced a new size Small Bust Large Cup to fit people who measure 28-34" under bust and DD–G cup. Until now, I have been wearing the Capri top and Tulum top. They also make bottoms with a wide range of coverage. I like mine super duper skimpy. My mum rolls her eyes. I get the Palma thong and always buy the matching sarong or skirt for extra modesty. Returns are super easy.
Attention cropped-pants fans and short girls who buy them to avoid alterations (hi!): La Ligne just launched their #1 best-seller, endlessly written-about, everyone’s favorite bias pant, the Colby, in a new cropped length!
OSSOU is having a sale: 40% off a small selection of great pieces. Since most pieces are butter yellow, I want everything. For some it’s a trend, for me it’s the one light color I can reliably fall back on. The detail on this button-down and the volume on this tee are so good.
Liffner opened pre-orders for the Pushlock clutch. Fun colorways like the turquoise suede or pink lizard will ship mid-June.
Teal, aquamarine, and other bright blues are having a moment, and Reformation got the memo. The latest drop has mermaid hues washed over dresses (halterneck mini, strappy maxi, and silk midi), a silk two-piece, a ‘90s-fit silk shirt, and even wedge thong sandals. I spy the popular shade in the highly anticipated Courtney Grow x Reformation collab dropping on Monday (I’ll be shopping!). These pants are a washable (and undoubtedly lesser-quality) version of the new Aflalo balloon pants.
Started after I sent last week’s sale roundup, Tibi’s End of Season sale continues. You can take up to 40% off everyday pieces with a structured sporty feel, like the active knit T-shirt, the bonded viscose belted tank top, the sweatshirting sleeveless top, and the anorak Italian nylon skirt. For the evening, I love the sheer wool gauze tee or sheer wool gauze shirt over a black triangle bra and this pea-pod crinkled slip dress (see below). For all these pieces, watch the Style Class Short video under the product description to see it styled and get sizing guidance.

Jamie Haller’s fans get spoiled with many new arrivals. My picks are the silk Arc pants in sky blue and the high-V tee in white stripes. I’d wear them together.
LESET Margo long-sleeve baseball tee gets a restock. Wear it with a silk midi skirt to emulate Zoë Kravitz. We also have Kyoto shorts and Kyoto utility pants now. Their sale is still on with up to 60% off.
Moda Operandi received these super cute Odissi crocheted flats and they instantly sold out in most sizes. There are more sizes of the red ones here.
Negative Underwear introduces the Sieve cutout bra and matching thong in new cream, cobalt, and lilac colorways. The micro mesh Sieve fabric has built up a cult following among bra-haters. Anna Newton just tested Substack’s favorite T-shirt bras and Negative’s Whipped Non-Wire bra came up in her Top 3. She says it looks sexy and feels like wearing nothing at all. The Whipped fabric is probably not ideal if you need a lot of support. I need to find the strength to conduct the same investigation for people who wear an E cup or equivalent.
Aflalo’s Summer 2026 collection has arrived. Heirs to the cult Lolana pants are two new balloon pants: Sigur in lightweight silk shantung and Elena in heavyweight ivory silk. These can be added to the list of alternatives to my Maria McManus satin basketball shorts. There’s also a jade semi-sheer cotton-silk button down. I love how Leandra Medine styled it, and apparently so did a lot of people because it is nearly sold out.
Ancient Greek Sandals came out with new styles and this Esther Beads sandal with a jelly sole and beaded ties stands out. There’s a version without beads in a vibrant green, too. I know I said I was scared of sandals that wrap around the ankles but then I saw Kelly Klein wrap hers around the bottom of her pant leg and I changed my mind.
Just in: Veronica Beard newness, and as always, I zero in on the jackets. I visualize coffee runs in this and business meetings in this, with wide-leg pleated pants and heels.
Alex Mill Summer Chapter 2 doubles down with heatwave pieces that feel like wearing nothing in linen, cotton voile, and ramie. This baby blue lace top is cute.
Rachel Comey had a second Pre-Fall drop and, as someone who is deep into a rabbit hole of 2003 summer fashion—muted pastels, sheerness, and layered necklines—this dress is all I want to wear this summer. I’m also here for this printed version of the long surfboard shorts.
And finally, J.Crew Summer is here. I would get the Montauk sweater tank in cream, teal, or lemonade and perhaps a size up for a more relaxed fit. For really hot days when wearing anything is unbearable, go for this ‘90s misty-blue slip dress or this cerulean 100% linen halterneck one. The pants people buy as a LESET Kyoto dupe (and end up liking better than the OG) get new colorways. I like smoky thistle. Speaking of dupe, this fun, bright red cashmere V-neck polo is a very close iteration of Guest In Residence’s Pele polo, and these are clearly a take on Donni’s sold-out gingham taffeta pants (except you can machine wash the J.Crew version).
