Look Alikes: More Swimsuit Struggles

in Style and Fashion
SO, basically, while I was looking at the Delia's website earlier, I found that cute little number in the top picture. I'm pretty excited about it, because it has the same style of skirt as the one from Victoria's Secret and has a pretty adorable print. Not only are they similarly shaped, but the one from Delia's is $20 cheaper than the one from VS. The only thing I wonder about is the quality. I'm going to be buying a bathing suit for my vacation to Florida which will be from the 30th until August 4th, and I'm sure it'll get tons of use at the beach and pool. But I'll also use it when I get back because I plan on getting a gym membership at the YMCA, sooo is the Victoria's Secret one really worth the extra money if I'm going to be using it often, or should I save the $20?

I think you should try to find the top suit in a store and look at its quality before you buy either. If that swim suit isn't in the best quality range it could be in, go with the VS suit. Quality is what your going for? So do hands on research. It always works best for me.
It seems to me that Delias has pretty good quality stuff. And for $20 cheaper? I would go with Delias
i agreee w/ dreapuff :]
i can't say that you are necessarily paying for quality with Victoria's Secret. I would just buy the one that you like the most and that you will feel most comfortable wearing on your vacation. Have fun!
ive gotten delias swim suits before and i've gotten vs swim suits before and i havent really noticed any difference in quality. i'd say save the $! have a fun trip too!
i think you should get the one from delias and i also agree with dreapuff
i agree with dreapuff! go with delias! :)
I have a friend who has a swimsuit from Delias and its super adorable and the quality is just the same as victorias secret. She had it all summer last year and she wore it allllot and it was still in perfect condition by the end of the summer.
p.s-its more so the brand name of things that make them more expensive, not always quality.
just get whichever suit you love the most since I'm pretty sure the quality is probably about the same on both. VS tends to be way overpriced so I wouldn't think a VS suit would necessarily be better quality...
As far as I know, the quality of Delias seems to be pretty much on par with Victorias Secret. I think you should go with which ever one you like the most and you'd think would be the most flattering on your body type. They are both cute as can be.
VS carries different brands so it depends. I've not been too impressed with their actual VS brand, which are cheaply made in my opinion. I only buy them because sometimes you can get great deals. But you should count on them lasting only a summer or two (the fabric thins out and the elastic too).
i'd go with the delias swimsuit
I'm with everyone else, go with the Delias suit and save your money for something else. VS tends to be pricer on things just because of their name, it's not always about the quality.
