After following Elisabeth for a long time, and wanting a Hoaka that seemed so perfect, I finally decided to purschase two of them. Here are my honest thoughts.

Price:
I paid full price for them, $69 each set, but they tend to have sales so I recommend waiting for one before you buy.

What I got:
I got two hoakas, the sita black set and the ellie kahki set.

Sizing:
My measurements are 35 inches hips and I’m a 32DD on one breast ans 32DDD on the other (I know, it’s complicated). I got size medium for the bootikini bottoms, size small++ for the top of the sita black set and size medium for the top of the khaki one. So I followed the measurements exactly as it said, which I strongly recommend you do, because they don’t stretch at all.
The bottoms fitted perfectly. The tops fitted the 32D but NOT the 32DD, which slipped out and looked really bad. So I’d recommend sizing up if you are a 32DD and maybe get a medium + on the sita and a large on the Ellie.

Dye:
It was the biggest flaw that I encountered. The black one dyed all of my thighs as soon as I hit the water on the beach. Really badly dyed, which was really disappointing because the white edges were sort of ruined. The main reason I was disappointed is because of the price, giving that they charge you $69 they could improve their dyeing. Didn’t encounter the same problem with the khaki one so maybe avoid getting a black one.

Staying power:
It does stay on.

Customer services:
In my experience it was good, they answered all of my emails pretty quickly.    -
