T...I have ordered from Athleta for six years or so. The quality of their fabrics is VERY good. I have at least six pairs of the sueded tactel pants (full length, cropped, and shorts). They are incredibly soft and comfortable. A drawback for me, however, is that a lot of the tops tend to be short. I am 5'9 1/2" and size small is often too short for me while size medium is too big. I have never had any ordering or customer service problems, which is a huge plus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-41835089607046408312009-04-22T19:04:00.000-07:002009-04-22T19:04:00.000-07:00I have only ordered one bikini from them and it's ...I have only ordered one bikini from them and it's great! Although I don't have much use for a bathing suit too often, it is a great fit for an hourglass shape.. I've had a hard time finding two pieces that hold everything in but Athena is great.. Plus it's reversible!Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893255635402758106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-35941787184840545632009-04-22T17:34:00.000-07:002009-04-22T17:34:00.000-07:00I wondered why I got an e-mail from them this morn...I wondered why I got an e-mail from them this morning when I never gotten one in the past.

I've heard GREAT things about their swimwear though. <br /><br />And am I wrong, or did they used to have specially made pieces by name brands like Patagonia, Prana, Columbia, etc? Or am I thinking of another company?AppGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357132357374563505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144005264130883494.post-13719782156497934432009-04-22T13:45:00.000-07:002009-04-22T13:45:00.000-07:00I saw this the other day, too!

The quality is really great and the styles are wonderful. They never used to have coupons but that might be different now that they are owned by the Gap.

I own two of their swimsuits and love them. They are well made, sturdy and cute. I always get the most compliments when I wear them.
