“I’ll literally never forget my first Roy bikini! From the moment I tried it on I felt almost as if it was made for my body, the quality of the fabric and structure of the suit itself makes me feel so secure, fabulous and comfortable! I can’t think of a time I’ve ever felt more beautiful and confident on the beach (or in a bathing suit in general) than when I’m in a Roy Swimsuit! I was hooked from that moment on, I love the amazing quality and care Liane has put into each piece I’ve purchased from Roy Swim, she is so helpful and invested in her customers and makes each of us feel so special when trying on a suit for the first time.”

“Honest review from an owner of MULTIPLE Roys: your suits make me confident like no other. I wear them as tops with jeans, bras, to do yoga in, and to frolic on the beach. Handmade beauties for every occasion that support the girls and make the booty pop. Blessed to know the maker and know each piece is sewed with passion and love”
-Abby
“I love my roy bikini! The suit makes me feel so confident and is so comfortable! The quality and structure of the suit is the best I've tried on. I love that it is also reversible. The owner is so kind and she really wants you to love your purchase. I needed to exchange the top I bought for a different style with more support. She was more than happy to let me exchange the top and I received the new top very quickly.”

“For my roy-kini review I want to say that your suits truly are the most amazing ones out there! I only ever wear roy and I so look forward to getting my new suit at the start of each summer. It’s so admirable how you donate to good causes and are always the most accommodating and kind with your customers. You make a point to check in on your loyal kini lovers and truly become a friend. Your bikinis make me feel my most confident with their flattering designs and so many stunning patterns to chose from! Plus you make the best masks out there. You work so hard and it really shows- thank you for keeping us island girls suited up!”
-Avalon
“Roy bikini is the epitome of a local business and Liane is the epitome of a strong independent successful woman! I’ve never worn a bathing suit that was more comfortable and made me feel so confident in my body. As a teacher I need the most protection being in the classroom all day and Roy masks have kept me safe since the beginning! Local loves runs strong through Roy’s products and I will be supporting long time!”
- Kyra
“Ever since I wore my first Roy Bikini I haven’t bought another type of suit. They are just too comfortable to break away! I love mixing and matching and am always get compliments on the designs, colors and patterns. The quality has held up for years and I love adding a new design to my summer wardrobe. I love the reversible quality for its double spandex comfort and fun colors! They are truly the best and give back to the community whenever possible!”
- Anna
“Best suit I’ve honestly ever had the pleasure of wearing. I feel confident, supported, comfortable, and roy bikini just brings me so much happiness! What more could I ask for?! I dream about wearing my suit on the gorgeous beaches in PR. I always get compliments wherever I wear my roy and send my friends right to your Instagram. I love to support small business AND you support other small businesses and BLM organizations - our values align in so many ways, and that’s become more and more important to me in the past year. Love you!!”
- Sidney
“I’ve purchased two RoySwim bikinis about a year apart and love them both so much. The material is definitely quality and it has the character of being handmade. Not only are her suits amazing and beautiful, but each time I’ve purchased from Liane, she has been incredibly helpful in ensuring that I no less than LOVE my suit. From tolerating me multiple times at the flea market (pre covid) to ensure a proper fit and the right color selection, to answering questions virtually and assisting with an exchange when an item didn’t fit the way I expected (post Covid), she was wonderful, graceful, helpful and an overall a pleasure to work with. I would love a million of her suits, but realistically I don’t need that many! Much love for this amazing, talented and strong woman for working so hard, being so successful and overall being a badass while having such beautiful products!”
-Alexa
“I love every suit I own! They are all great quality and the color options are fabulous. Most importantly I love the diversity of your suits”
-Monica
“I own several Roys! Some are going on their 5th year and is still standing strong - even with daily dips in the ocean in the summer time. It’s the comfiest swimsuit I own. It makes me feel confident so it’s the one I always want to wear!”
- Angela
“I absolutely love everything about all of my Roy suits! They are so comfortable and make me feel confident in my own skin. I know that Liane makes each suit with the utmost care. Something that I especially love is that you can custom build your own bathing suit to whatever shape/colors suit (no pun intended) you best! Roy will always be my number once choice when I am getting ready for an epic day on the beach or going on a sunny vacation!”
- Teo
“I have 4 Roy suits and I love every single one, they are so flattering, so well made and you can tell they are made with love.”
- Marta
“roySWIM bikinis are the most comfortable and well made bikinis out there. All the different styles are so flattering. Only bikinis I’ll ever wear and I recommend them to everyone!”
- Emma
“Roy has the cutest handmade bikinis ever. They last so long because they are made with great quality materials and love. I have a top that I’ve worn for the past 5+ years and get so many compliments on it. It’s so fun to customize your design and really make it fit your style. Love love love.”
-Haven
“I always have a hard time finding tops that are cute but also supportive and my roy bikinis have always been the best. They’re so cute and beyond comfortable! Perfect for either just lounging on the beach or crashing in the waves. Having reversible suits makes it feel like you’re getting two suits for one and supporting a small business is always the way to go.”
- Rilla
“I love these suits! As someone that has to wear a bathing suit at work these are the suits I want to wear on my day off. I have 4 already but it’s hard to not buy more every time I see a new fabric or print. They are the most comfortable I sometimes have to look down and make sure its still on me. I no longer plan to buy a swim suit from anywhere else except from Roy bikini.”
- Denise
“Only suits I ever wear and could easily be the loves of my life if it weren’t a bathing suit. Maybe because they are made by such a beautiful human and reflect it so.”
- Grace
”Your suits make me feel so good! Choosing one is always so hard because I love all your prints and colors. Your one pieces are truly my FAVORITE! Flattering bad ass bathing suits! Your creative styles are also so impressive. I love seeing what you come up with.”
- Gretta
“My roy swim bikini has literally replaced all my other swimsuits. It is extremely comfortable, flattering, beautiful, AND it stays in place no matter what I’m doing. I swam more this past summer than ever before because I wanted to show it off. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a roy swim suit of your own :)”
- Catherine
“I am in love with these bikinis! Sizing is spot on; they fit perfectly and are so cute! I own several and can’t decide on a favorite. They are very thoughtfully designed and handmade, it’s hard to find that kind of quality nowadays.”
- Jamie
“Amazing product and amazing brand! I bought my first roy bikini and became OBSESSED- I bought two more that next week! beautiful bathing suits to feel great in and comfortable.”
-Iris
“I love the quality of the swimsuits and would literally buy them all if I could. I’ve never worn a suit that fits me like roybikini, and the patterns/colors are soo cute!”
-Hannah
“This is my all time favorite swimsuit I have ever owned! Liane was simply the best, she made sure I got the size that I felt absolutely amazing in and she couldn’t have been more kind or accommodating. This is my go to suit for every beach day!”
-Anna
“My Roy bikinis are my favorite- I love the buttery soft material that makes me feel super sexy and confident on the beach!!”
- Whitney
“I have been ONLY buying royswim for years now! All of my suits are still in great condition after years of wear. I love how new styles and fabric are always coming out and how the suits are reversible. So comfy, practical, and versatile! Plus, shopping small business always makes my heart feel full especially when their owner rocks!”
- Ali
“I absolutely love these suits! They are my favorite and such nice quality. I love all of the fun prints and styles! The knot top is my favorite!”
- Molly
”I ordered my first Roy on a cold winter day much like today when I was dreaming of sunshine and warm quiet days lying at Great Rock with a book soaking it all in! My beautiful leopard print criss crop top is so soft and so so fun!It’s the perfect top to mix and match and throw right into my beach bag! I now got my eye on a cantaloupe one piece!!! She has such an insane eye for color!!!!”
- Bryna
“I’ve been buying Roy suits for about 5 years now and they are one of the only ones I wear. They have no underwires or padding so they are soo comfortable and they hold up great. I still wear the very first one I bought. Going to the flea market every year and buying a new roy is one of the highlights of my summer.”
- Maeve
“MV summers need a suit that can keep up! Roy bikinis have been my go-to for everything from tanning and lounging to surfing & intense games of pro kadima. Love the material, the styles & the mission!”
- Katie
“I have been wearing Royswim bikinis for years now and they are ALWAYS my go-to suit for any occasion. All of the bikinis I have are in absolutely amazing condition, they are the most sturdy and comfortable bathing suits I’ve ever had.”
- Ana
“I love your swimwear and masks. I recommend your products to anyone and everyone, seriously flattering on all bodies! They always fit perfectly and are so comfortable and so so beautiful! The fabric is soft and your craftsmanship is flawless. I can’t wait to see your new fabric choices for this summer and any new styles you decide to try! Looking forward to strutting my stuff in all my Roys this summer and hopefully on a future vacation after all this pandemic madness is a thing of the past. Till then I have my beautiful masks! Thank you for your hard work and please don’t ever stop creating!
- Nichole
“My Roy swim bikini is beautifully made, super comfy and made by the best lady. So many cuts, colors and fabrics-mix and match AND reversible. Support local businesses!!”
- Noelle
“Nothing curbs the dreaded blues of winter better than daydreaming of warmer beach days. The other week, to solidify these daydreams, I decided to purchase a RoySWIM bikini. Admittedly, this was an excellent decision and it is now part of my weekly routine to try it on in an attempt to encourage summer to hurry up. It is the most flattering suit I own and is comfortable and unrestrictive (the same can be said about the face masks!) To all of you suffering in the winter months, highly recommend purchasing one now“
- Sadie
“Oh my goodness, the confidence I feel in my Roy kinis is so above and beyond other suits. I love to mix and match, and I'm honestly so shocked to find a top that has no underwire but gives so much support. I don't wear other brands anymore! It is such a luxury to be proud not only of the fit and style, but the fact that its handmade by someone I grew up with. Also its so fun to spot the other Roy babes dotting island beaches!!”
- Julia
“Roy swim are the single most comfortable bathing suits I’ve put on my body. They’re soft and luxurious and thoughtfully made. And proceeds from roy go to various worthy charitable donations, so you can buy 8 bathing suits at once and know you’re doing something good for the world”
-Hannah
“Roy bikinis are seriously the most comfortable and flattering suits I’ve ever experienced. You can tell how much time and care goes into each design and each individual piece. The fabric is soft, stretchy and so buttery and fits you like a glove but doesn’t feel too tight or squeezy like most swimwear. Liane’s designs are unique yet have this timeless simplicity and the quality is so good you will wear them for many summers to come. Amazing little company owned and run by some amazing women- can’t recommend enough!”
- Julia
“Just ordered my second custom-made swim suit with roy swim and could not be more impressed! My swimsuit fits like a glove and the service is outstanding - not to mention the different prints and materials are one of a kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality swimwear designed just for you!”
- Emily
“Roy swim is the only bathing suit line you’ll need. Incredibly comfortable and so freaking cute. Liane has such an eye for detail and picks out the most fun and beautiful prints. Her seamstress skills mean these suits will last you a long time! It can be hard to find a well fitted top for small boobs but these suits are it!!”
- Robyn
“I absolutely LOVE roySWIM suits, they are my all time favorite; so comfortable, flattering and the best quality! I wear my suits everyday in the summertime and get compliments every time. Her patterns are fun and different and she has sizes for EVERYone! I love love love my roySWIM!!”
- Korrine
“I have never felt sexier than in my Roy Bikini. I have 5 so far and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Liane has magical hands, and a special gift to create swimwear that really flatters every body. The colors each season get me SO excited! I love that they’re reversible so it’s like you get two bikinis for the price of one! My favorite part is the bum area, they are seamless-so no quadruple booty, just a perfect edge laying flat on your bum. She also sends them in these sweet hand printed bags that I use religiously-in my underwear drawer to keep things organized and for packing my suit on trips! Absolutely adore this brand, this maker and everything she does.”
- Kelley
“I heard about roySWIM through a friend and proceeded to spend hours deciding which of the beautiful colors to mix and match for a custom suit. When the top arrived slightly too small, Liane made it incredibly quick and easy to exchange and now it fits perfectly! It’s by far my favorite suit (along with the two other Roy suits I’ve bought since). I also bought a custom suit for my sister and she’s a complete convert! Definitely worth the price since each suit is practically 3 since they’re reversible. Cant recommend enough!”
- Alex
“I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about ROY bikini!! Not only are the suits made with so much love, the maker is dedicated to advocating for marginalized communities and putting her money where her mouth is. I am so inspired by this small business and everything it stands for.”
- Nina
“Just wanna say, my favorite bathing suit is the triangle, cross back top I have that is your blue tiger print with a blue on the reverse side! It is honestly so comfortable and for myself I have a bigger chest so it’s hard to find one that fits really well, and that one....is perfect! You also made me a custom daffodil one this summer, and that one is runner up to best, I love it just as much as the tiger one! I’m definitely gonna keep purchasing these suits! They’re awesome!”
- Amanda
“10 stars! Not only do Roy swimsuits make me feel amazing in my own skin but the woman behind the masterpieces is a true gem! She helps you build a suit you will feel comfortable and empowered in. Thank you Liane!!”
- Josey
“Honestly I should have written a review years ago because I do truly love your bathing suits so much. These are beautifully crafted, durable and comfortable bathing suits. The quality of the material is unmatched, and I still wear a bathing suit I purchased 4 years ago. They are a summer essential.”
- Marissa
“These suits are truly one of a kind, following Liane through the creative process makes buying the suit all the more special! They last forever and there are always new and exciting prints and textures, I get excited every year. So flattering and move so well with everyone's unique shape. Truly the best!!”
-Julia
“My reversible twist top is literally so comfortable and gorgeous that even in the dead of winter with ice and snow covering the ground, I can’t help but put it on and have a photo shoot! Can’t wait until I can rock the beach in these suits :)”
-Cath
“I have a roy bikini two piece that I have worn almost every day in the summer for the past two years. it fits so amazingly and the quality is incredible! Not to mention it’s the comfiest suit I own!”
- Olive
“My favorite swimsuit ever! Color never fades, and the texture is the most comfortable!”
-Anna
“I am completely in love with my Roy bikini. Liane was so amazing with all my questions about sizing, styles and colors. I received a suit that hugs perfectly in all the right places and makes me feel amazing on the beach. I ordered a black/ sage combo in Laceback top and a Banded Midrise bottom. I know it will last through many vacations and beach days!”
-Anna
“I love your work! Each suit looks so beautiful on your models and customers of all backgrounds. I soo appreciate that you honor all bodies in your marketing and making!! I dream of wearing one on my lily pad, the name of my inflatable sup, on a sparkling day filled with laughter and friends again. For now, I stare at your work in photo form. I know this new world we are creating will celebrate hand made, small business owners who care about the environment and its people the way you do. And I’m here for it!!!”
-Molly
“Best suit I have ever owned. Roy is the swimwear of my dreams—fully customizable in beautiful designs for all bodies. I’ll never wear another brand again.”
- Lily
“Roy Swim is my uniform in the summer! I bought a reversible bikini and its fun patterns and quality material have lasted me years! Can’t wait to get another one when it gets warmer.”
-Molly
“Roy bikinis are the only bikinis that I purchase now. Being a curvy girl they are flattering and so well made! I got my first one in 2015 as a gift and haven’t stopped getting them since. When ever a friend visits the island or is looking for a cute suit I ALWAYS reccommend Roy!”
- Emily
“I will never buy another brand swimsuit as long as Liane is making her Roy bikinis! These are the best, most beautiful and flattering bathing suits I’ve ever worn. They are so comfortable and can be custom made! I started buying Roy bikinis back in 2016 and have never regretted a purchase. I’ve gifted these bikinis to my friends and family and everyone who has tried one loves them! I get so many compliments on my Roy suits every single time I wear them. I am just mildly obsessed with these and can’t help but add to my collection every year!!”
- Kathryn
“Your suits are by far the comfiest and so flattering. Throw in that they’re reversible and you can’t lose. *chefs kiss*.”
-Leah
“Roy Swim doesn’t only have the most beautiful bathing suits but also an amazing maker. As a plus size girl, it was hard to find cute and stylish bathing suits. I reached out to royswim who made me a custom size suit! They fit perfectly and get compliments everywhere I am!”
- Molly
“Liane makes such comfortable and cute suits. Stock suits colors are intentionally paired to create perfect reversible combos while the ability to custom order suits in any cut allows for a suit to be designed to individual styles based on fit or design preferences. Beyond being reversible, the styles and prints compliment each other within seasons to allow for endless mix and match options and wearability across different style/printed suits or colors across years. I’ve consistently received kind and specific compliments for every Roy suit I own. I am always excited to pack a suit on any trip to share roybikini magic with the world.”
-Jess
“My roySWIM suits are like a second skin! The feeling is soft & delicate yet created for all day beach (and street) wear! I feel sexy, playful and beautiful in my bikinis, and every woman should!! Thank you for the magic!!”
- Stacey
“I haven’t made the leap to buy one of your gorgeous suits yet- simply because I often swim in sports bras and shorts, but dang do I love your work, your dedication to making everything feel glorious for each of your clients so that everyone can have a body positive bathing suit experience. It’s really inspiring! Also just so fun to watch your small business totally take off- you can’t find a vineyard beach in the summer without spotting some babes in Roy, and it makes me love our little island all the more. So, thank you for all that you do for our community.”
- Bella
“I love my Roy Suits!! The fabric and fit are great! I made three custom suits and I get tons of compliments. Love the fact that when packing the reversible suit gives me several options with one swimsuit. Swimsuits designed and made by a woman for women! Love supporting a small business!”
-Cathy
“A bathing suit is the hardest article of clothing to shop for! Some sell their suits same size bottoms and tops or the bottoms never fit right on me, or you can’t find anything flattering! I’m a woman with some hips and small bust. Without fail, every bottom I purchase is usually a little snug and doesn’t fit right. Roy is literally the first swim suit set that I have purchased and felt as if it was made for my body! It hugs your hips perfectly and stays put without squeezing around your waist & hips! I only have one suit from October but looking forward to purchasing many more for summer 2019!!! Great job Liane! Xo”
-Cady
“Just wanted to thank you for the first bathing suit I have ever gotten that I have felt comfortable in. At first I was skeptical about the fit based on your online images as I am not the same body type as your models. Once I tried it on my mind was instantly changed the bottoms fit so well and the bralette provides me with the support I have been looking for years in a cute suit (not a granny one). I must commend you on the quality of work and care for your products. I can't wait to get my next one and tell all my friends about your company! Again thank you!”
-Emily
“Liane is a magical goddess with a sewing machine and spandex! Her swimsuits are expertly handcrafted with love, and it shows in every aspect of her brand. From her high quality materials and well-thought designs, to her genuine friendliness and client engagement, you can tell Liane has a deep love for her craft and the women she adorns in it. She even took time out of her busy summer schedule to make me a custom bikini with fabric she was very low on, and when the bottoms didn’t fit she replaced them nearly overnight with a pair that fit perfectly, without hesitation! Her bikini’s make me feel beautiful inside and out!”
- Hannah
“Roy suits are by FAR my favorite bathing suits to wear! They’re so comfortable and the prints are always so cute. My favorite one to date is the zebra from summer ‘17”
- Maeve
“Absolutely love Roy bikinis! Liane is the best at what she does and always makes sure the bikini fits perfect ( and if it doesn’t, she will make sure to send over a size that does!). The bikinis last forever (due to no elastics). I have one of her very first bikinis from over 5-6 years ago and it’s still in perfect shape! I highly recommend everyone owns at least one Roy bikini! <3”
- Margaux
“I have 1 RoySwim suit and I absolutely LOVE it! It's SO comfortable, unique, and I get compliments all the time! When I first ordered I ordered a bottom I thought would look good on my body but ultimately did not provide enough coverage. I wrote to Liane and she not only recommended a much more appropriate bottom for my body but also exchanged the previous one at no additional cost. I can't wait to buy another suit this season!”
- Ellie
“I love my bikini!! The material is soft and feels really high quality. The zebra print is adorable and being reversible, it's like having two suits, perfect for packing light!”
- Jeni
“I absolutely love these bathing suits. I work on the ocean every summer, and I've never had a suit that can keep up with me without getting stretched out or the fabric fading...until I got one of the roy bikinis. They are so soft, fit so well, and most of them are reversible! So you get variation in whatever suit you choose. Safe to say I'm a roy loyalist and am very happy to have found these suits.”
-Hannah
“I love all my Roy Swim suits. They are hands down the most comfortable suits I’ve ever worn. They also stand the test of time—I have had my favorite Roy suit for 3 years now and it’s nearly as good as new. It’s hard to convince myself to ever wear anything else.”
-Lucia
“RoySWIM’s suits are made with so much care and love! I appreciate how well-made they are and how well-thought out the designs are. I always feel sexier in mine - they’re clearly designed with an appreciation for real women’s bodies. They also last forever!”
- Lydia
“I am 5’10” with a long torso and these one pieces are pretty much the only I’ve ever found to fit thanks to the adjustable straps. The only other was the Jcrew classic scoop back before they discontinued tall. But I must say the fabric of Roy is much nicer and softer, also the whole suit (not just the boobs) is double lined (not the weird brown fabric- as if the outside material was folded in on itself) which just makes the whole thing feel really substantial and well crafted which of course it is :) this will be by far the most comfortable suit you own.”
- Cassie
“I absolutely love your suits, especially how most of them are reversible, basically getting two suits in one! I have one pair of neutral bottoms that fit amazing and I love pairing them with all of my tops. The designs are so sleek and are perfect for tanning and being in the water. I can't wait to add to my collection!!!”
