Girls' Striped One Piece Swimsuit - Cat & Jack™

After reading the other two reviews re: the color, I felt compelled to leave one as well. As another reviewer noted, the colors faded from bright and vibrant to ones that seemed to have a mauve undertone to them. At first, I thought it was due to sunscreen. But, sunscreen wouldn’t do this to the ENTIRE bathing suit. Secondly, if it was due to sunscreen, it would have turned the white inner lining of the bathing suit a brownish, mauve tint, but the inner lining was still a bright white. I ended up returning the suit for a refund. However, it was frustrating to be told by the Target employee that they’re technically not supposed to accept returns for this sort of merchandise once used, i.e. bathing suits, and that I should expect this to happen to bathing suits due to sunscreen. I explained that I did not believe this to be a sunscreen issue since it was diffuse and was told this happens to all of their personal bathing suits. I showed them the photo of what it’s supposed to look like on the Target app vs what I was returning, and they still told me how they’re not supposed to accept this return for future reference but would honor it this time. I also said that all of my child’s bathing suits are Cat & Jack, and I’ve never had this issue. I understand the policy - it makes sense. But this is not an item to be re-sold; it’s a defective item of which Target should be made aware. I hope Target and Cat & Jack figure out what’s wrong with the material or dye used bc it really is a cute suit…until you wear it for its intended use.

The colors faded so fast. It’s almost see-through now. Cannot recommend.

This swimsuit was adorable and vibrant at first, but after just two days at the pool, the colors completely faded, leaving it a dull, brown-tinged disappointment.
