I bought two of these suits thinking I would really like them. But I have to agree with another reviewer who had mentioned a problem with the bust lining - the sewn-in foam pieces are about 2 1/2 inches lower than they should be - so the foam doesn't even cover what it is supposed to cover and the seam for under the bust goes down to the bottom of my ribcage. It's made the same way with both of the suits. The other reviewer was smaller in the chest area, but I am not, and I still had this problem. Unfortunately I will have to return them - I really liked the style - but the lining is a problem.
Pulls up in front and leaves gathered material under bust.
I love this suit. The only complaint I have is that it lacks support in the bust area, but I don't find many suits that do have such support, so its not the end of the world. Also, if you have a smaller bust, this is probably not a good choice. It's large in that area, which works for me but definatly won't work for everyone.
I'm really happy with this suit. It fits close to perfect, and I bought the same size I actually wear. I do agree that it does not have a ton of support in the bustline though, but it's not too bad. I think the top portion of the suit is cut a little big (which is good for me, but really wouldn't be good for everyone).
I have only used the suit once as my class just started. I felt there is a definate difference between that suit and a "regular" bathing suit. I had more support and it was very comfortable. I would recommend it. Sizing is always a problem for me when I order on line. I did order up and am very happy with the fit. ( I didn't give it 5 stars as I only used it once.)
A nice modest suit that helps to hide problem areas and isn't ugly!
I bought it a size big and it was but I love the style and it washes and dries wonderfully.
This suit fits rather snugly, but the greatest issue for me was the straps. Had this suit adjustable straps, it would've been fine.Also, while the skirt feature is great for a leisure swimsuit, it creates a ton of drag if you're working out. (Just wanted to throw that in there.) Sadly, I'll be returning this.
Nice fabric and the design is cute. It would look great on someone with a good figure and ample bosom. However, I've put on a middle aged 15 pounds lately which I'm working off and I've never been big chested so, without underwire, I am more pear shaped than not these days. This suit does not work for pear shapes. It may be true to size but the cut is actually not very forgiving. The outer sheath is nearly as form fitting as the under layer, so it doesn't work to hide much of any extra weight you might be carrying. And the bra area is rather large in proportion to the torso. Just so you know. : )
I use this product to swim and just to hang out by the pool. I love this swim dress because it is so slimming and feels very good. Joan Marie comments helped me with my decision to buy this dress (thanks Joan!). I wanted to post a review so that it may help someone else when ordering. This dress basically does run true to size. My delima was that I wear a size 10 in dress pants, however, in blue jeans I wear a 12. I also wear a medium size shirt. So I was confused do I buy a 10 or 12. I decided to order the 12 since most swim suits are body conforming. I AM SOOOO GLAD THAT I DID! So if your in between sizes like that, order the bigger size. If I had ordered the 10, I would have been sending it back because it would have been way too tight. Also, Swim Outlet was awesome! I put in my order and 1 1/2 hours later got confirmation it was shipped. Got my order fast! Thanks!!!!
