Carol Wior Classic Tie Front Swim Dress Reviews

Size: Feels too small

So cute, but soooooo short.  I am only 5"4" and I could barely tug the top up to provide adequate cover.  I had to send it back.  The hips, waist, bust were ample, but it was made for someone VERY SHORT.

Used it over Christmas vacation in Puerto Vallarta.  Fits perfectly and is very flattering.

Size: Feels too small

This suit is beautiful and very well made - it slims in all the right places and drapes nicely over the body. My complaint is that it's too short. I'm 5'3" with a short torso and it's hardly long enough to cover my bust. I have to pull the straps super tight to keep from spilling over the top of the suit. Seems like you either need to have no curves at all or be 4'5" for it to fit lengthwise. A shame because it really is a nice suit.

I usually wear a size 10, but bought the 12 since there was no size 10.  It was too long and the bust was way too small.  I loved the idea of the suit and was so disappointed to have to send it back.

I saw the design of this dress and I HAD to try – I just had to!  I usually hate swimsuit shopping because I can never find something that fits just right and looks sexy but classy.  It seems like “longer” suits only exist for more mature women.  I have never tried a Wior before.  Historically, I always had to buy a size larger in swimsuits because they always run small.  I am in my early 30s, a size 8, 36D bust and about 5’3.  I wanted to buy the size 10 but they were out so I decided to take my chances with the 8 and prepared myself for my usual disappointment.  Right when I pulled it out of the box I feel in love with its boldness (the picture online doesn’t do it justice).  I tried on the suit and it actually fit!  I couldn’t believe it!  I do agree with a previous reviewer that the inner torso falls just a little short but the dress covers it up well and I believe the torso will stretch.  PLUS – I added the push up pads and boom – instant vixen!  The suit definitely doesn’t squish my bust and actually flatters it!  It has a vintage, classic, pin-up feel to it.  It’s nice to have found a suit that looks great right from the start and now the 5lbs I plan to loose will make it look amazing – just in time for summer!  This is highly recommended for the curvy/busty, average build girl who still wants a design that’s flattering, classic and sexy!  Get this suit!

I LOVE this swimdress!! It is so cute on! I wore it for the first time this past weekend and honestly, I received compliments from everyone who saw it. If it came in other colors, I would get one in each! Great fit, very feminine!

Size: Feels too big

Very nice looking and well made but had to return it because it was very large. I usuall wear a 10 and this was more like a 14.

Size: Feels too big

LOVED this swimdress online and when I received it however I ordered a larger size than what I wear because I so desperately wanted it and they didn't have my size, I would say it runs big because one size larger was HUGE.  I would love it if they ordered more stock so I could still have one!

Size: Feels too small

First off this is super cute, fun, and flouncy, however I keep finding myself pulling it up.  I'm petite so I wouldn't think having the suit be too small lengthwise would be a problem, but it is.  The under layer just plainly needs to be a bit longer for the chest and bottom to be comfortable and correctly lined up.  Width is fine, just length that is too short. The material is high quality but after swimming you have to wring it out a bit as it holds water pretty well.  I love the way it looks and I think it's classical enough that I can wear it for a few years, especially since it might be worn once or twice a year.  I definately would recommend it if a person is shorter waisted and wants to cover up stomach, hips, and tops of legs.
