There isn't enough support under the arms to support a big busted woman (D-DD cup). The cup is small and your breast droop on the sides from lack of support leaving you with an unsightly breast roll on both sides. The shoulder straps could be shortened a bit. I'm 5' 7 1/2 and the straps are too long for me. The sizing runs large. I ordered my regular size and needed to return it for a smaller size. Other than that I love this suit because of the hard bra, somewhat snug support on the inside abdomen area of the suit. (wish you would add that same snug support in the rear part too) The color is spectacular! I will buy another one of these suits when they add more support for large breast.
This fits well and does wonders for an older body. It doesn't ride up and it comes up far enough at the top to hide that underarm bulge of fat. Also it doesn't show nearly as much cleavage as swimsuits designed for younger bodies. The next suit I buy will be a Maxine!
I have used this suit for about three months 2 or 3 times per week for water therapy. It's one of the best suits --figure flattering, good fit --I've ever had but after a couple of months the great color is completely faded and dull. Very disappointing. I'd give it 5 stars but the color doesn't hold well.
The suit gaps in the crotch and is embarrasing. Maybe the area in crotch is not wide enough for heavier people or the elastic is not thight enough. The plastic breasts should be a option and I would have ordered the suit without plastic pointie thingies on top of the thingies I have. I will remove the thingies if possible. My husband says the suit looks great. I like the fact that it is nylon and fast drying. I am a serious swimmer and would like colorful tank suits in darker florals. thanks
I especially like the hard cup bra, which gives enough support for my 78 year old breasts. I'm sewing the straps to the appropriate length, fearing that if a button comes lose, I might have a wardrobe malfunction at an inopportunte time. I have used the suit alternately with another - four days a week...and so far, so good. I do rinse the suit carefully each time with a chlorine-off product, hoping it will last a good long time, as I don't see many suits similar to this one. I'd like to see more Maxine suits.
Love the color, love the suit. Hated the hard cups. They really are hard and uncomfortable.
