Immediately when people saw this bathing suit ( i bought the black one) people couldn't stop complimenting me in it. I feel the bathing suit fit well but could be a tad smaller. The reason I didn't give it all five stars is that if you wear it for swimming aerobics you might have to wear it zipped down a couple inches because for me it rubbed the top part of my chest. But if you feel too exposed you can wear a sports bra underneath it!!
Zipper would get stuck when putting on swimsuit. Sent product backfor refund.
I really love this suit!! I have never paid this much for a swimsuit, but I wanted a flattering 1 piece that didn't look frumpy. I'm a mom of 2 kids, and the black piping on the sides and general shape of the suit is very flattering to the non-18-year-old-body! One thing I will say is that I'll be wearing it with a sports bra. While there wasn't any "show-through" when the suit was wet, there is no built in bra and the "headlights" factor is pretty obvious. Maybe it would be less obvious in the black color suit, but I wanted the green, so I'll wear a black sports bra with it. Problem solved!
This swimsuit is stunning to look at, but if you wear it in a pool a reaction occurs where red strips appear down the sides then after it dries the stripes fade out. If you wear it in the ocean and sit on a towel the towel will look as bright at the suit as it will run. I'm not certain if this is caused by the sunscreen or what. For the $99 dollars I spent on this suit, I was not happy with it's chemical performance kinda scares me as to what really is in the color of this suit .
Very slimming and complimentary. The zipper is sticky and the suit is a bit of a challenge to get on/off, but WELL worth the effort. A bit pricey as well, but I can't wait to wear it full time in Hawaii!
My husband doesn't ususally like one-pieces on me; he thought this suit was very flattering, and I found it easy to swim while snorkeling (much easier than a bikini!)
