The suit is lovely and fits beautifully.  I know I will enjoy wearing it. Love the blue color.

Haven''t bought a one piece in years. Instruction and water exercise. several times a week. Very comfortable in and out of water, I don''t have to mess with the straps, even though I''m a D-cup, which are both adjustable and removeable. I feel secure in suit and not conscious about those few unwanted pounds.

Use for aquatic therapy and water aerobics. Bust support not the best. Flattens large bust.

I bought this swimsuit because of the removable straps and the shirred mid-section.  I had a Speedo swimsuit about ten years ago and loved the fit! Things haven't changed! The suit has 360 degree compression that keeps everything "pulled-in" and it is still very comfortable through hours of wear.  I do have a little "trouble spot" in my mid-section that the shirring helps with.  I wanted the removable straps to avoid tan lines, and with the straps removed the suit stays in place. It is a classy and classic swimsuit that is a must have!

I wear an 8, but this one is way too small in the bust.  Kept it--hoping to sell to a friend.

I expected to like this suit. The color (I ordered cobalt) is lovely and I like the style, in theory. Because, looking at the sizing chart, my size is cuspy (part 6, part 8) I went ahead and ordered the 8. Wondered if it would be too big. Nope-- I could barely pull the thing on. Once I wrestled it up, I felt like I was wearing a girdle. It was so thick, and so compressing, I could not imagine being able to relax at the beach or pool. I felt like it would make me sweat the whole time, barely able to breathe, much less run after my toddler. I'm a swimmer. I've worn uncomfortable racing suits. This is the most uncomfortable bathing suit I have ever had on my body. Needless to say, I returned it.
