I purchased this swimsuit in poppy in a size 6, my typical swimsuit size, while my typical clothing size is a 2/4. Being pregnant in the beginning of my second trimester and going on vacation, this suit was perfect to accommodate my growing belly without being and looking like a maternity swimsuit and because of the style I think that this suit will last me throughout my pregnancy. I was able to snorkel and swim in it without problem and while I was worried that it would be see through when wet, it wasn''t and didn''t cling too much. The bust is lightly padded and the added halter strap is removable, but does really not add any added support when attached. Women with larger busts may find that this suit doe not provide enough support, but for women with a smaller bust (A-B) this suit provides plenty of support without making a uniboob. I would definitely recommend this suit for anyone with tummy issues that they wish to hide while still being stylish, and it pairs perfectly with the banded athena bottoms.
