I have looked high and low for a one piece suit to do laps and water aerobics in. I'm not a huge person (5'5", 175, average hourglass shape - that is not over large on top or bottom) but I've had a heck of a time finding a good, well made suit that doesn't break the bank. This one has finally hit the mark. No bra (I'm 42 D), but the shelf liner part is well designed and holds everyone in place. Fully lined, no tugging, modest cut on the legs. I can't speak to the longevity because I've just started using it. I'm in the chlorinated pool 3-4 times a week so we'll see. One complaint...more colors in this size range and style please! Do swimsuit manufacturers think only tiny, lean people swim? Ridiculous! Plus, when I bought it (on sale) there was only one 18W left. I would have bought more had there been any even in a color I didn't necessarily care for just to have a couple of suits that FIT! Come on Sporti make more of this really nice suit.
