So let me just say, I bought this black bathing suit for spring break of 2014, it’s 2024, I’m still rocking this same suit!!! I really don’t know how to explain how much I love this thing! First off, I am a HUGE water fan and traveler! And I’m also 5 foot nothing with a gut and ridiculously top heavy. This swim suit literally changed my life! 10 years later and I still feel super confident when I put this on!! It is a suit that u do have to have some confidence to wear tho, u gotta believe that it will keep everything in place, because it definitely will, however, it is “sexy.” I am twice the size and 10 years older than my little sister, but I feel every bit as sexy as she does when I am wearing this suit standing next to her. I can’t explain it, u just have to try it on!! I even wear it as a top with skirts and shorts. It is hands down the best shape wear I have ever worn! If I could wear it under everything I wear everyday, hand to god, I would. I have had so many compliments, and this suit has traveled w/ me tubing and kneeboarding in the Midwest, swimming and fishing in Haiti and the Bahamas, and hiking waterfalls in Kauai and Virginia. I never do reviews, but this piece of clothing has been almost a staple of my 20 and 30s!! Crazy thing is, I’m just now gonna buy another one after 10 years!! Just try it, u will love it!!!
