Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

LOVE LOVE LOVE this suit. I had bought two different sizes in this suit because I was unsure of the fit. The blue with white anchors, I ordered in 5x, so this one is going back. The 4x is perfect, albeit a little small in the cup for my 36DDD, but it will work, if you're bigger than a DDD, try it anyway, you might like that look. I measure a 44 bust, 39 waist and 46 hip. This suit flatters all over. What makes it work so well is that it's designed like a tankini, but is one piece, so the bottoms are attached to the suit and the top is attached at the sides, but flows over the bottom. It's lined in the front and the cups are lined/lightly padded so you have structure and don't have to reveal anything. The ruching is extremely flattering and hides all the flaws. The fabric is not at all thick and sometimes my complaint with figure flattering suits is that all the extra material designed to hide everything weighs you down like a ton of bricks. That, and they never dry. This is a thin bathing suit material and it still gives the desired slimming effect. With this suit you can swim without sinking AND look good. Fantastic. I may eventually sew the straps to the back because the halter can be straining on the neck, but the halter also makes the suit adjustable and provide enough support that swimsuits generally don't have. This is a tie halter, not a clip. I purchased this suit in three colors: navy floral (another listing), blue anchors, and red anchors (this listing). The sizing listed on the website is spot-on. Usually swimsuits run small, not the case here. I'm a 14 pant and sometimes 16 or 18 top, the 4X fit me much better than the 5X. Unless you want a roomy suit, order your regular (as listed) size and the suit will fit perfect. I'd do it soon too, because it looks like they're selling out. :-) For the ~$20 price of this swimsuit you absolutely can't go wrong. I was not compensated in any way for this review. This is how the 4X fits me, also I'm 5'2". I turned the suit inside out so you can see the inside. Red is not usually my favorite color, but this is super cute in red!!
