I am very happy with this swimsuit. I ignored the recommendation to order a larger size and I'm glad I did. Order your normal size. I initially purchased in pink, it was a beautiful, vibrant pink, but I changed to the green, just to have something different. The green is a rich emerald green. The top covers my breasts nicely and the straps are sturdy and easily adjustable. The bottoms offer just enough tummy control. This two piece can be worn by young and old. I have not gone swimming in it yet; I will update this review if anything changes when I do. For now, I don't think you can go wrong with this swimsuit.I am 5'6 and 250lbs. I usually look best in outfits that are fitted around the middle and flow out by the hips, because my waist is thinner but my hips, thighs, and bust are larger. This swim dress fits perfectly! I bought the same style in a few colors and patterns and found this one to be the most flattering - the white/black pattern on the top draws your eye upward, while the slight ruching in the fabric below the bust accents the waistline before the skirt flows out at the hip. The straps are easily adjusted, though even on the 'tightest' setting they don't offer quite as much support as I would like. I also wish the cups were a bit firmer to provide more support. I do like that the straps are wider and soft, they don't dig in like the thinner straps of other tops. And even though I with there was more chest support, it still does a great job of holding everything in. I wore this swim dress with longer shorts (with pockets! ATTRACO Women's Long Board Shorts High Waist Swim Bottom Solid Jammer Swim Shorts on Amazon) for a full day at the beach and boardwalk. The dress comes down to just above the knee and was comfortable to wear in the water, on the beach, on the boardwalk, to a nice restaurant, and for the long car ride home. I love it! I especially recommend THIS pattern and wish they made more of the others the same way - pattern on the chest and solid on the dress.*Be aware - the Cherry pattern dress I ordered arrived with a hole where the seam was not properly sewn. For some reason, it won't allow me to review that one separately.I love everything about this swimsuit and will definitely be ordering it in other colors. I got the red, white, and blue one. My best friend ordered one in a different color too and loves hers. We both wore them to a gathering of a bunch of friends at the beach in Port Aransas, TX, and received so many compliments and requests for where to buy them. They are super comfortable. The bra part fits perfectly and the adjustable straps are comfortable and help to get the bra to fully support. The bottoms are very comfy too. Length of the top is enough to cover your bottom. I am so glad I took the chance on ordering this and the price is great too!I bought this bathing suit for mixed-age swimming events so that I looked "mom appropriate" but also still cute. It definitely delivers! It's so super flattering! The fit is amazing and comfortable. I don't feel self-conscious or on display when playing with kids or lounging around with teens, grandparents, and others spouses! It is a little stretchier than I thought it would be and I probably could have sized it down, but then I don't know if it would be as tummy flattering. The material is thick so that you don't get those weird body lines under it either! If I happen to lose weight before next summer I will definitely order another!Love it but the straps are to stretchy and keep falling. I’ll change the straps to cross in the back to fix this. Also the bottom lining and outside are sewn together so the crotch area doesn’t have the panty lining I expected. It comes together like shorts…The only thing, I wish the shorts were connected to top with inner liner so when in water my stomach would not show.Flattering hides tummy very well. Front tends to show more cleavage on larger busts. Mine had a manufacturing defect on one of the rings that held the strap to the body of the suit. It wasn’t soldered shut and eventually snapped in half after too many times of the strap having to be put back in the ring. I’m a 5’1 curvy girl and the hem came to just above my knees.I was a little skeptical about ordering this tankini as I haven't had much luck with them before. I liked the size chart they provided on the site, it was exactly what I needed. I wear a 14 in all my suits and after reading the reviews and checking the size chart I ordered the 14W. I wear a 36D bra and the cup size and fit were very important to me. To be honest, I was expecting to have to return it. It arrived a couple of hours ago and when I tried it on I was amazed. It looked nice on, fit better than any other suit I've had before, and was incredibly comfortable. The boy shorts are very generous, stretchy, and they actually fit perfectly. The came up high enough so that if the skirt rises, as they usually do in the water, all you will see are the black shorts. I love this suit so much that I went right back to Amazon, searched the suit by name, and ordered it in another color. BTW, my husband, who really never says much other than "it looks nice" was really pleased with the look of this suit on me. He suggested I order another couple of them in different colors! I would recommend this suit for anyone who wants to look like and feel good in a bathing suit again.Lovely product but would size upFinally, a bathing suit that fits and is flattering. Weight 170 lbs, height 5"6', age 50, have had 2 children, and gravity is not on my side. I love that the bathing suit is two pieces. The shorts have everything fully covered and adds stomach support. The top is flattering, especially through the stomach area. The bust area has amazing support and nothing is showing at the sides and is not low cut. The straps also are wide and provide additional support without digging in. Such a wonderful bathing suit that I will feel comfortable wearing in public. Well-made and well-designed. I just bought another one! Size 12 plus.I like reading the reviews before I buy something and love the detail in some of them so I am returning the favor! I am 5'4, 255lbs 46 bust, 38 waist, 50 hips and I order the 20plus. I am more of an hourglass shape with big bust, smaller waist, big hips and big thighs. I wish I had ordered the 18W size as I find the material to be very stretchy but ultimately I am satisfied! Ok, here are the Cons: It says its a wireless push up bra with adjustable straps, but because the material is soo stretchy the straps do nothing to hold up my chest. It's definitely does not come close to a push up like what you would get buying a pushup bra as the pads are also very thin. The shorts that come with it are OK. They are very short shorts and because I have larger inner thighs the shorts don't cover well. The Pros: The best thing about this dress is the length! I have a long body and short legs and the length of this dress hides my upper large thighs well. It is very comfortable, the stomach area is flattering, it doesn't feel like ultra cheap material, and the color is as it shows on the pictures. The material is not clingy towards the bottom of the dress and feels like regular thickness bathing suit material. I will be ordering from this company again in the future!The bathing suit itself if fine. Not awesome, just fine. Theres not a whole lot of support in the bust area, so I have to wear a sports bra under it.The main issue I have is that the company just doesn't respond. I ordered the army green colour twice, and each time I received a polka dot pattern. The 2nd time I placed the order Amazon customer service assured me I would receive the right colour. When I didnt, they told me to reach out to the company, and I have yet to hear back.Well constructed. Could have used a size smaller but fits not too bad. I would say right on size! looks very nice on. Love the 2 pieces, so much easier to get on and off. Will buy another next year!
