Can I first just give a shout out to this brand for acknowledging that plus size women do swim and then making a product that works for lap swimming and water workouts?! Thank you!I was really pleased with this suit. This year I was very disappointed with the Speedo brand at Costco which has been my go-to for years. I started a search for an alternative and found this one. I have been happy with it. First, it comes higher in the front so I don't feel like the girls are going to fall out if I have some acceleration off the wall. I also like that it is higher on the sides and modestly cut for the legs. The cross straps in the back are the real necessary items for me. I can not stand suits that don't have this feature as I inevitably end up having to put the strap back up on my shoulder or risk it falling down during a workout. This is a different style cross than the Speedo suits but works just as effectively and feels secure.I ordered the 20W. As a measurement I am 5'6. I am about 42 inches around the widest part of my abdomen and 52 inches across the bust. The 20W fits comfortably but I probably could have gone with the 18W as, with all spandex type fabrics in the water, they eventually stretch a bit. That's why I like the cross straps. The leg holes are wide enough to accommodate good movement while being modest enough that the crotch covers well and doesn't require a whole lot of landscaping and I'm not worried about cheek slippage when I turn, tuck and push off the wall.All in all I recommend this suit. It was a good purchase that accommodates plus size active people and still provides an affordable price point. Win win!Great fit but a little see through in the bum area. Didn’t bother me bc I wore shorts anywayI'm usually a large when it comes to bathing suits but I decided to size up and I'm so glad I did. I am 5'5 168 lbs and it fits perfectly. It's comfortable and cute. Unfortunately I am returning this item because I found another print and style I like better but I would highly recommend it. I have no cons about itGreat value for the price. Fabric is substantial, not thin or sheer. Good coverage without looking frumpy. Bra pads are weird but they’re removable.Wow! I haven’t been this surprised or happy in a long time when it comes to bathing suits. Most bigger women dread buying bathing suits. Especially knowing how much quality usually means $$$$…. I dreaded my purchase at the beginning. My expectations were low. I needed a suit for water-aerobics but I couldn’t see paying $$$ for something that most likely wouldn’t fit comfortably and end up in the back of my car waiting to be returned.Boy was I more than surprised. I didn’t have to struggle getting into it… AND it fit… Holy mama!!!The only issue I had was those itty bitty moving booby pads… ?Yeah, I removed them!Seems “the sisters” got offended with their idea of what needed covering…? Quality and comfort without paying a fortune.I’m curvy and it fits perfectlyFabric is goodI’ve been swimming with it 3 times a week for 4 weeks already and it still looks newI use washer and dryer every time to wash itI consider myself a large but I ordered a size up. I Was really looking forward to a purple bathing suit, but the color is actually BURGUNDY. Not happy, I'm only keeping because it fits really nice, doesn't make me look fat, fits large bust, and the back is cute.On my other suit from this company the front and the back. I expected the same for this but it didn't happen. I am not sure it will hold its shape either. Right now
