Rated 5 out of 5 by Glissando Wonderful Design
This bathing suit has so much going for it! The design is a classic but updated with the empire lines. It fits beautifully and whats more, it is comfortable. I know I will not be self-conscious in this bathing suit. In addition to great style, it is made so well and will hold up to an active day by the pool or on the beach. You thought of everything with this suit.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ChiRoz I really wanted to like it
I've got a swimdress similar to this from LL Bean that is quite old so I really wanted this one to be the same. Although it is well made, I am returning it for 3 reasons. First, there is almost no support for my bust, even with adjusting the straps there was still too much bounce (I'm a 38C). The suit fit just fine through the middle but when it came to the bottom, it was oddly too big. I say oddly as it was the rear of the leg openings that were almost hanging and not snug around my bottom. Then there was the skirt part of the swimdress -- way too much materia in the Size 12. Measuring the bottom of the skirt when laying flat, the bottom opening is 8 inches more than my old swimdress and a swimskirt bottom I have (measuring both the front and back). This makes the dress look way too old-ladyish (and I say this as a 64 year-old woman). I was also afraid that with so much material the skirt would be floating at the water line and would make it impossible to swim.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Owz9964 Empire swimsuit
this is the first suit I have bought in years. I was hoping for something I would be proud to be seen in and not self conscious. This suit is just the ticket. It is true to size, comfortable but most of all makes me look great. It disguises my "mommy tummy". It is well made and arrived timely. Fashionable but discreet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nwlloyd Very flattering
As any woman knows, finding the right bathing suit is a challenge. This suit is extremely flattering. It is not so full as to be misconstrued as a maternity suit, and, yet, it is full enough to cover problem areas without clinging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lakepat Excellent fabric quality, fit
Bought this suit for a recent trip with a bit of trepidation. Always concerned about fit when buying on internet. I was more than surprised that it not only fit, but the quality of the fabric was outstanding. Going to look smokin this summer at the lake

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1956chink Good Purchase
I swim almost everyday in the summer, so I wanted a modest swim-sult that also looked smart & hid the flaws of a 75 year old body. I am tall (5'10"), so not every suit works well on me, but this one seems to do the trick.

Rated 5 out of 5 by swimstar Love this!
This is the first time I have spent good money on a swimsuit. I usually keep them for about five years though. This is how I rationalized spending the money. It is wonderfully made and is very slimming. I can't wait to jump in the water with my new suit!

Rated 5 out of 5 by orchard babydoll/empire waist takes eyes OFF the hips!
I am a "pear" shape, and this is the first one piece suit that has worked for me! I recommend the long to provide a longer skirt. The straps are adjustable. Loved the first one; ordered a second.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CleoBunny Too small, ordering one size up
Well, I thought I was a size 8 but apparently not (5'2", 125 lbs). I like the general fit and fabric, but too much of me is squishing out the back and sides, and I'm a fairly fit person. I just reordered in a size 10. We'll see...
