Rated 1 out of 5 by WIBenedicts disappointed
My daughter LOVED this suit. After a week at the beach/pool and five more weeks of swim club, the suit has completely lost its shape and color. It is very baggy and the white shapes have turned beige. I've hand washed the suit each time, but out of desperation (and hope for some shrinkage), I threw it in the washing machine on delicate cycle. No improvement. So disappointed that this suit will not even last one season.

Rated 4 out of 5 by tsspar used for swim team practice
this suit has loosened up a little but that is why my daughter likes it for practice. not at tight as her compitition suit. so far it has held up, she has two, for a month of 3x a week practice and at least 2x a week of play both in the pool and lake.

Rated 3 out of 5 by SunnyinLansing Runs small
Was really excited to see the great price on the suit. My daughter is 8, and because of her height, 10 is fitting great for her so I ordered a 10. This suit fit her like a size 8 suit. Unfortunate that it is sold out, or I would have exchanged for a 12. I would recommend for a friend, although I would tell them to size it up.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Landsendbuyer Excellent coverage
Love the coverage of this suit. Loved the fact that it was completely lined, front AND back. Has held up very well-4 days a week in the pool, sun and washer and still looks brand new. Disappointed that the legs didn't have more elastic. My little one is full in the bottom and it still showed more cheeks than I prefered. Add more elastic and I will be a lifetime buyer!!

My daughter probably wore this suit only 5 or 6 times before the outer layer of fabric started pulling away from the binding/trim on the t-back. I'll be returning it. I'm giving 2 stars though because we bought the same suit last year and that one has held up well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by formygirls best swimsuit ever!
I liked this suit onlne, it looked like a suit that I have been buying from another company for years, but they stopped making them. So I bought this suit and liked it right out of the package, nice feel, good thick fabric, great. My 10.5 year old was just okay with it, until going swimming, she said "I love this swimsuit, I do not have it pull it up and down or fix the straps ever." I was so happy I ordered a second one. Bonus, I have been was washing them for week now and the sunscreen does not discolor or stain the fabric!! The pattern suits are nice for a budding girl.

I do not know what people are talking about, I got this suit for my daughter and she wears it in the pool almost everyday. I make sure I wash it after each swim day to get the chlorine out, and do not put it in the dryer, or do not leave it in the sun to dry. It is a wonderful suit and my daugther says its very comfortable.

I bought this suit in a size 8 for my 6 ½ year old daughter. It seemed to fit fine when she tried it on, but as soon as she got out of the pool it instantly rode up in back. Since we are not interested in ?cheeky bottoms?, I am planning to return it. Usually LL Bean products are higher quality, especially their children?s clothing line.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Riverbank Please continue to carry this item
Some of the reviews would have you believe this is a terrible swimsuit. For us, nothing could be further from the truth, and we hope LL Bean continues carrying it. Our active 3-year-old daughter used it extensively last summer, in the pool and ocean, and it still looks and functions great; no stretch and very, very minimal fade. We just tried it on her tonight, and it still fits, so we"ll be using it again, plus ordering another one for her summer school. As some reviewers have said, it's become harder to find a classic, modest suit, and we'd add, without a gaudy pattern. Speedo and others seem to have abandoned this market. Other features we like: very easy to put on, no slip shoulder straps, minimal ride-up. The Lycra is lined and substantial. Plus, this swimsuit in fuscia just looks great on her! We urge LL Bean to keep on carrying this item despite the low rating; we'll be buying it annually.

Rated 3 out of 5 by IMShort poor fit
I should have listened to other reviewers who said the butt was too big and saggy. To me it seemed like it is cut for a fuller bottom and the leg openings are too large - so it leaves a big gap at the back of both legs and through the crotch. Swim suit manufacturers should realize little girls have no figure - they go straight down from arm pits to thighs. If you don't have a string bean child, you might have better luck. I wish it fit because I like the style otherwise.
