What's with the underlayer?
Weight: 230-240 lbs
Height: 5'0"
Size Purchased: 20W
Fit: True to size
Tankini pattern is pretty but the fit for a plus size woman is weird and unwearable. Under layer it too close fitting and just rolls up. Top also didn't drape smoothly.

Problem with Swim Suit
Fit: True to size
I bought this suit in Jan for working out in the pool at the gym. The suit has started falling apart. The suit material is fraying and losing color. It is more gray than black.

Ordered two LL Bean tankini tops, both according to the sizing chart, which says I should be a 14. The first one I ordered was extremely large and unwearable. This one was very tig

Comfortable & flattering
Weight: 180-190 lbs
Height: 5'6"
Fit: True to size
I LOVE this tankini top! It is so comfortable I forget that I have a bathing suit on. It provides great support for activities without any Janet Jackson moments - even when diving

Unexpected underlayer
I didn’t like this top. There was an under layer that was very tight so it was very difficult to get on and off. I returned it.

Awesome purchase
Super comfortable and flattering. I love the undershirt like part to tuck into swim bottoms. I wear an 18 and purchased a 2X and it fits well maybe a little loose but I like that.

Slimming-not
There is a tight slimming fabric in front which is very hot, and made the swim top feel too small. The gathered fabric detail below the bust was unflattering, detracting from the “
