The swimsuit is praised for its flattering and comfortable fit, with the ruching and halter design highlighted as particularly flattering features. Customers felt confident and comfortable wearing the suit, which has a modest yet stylish look. However, some experienced issues with lack of bust support or discomfort from the back straps. A few customers also found the fabric less durable than expected. Overall, most customers were very satisfied with the quality and appearance of the swimsuit.
correct size terrible fit, not what I expected from LL Bean

I bought one of these to wear. Then I lost 50 pounds and bought a smaller size, then I gained 20 pounds and bought a third size! No matter what size, it always makes me feel sexy.

My swimsuit “go-to”!
Fit: True to size
This swimsuit is comfortable. I can swim laps and I can also relax in the water. It covers up the areas I prefer to hide and provides support where I need it.

A winner if you don’t need shaping in the abdomen
Height: 5'8"
Fit: True to size
Really liked the styling of this swim dress. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. Would welcome a shaping swimwear option or a tankini version.

The fit and fabric are perfect. The fit is full coverage and skirt is just the right length - not too long like a swim dress. It is the best suit I have had in 10 years. I wish it

The way this swimsuit gathers around the front of the belly, then hangs off given the skirt, is just awful - or was on me, lol. I think for a thinner person this would be spectacul
