I was very impressed with this swimsuit when I put it on for the first time! I had previously purchased two different sizes of another swimsuit and had been disappointed in them, but that was not the case with this swimsuit!Speaking of not riding up...this is by far the most comfortable swimsuit I've ever tried on. Nothing was too tight (snug, as all swimsuits are, but not tight) and the straps felt nice against my shoulders. I've had problems in the past with halter-style tops pulling on my neck and giving me a headache, so these straps were a very nice feature for me.

The skirt and bottom length is perfect on this suit. The skirt comes down far enough in the back to actually cover my butt, without being so long that it looks odd. The shorts also come to the bottom of the skirt - they don't stick out and look weird, but they're also not too short. The construction also seems to be very nice; the material is nice and thick and I haven't found any problems with the stitching or seams. I have yet to test it in the water, as it's not quite warm enough for swimming yet, but I'm going to feel confident in taking it for a test within the next month or so. I'll also note that I have a short torso and this fit well, but there's also plenty of material to stretch. This swimsuit is able to accommodate a variety of body types.

I highly recommend this swimsuit to anyone - I know I'm certainly excited about it!

Edit: I was able to test it in the water recently, and it held up well. My only complaint is that the bust sags just a little in the middle when pulling myself out of the water, but not enough to show anything important. I think it I were a little more well-endowed it wouldn't be a problem, and really it's probably only me that will ever notice, as I'm looking down as I'm getting out of the pool to make sure nothing exciting happens. Other than that, though, this swimsuit performs lovely in the water! That I wanted to add so that no one would be surprised when buying this swimsuit. I still love it, and keep the five star rating I gave it originally.

This suit is very nice, it fits great and is comfortable. I have not used it in the pool or ocean yet, but I think it will wear well. A nice bathing suit for the price.

Just received it and I already LOVE IT! We will be using this swimsuit for our vacation soon! The color I got is coffee. Fits great! True to size and also comfortable especially for someone like me who is not comfortable in a bikini!

I wanted a bathing suit that was fun! At 70+, it's not easy, but this bathing suit fit the bill! It is flattering (and forgiving!) The little skirt is cute and covers some flaws. The fabric is really soft. Can hardly wait for a chance to wear it!

I guess this is as flattering as things are going to get now. It's a big, heavy suit (in my mid-fifties, I am transitioning from sports swimsuits to more modest beachwear, so I really feel the amount of fabric as well as the number of layers of fabric). It has good coverage without being really ugly. The floral print is cute and feminine. I still enjoy the feminine vibe, though. I like where the hemline hits. I sized up and probably didn't have to, but it still works fine. It's a lot of suit for the money! It's great for going to the beach with kids.
