Long Chlorine Resistant Square Neck Halter Tankini Swimsuit Top

I would give this zero stars if possible. I knew this was final sale/not returnable when I purchased it but I expected so much more from Lands End regarding the quality and fit. Exterior fabric is not attached to interior bra and the shifting is incredibly bothersome. Don't make the same mistake that I did... hard pass on this!

I bought a couple of tankini tops in this style. They look really cute in the pictures. But, if you need a D cup, it is very uncomfortable. It doesn't matter how tight, or how loose you tie it, it pulls on the neck. I had a sore neck for days after wearing one of the tops to lounge poolside. I thought maybe while swimming it would be better, less work to hold up my head, nope. If you have anything more than flat-chested, it is miserable to wear. The fabric is cute, the design is a nice idea, but it is not a suit to wear all day by a beach or pool. If the top had the same coverage, same style but had shoulder straps instead of tying behind the neck, it would be a much better option.

This is a beautiful pattern and cut, and the quality is good...maybe too good. It is way too thick and heavy for a summer bathing suit. Not only does it have a full lining, but there is also a lot of extra fabric that bunches in an unflattering way. The suit is also very hot and remains wet for hours after use. I literally had to wring it out half an hour after I got out of the water. I wish the product descriptions specified which suits have a full lining. I will avoid suits with this many layers in the future.

I bought this in a regular and a D-cup size that usually fits well. The bra area was awful in both. The regular size was loose and unflattering and very loose, an oddly enough, the D-cup suit fit better there, but with little support, as it still has the small sewn-in soft cup - no wire. The body on both suits was very tight, especially considering the size, which in other styles is just a bit big.
