Love this suit! I actually feel good in a bathing suit for once. Fits a wee bit small so order up a size.

Wore 3 times and under wires popped out
I bought this suit in February for vacation, wore it 3 times and was very happy with it. Tried to wear it again now that it's summer and both of the underwires have popped out. For the price of this suit, it absolutely needs to last longer.

Carmela is probably as good as we can hope for.
I haven't worn it into the water yet, but it fits OK. Larger cup size options than DDD are definitely needed!

Fading already
I started wearing this suit to the pool about a month ago and it’s already beginning to fade. It’s still holding its shape but I feel it won’t last more than a few months. The wiring began to protrude and I removed them.

This swimming costume fits my bust better than any swimming costume I have had before . I feel very secure in it without it being too tight. Because I’m only 5’1” I do find it a bit long for my torso. But anyone normal height would find it a great fit all round. I wish You would make it in a petite size with the under wired DDD for me that would make it fit perfectly.
