Pearl Sarong Bandini Swim Top

I must have tried on 15 bathing suits before I found the perfect one for me. The panels and the bow camouflage my stomach but are not so billowy that they seem to add weigh. The back is high enough to cover up whatever issues you may have behind you. And the bottoms are not cut too high. This suit totally works for me, although I haven't yet subjected it to water. I have another tankini and the top fills up with water in the pool and I look 7 months pregnant. Or like a balloon. I don't think these panels will do that.

I knew this would be exactly what I needed and payed full price to get it. It covers up exactly what I needed, and white goes with any bottom. I love the fact that the cups are molded and not removeable. It would have been perfect if only I was a little taller - I bought a size S which I needed for my D cup bust, but the XS torso would have made for a little less fabric for my height of 5'1". I am keeping it anyway. I weigh 120 lbs. By the way, you can tie it around your neck for a halter look which I preferred - you do not need the straps that come with it.

I loved how it looked on the model and I read the reviews, but it’s going back. Unlike some of the reviewers said, it made me look thicker than I am. My stomach is my problem area but it didn’t camouflage or suck me in. The extra panel of material that’s supposed to help, didn’t fall well on me. My body type is pretty straight and maybe that’s why. Maybe it looks better on someone with a bigger chest or more curves. I’m 5’4 1/2, 135 lbs, and wear a 34B.

I bought this in white. It is so pretty and flattering. I am over 40, have a bit of a tummy so its perfect. Its fitted/snug in the back so doesn't look maternity. I had a hard time finding something that wasn't plunging or 80+. This definitely fit the bill. I like simple and classic, I can wear it with black bottoms or black swim shorts or can find some striped or patterned ones, it's so versatile. Also the strapless aspect negates awkward tan lines.
