Love this plus-size suit!!!
This is one of 2 suits I ordered when trying to find plus-size swimwear, and it is the only one I wear. I am 5'3", 220lbs, wear a 42H cup size, and have an apple-shaped figure. I ordered the 2XL suit and it fits perfectly. To be clear, this suit will hug your body and it won't hide anything, however, my suit is NOT skintight on me. It is extremely comfortable and has held up well swimming in both a chlorine pool and a saltwater pool for weekly lessons these last 5 months. I wash mine with a gentle detergent on a normal wash cycle and hang it to dry. One of the biggest complaints I saw in the reviews before buying was how difficult the suit was to take off once wet. And it is if you don't do it correctly. To remove the suit without ANY struggle: 1. Unzip the suit all the way, 2. Slide the thumb of your right hand under the lapel at chest height, 3. Gathering the fabric of the suit as you go, push your right hand across your chest to your left armpit and then down to your left elbow, 4. Still holding the gathered fabric in your right hand, pull your left elbow out by pulling it towards your body, 5. Remove the suit from your left arm and then the rest of your body. Easy as (store-bought) pie! Other complaints I saw were that you couldn't remove the cup lining without ruining the suit. A word on this; I don't see the point in removing the cup liners. My upper anatomy in no way rests at the height clothing makers think it should sit. However, because of the fabric and make of this suit, I am able to easily put it on and tug the cup linings down to cover the most...ahem "visible" part of that chest anatomy, and it stays there throughout my swimming. Because of this added modesty I wouldn't dream of taking the liners out. I also saw some concerns that the zipper was so long that plus-size individuals were concerned the zipper would slide down when active in the suit. I have never once had the zipper even begin to eek down a centimeter, so I would say this is an unfounded concern if you have the correct size swimsuit. I seriously LOVE this suit! I have gotten so many compliments on it, and I am impressed with the quality. When I get to the point of needing a replacement (or just one in another color) this is the only suit I will buy.
