THIS IS THE ONE TO GET! Look no further, friends!
I'm writing this long LONG review in the hopes I can save others from a 2 week trial of research, ordering and returning. I'm going to Disney World next week and to one of their water parks, you know - the kind with fast water slides, a lazy river and a wave pool, etc. AND ICE CREAM! But I digress . . .I'm in my late 50s and don't want to look like a frumpy person, and needed to put together a swim outfit that is SUPER comfy, won't ride up or fall off, is reasonably cute, and covers a lot of skin so I don't burn to a crisp (in spite of sunscreening myself in a 2 inch thick layer of the stuff.) I've ordered and sent back 4 other skirted swim bottoms - because they pull on my tummy and make me look 6 months pregnant. (That would be the immaculate conception, not happening.) This one ACTUALLY looks cute, does not emphasize my tummy, is tight enough to not fall off and comfy! I'm 5'9" and weigh around 170, with (as I've said 8 times already, lol) a noticeable belly. The ruffles or tiers on this skirt are the magic -- they fall away from the body so they balance out the belly, thus making me look smaller there than I am. (Hey, yes, love your body as it is!! For sure! But also if there is something I don't love so much, then I want to camouflage that when possible.) I usually wear a size 12 in most pants and the Large fits me well. This also seems to be the most durable-feeling and high-quality of the bottoms I ordered. In case, like me, you need a top to go with this, I got the tankini called the Tempt Me High Neck Tankini Top with keyhole neckline. It's PERFECT with this swim skirt and so cute! I also picked up a rash guard, full zip top. I got the LURANEE Women's Zip Up Rash Guards for Women Long Sleeve Swimsuit UV Sun Protection. I got a print with black and it looks like it's a coordinated outfit that was sold together, super cute and hopefully keeps me cooler with something covering my arms. You can leave the front opened all the way or zip it up for the water slide action! :) Hope this review is helpful. It took me a few weeks of research and ordering things and sending them back to get something cute and flattering for my body shape (hourglass, approximate measurements are 40, 35, 41 . . .this set I put together is the bees knees! (and now I want to know the origin of that saying) Happy Swimming! Or Water Parking! Read more
