Swim Suit
Rating:
I would honestly give the swimsuit 9 out of 10. Here goes for a size 16 being worn by a very pear shaped female.
I love the look of it with the panels which are flattering .
The outer material seems to be water repellent so it dry’s quickly which is great when you swim most days
The bottom looked comfortable and not cut too high although when I first put it on I was convinced it would ride up as I moved as it felt as though it was cut just a fraction too short. These fears proved groundless as it stayed exactly where it should when I walked in it before swimming and after at Pentewan, when I was swimming and when I drove to Porthpean wearing it. Didn’t move an inch which was brilliant. However the initial feeling that it would ride up would effect whether I brought it or not when trying it on in a shop as I wouldn’t know it stays put so beautifully.
The shoulder straps are comfortable to move in while swimming breast stroke and crawl or playing in the larger waves. Often I have a fight to keep straps up or have to wear them quite tightly to keep them in place but these fit nicely.
The cut under the arm is large and again comfortable to move in – no chaffing in this costume but that might effect the next point
The bust fitted me exactly and wasn’t too loose or too tight. However I did wonder if I was a bigger chest size ( I’m an average 36C ) would it still be cut enough to hold my chest securely – maybe like the rear it would stay exactly where it was but a more well endowed lady will be able to answer that. I did feel though at first that it might be an issue but again no perfect
In short I really love the costume and scored 9 out of 10 by being picky .
