The "boyshorts" part of the suit is black, and unfortunately it shows through the fabric of the white dotted dress. The black "shorts" are also connected to the body of the suit by very sheer white fabric. The shorts themselves are cut waaay too low, so if I was swimming and the skirt floated up, someone would see what looked like black shorts riding well below my butt and waist, and just sheer fabric in between. To put it more bluntly (sorry), the crack of my butt would be visible through the sheer connecting fabric. Can't really think of how else to put it. It's not possible to pull the opaque part up higher, at least not on me. I do have a long waist.

Otherwise the suit is flattering and cute. However, keep in mind that it's much heavier than a normal bathing suit if you're trying to travel light.

Because of the black modesty shorts showing through the white fabric (and being cut too low to provide actual modesty for my butt while swimming), I'll be returning this and possibly buying a different color. I'd like it if they made these suits with bikini bottoms built in instead of the weird bike shorts, but I understand that most people must prefer it.
