As a mom, I mainly wear modest swimsuits because Im typically in a kid/family environment however, I wanted something a bit sexier to wear when my husband I spend the weekend at the casino/pool and this suit is PERFECTION!! The lace detail is definitely more see through than it appears in the pic, IMO, making it stunning! The band around the waist is a great bonus, accents the booty nicelyyyyy!! I received SO many compliments yesterday poolside!
