I purchased this as a postpartum swimsuit. My body has always been a bit odd, so I had trouble finding a size that fit my torso and also my bust (which is large fr my frame). I had to cut the padding out of the bust section and hem the suit back together to fit my body properly. This is no fault of the manufacturer, but I do wish that would have made the pads removable as this would have been a much simpler solution.

While the swimsuit looked great walking around, I wasn't fond of how it performed in the mater. The dress cover does a great job of hiding less than flattering figures, but once you get into the water, it floats up to the top of the water. It was awkward and uncomfortable constantly pushing down the the fabric that kept drifting up under my armpits. So, I will need to make further alterations and sew little portions of the dress down to the suit underneath.

All and all, it's okay.
