This suit is beautiful! It's well-made of thick fabric and I have no concerns that it's going to fall apart on me. It is probably the best-constructed bathing suit that I own. I'm pear-shaped and a 34B and I wasn't sure if I should order a 6 or an 8. I first ordered the 8 and it fit well, but I sent it back for the 6 and I like it much better on me. In the 8, I felt like it was a little big in the chest, but the 6 is perfect! The ruching hides stomach flaws and the boyleg ensures that you don't have to make a weekly trip to the salon for a wax! It's also a suit that I know my kids won't be able to pull off me when we're playing together in the pool. I love the retro feel, but it's no so retro that it's unflattering. It's quite sexy and I know that it will be a favorite this summer!
