Promising review: "I love this bathing suit! I'm tall and curvy, and let me tell you this suit really makes me feel very sexy. It's hard to find a bathing suit in stores because they always turn out too short but this fits. I can't wait to wear it out to the beach! I feel confident." —F.W.

Promising review: "I freaking love this swimsuit. It fits really well. The suit is perfect and inexpensive. The back closes like a front clasping bra (same sort of mechanism) and the material is nice and thick. I wish the cups weren't padded, but that's just a preference thing. Overall, I love this suit." —holly

Promising review: "I'm in love! Best swimsuit I've bought so far. Shopping for one isn't easy. I still have a little belly from having a child, so I'm very self-conscious about that.

Promising review: "Love the suit. I prefer high-waisted suits these days. Bottoms fit well, top was a bit loose, but really who is the same size on bottom and top? I may just buy another suit a size down for the top cause it's so cheap." —BRITNEY M CHILD

Promising review: "I have been on the hunt for three years to replace the boy-leg suit I purchased from a store I can't remember. A lot of ladies asked where I purchased this suit. I needed something comfortable, non-revealing, and cute. It's a thumbs-up from my significant other. This is also retro-classy. I am so satisfied I chose this." —Terraat

Promising review: "It was a cheap suit but it doesn't feel cheap at all! It doesn't have underwire but it has padding. I have had a child and am always looking for cute high waisted two-pieces or one-pieces that are still fun and attractive. This suit really impressed me and I have purchased many failed suits online." —Sarah Ross
