This suit is flattering. It is difficult to get the back of the suit pulled up as high as it's supposed to go without assistance.I gained some weight after being hit by a car while I was running, so I wanted to buy a suit that had tummy control. I’m self-conscious of my size now, so price was no object. I I bought two swimsuits from Lands’ End because I typically like the quality of their clothes. Both of them are beautiful suits, made very well and are flattering. However, both of them have very itchy cups that line the entire top of the front of the suit. I couldn’t wait to get them off after trying them on. I sent them right back. I found a very inexpensive suit, also on Amazon, that is way more comfortable, doesn’t itch at all, is much easier to get in and out of and is also very flattering. The surprising thing is that that suit is 1/3 the price of this one. If you’re not at all sensitive to fabrics, this would be a wonderful suit, but it did not work out for me.I'll keep this suit, but it ran a lot smaller than other Lands End size 14 suits. i realize it was a petite 14, but it felt more like a tight 12.It’s a very nice suit and it looks like it’s made well however I don’t feel it is size properly.Finding a bathing suit that not only flatters the curves but also provides support to the big breastfed is always a challenge. This bathingsuit does just that! Very flattering and provides some tummy control, soft and non-hiney riding bottoms. The only thing that would make this suit the perfect suit is adjustable straps. I had my suit altered to allow for adjusting the straps to give the added lift my tatas need.For an expensive suit, I was disappointed by the terrible stitching on the bottom area of the swimsuit. It was almost like it was stretched out. It's also relatively see through. I'm disappointed and will not order Lands End again.Will look at getting another in diff color!Great swimsuit.
