Profile by Gottex Women's Plus Size Bandeau Swimdress One Piece Swimsuit - Classic Black Bathing Suit for Beach & Pool

Really cute swimsuit!! My only issue is the side stays are too long. I remedied that by removing the stays.This bathing suit is beautiful. I wear a size 40 D bra, size 18 jeans, and size 14/16 top in Lane Bryant to give you an idea of how this fits. I ordered the size 24 since bathing suits always run small. It really helps hide a lot of flaws and seems to have tummy control. Ordering it larger made it a little longer which is exactly what I wanted to help hide the cellulite thighs. It's very vintage retro and reminds me of something a pin-up like Marilyn Monroe would wear. The straps are removable too but I like them to keep my puppies up. This has molded cups for support as well. The only thing I find odd is that the tag says not to wear sun-tan oil or to get chemicals on the suit...ummm...it's a bathing suit. People will be in the sun with oil/sunscreen and will also be submerged in chlorine...wtf? Also hand wash only. I guess I will have to baby it.UPDATE: I tried this on again and discovered that there wire on either side of the boob area is really pointy through the fabric and it hurts really bad. There is no way I could keep this on longer than 2 minutes. Too bad it sure is pretty.You pay for what you get. I've gotten so this is the only brand I'll buy, the fit and the construction matters. I love how the straps can be taken off when not needed and the suit stays up. The cute flare at the bottom covers what is needed without looking like you are wearing a skirt. I appreciate the fun colors offered; my biggest pet peeve is why would anyone want to wear a black swimsuit - hate them!Beautiful swimsuit. Price is so high but still cheaper than original. Super supportive comfy and cute!I am bottom heavy so the bust was slightly large but I just had someone attach a bra with a slightly smaller cup size in to it and it was perfect. I'm use to this problem so I knew it would most likely happen. I loved the swim suit and was sad that I lost enough weight to have to donate it. It was very flattering and comfortable.Nice suit and good color. The tummy control properties are minimal, it's more about the ruching to conceal. It seem to do the job though. This isn't an issue for most plus size women, but the cups on this suit are huge. I wore it, but I had to fold the cups inward. If you're a D-cup+, you'll probably be fine in it.Same suit from Macys yet cheaper. Great fit, super cute. Great support for large bust, to tugging. Even got one in a raspberry color.I liked the swimsuit but I found the top to be too large. It wasn't very comfortable and I actually swim in my bathing suit. It felt a little constricted. It was very cute on me- it just wasn't going to be comfortable for long wear and swimming.
