I am almost 70, 5' 11' and about 250 pounds. I bought one of these suits a few years ago from another vendor. My partner loves this suit and complements me on it every time I wear it, which is frequently.
We travel to another state every week and usually swim in the hotel pool. It has held up remarkably with frequent use.
It's something about the weight of the fabric, the built in bra and the stomach drape, but this is the only suit I've e very worn that makes me look thinner and better than I usually do! The "skirt" doesn't get weighed down as with a swim dress, and the whole effect maximizes my best feature (my legs) while skimming over my worst ("apron" stomach roll). Because the fabric isn't clingy, it all works,.
I've used it on and off for several years and it still looks brand new. I have never found another one online that is anything at all like it, and several vendors were sold out, so decided to order a couple more. I got a blue and a black and they are both pretty. The old blue suit's "replacement" looks exactly like the new suit.
I have a long torso and large breasts (H cup) but this suit fits well on the last button and provides great coverage.
Very pleased and relieved to have found these replacements! This is a great suit.
I agree with others that the buttonholes and button closing is less than ideal, but reading these reviews I'm aware it's probably the only practical solution for flexibly closing a suit not made of lycra. Since this is apparently why the suit is so flattering, I'm happy to put up with it.
