Polyester swimsuits are hard to find, especially in larger sizes. I paid about $125 CDN to get this suit, but its worth it. It's comfortable, modest, fits well and looks good. The straps where the buttons are are a bit fiddly, but they allow one to adjust the suit length to one's own body length. I wear it to the Y at least 3 times a week. In the past I've paid $60 to $100 for nylon suits that only last 3 to 6 months in the chlorinated water. My last polyester lasted 3 years and is still wearable. I'm expecting the same for this suit.
