Seabodies Women Halter Mesh Rainbow Stripe Print One Piece Bathing Suit

I was between sizes on the size chart so after reading the reviews I decided to size down. That was incorrect. Although the bathing suit looks good when it's on, it is a TRIAL to get this thing on. Apparently the designers did not anticipate that a person's thighs/hips might be larger than their bust, because pulling the suit up over my thighs and hips takes about three minutes of MacGuyver-diffusing-a-bomb-type intensity. Even when it's on, the chest area is on the tight side. I would probably just be happier if I ordered up, but I got this suit for a specific trip and didn't have time to swap it out.

Good quality. Right size.

This is sized smaller than normal. I ordered up anticipating that, and ended up loving this suit. I would usually wear a small or extra small in women's sizes, and ordered the 8. I could tell when I first pulled it on that it is made to be slimming in the hips, but once it is on it is very comfortable on me. The coverage and shaping of this suit is great and the mesh parts come up high enough to not be too revealing. I think it's really cute-- the only thing I don't like is how visible the mesh seams are on the sides. It is a well-made suit overall though, and the other thing I really like is that there is a full, and comfortable, built-in bra with cups that stay in place and won't get lost inside the material like with lots of other swimsuits. The padding isn't overly thick but it covers what it should and adds a little. Overall it's super cute and unique, and has a good fit, although I would suggest ordering up a size or two. I did receive this Seabodies women's halter straps mesh swimsuit at a discount in exchange for an honest, unpaid review and will update if my experience with it changes over time.
