works for pre and post pregnancy
I bought this swim ... my stylish daughter. she was able to use it up to the end of her pregnancy and after the baby too. Looks great no matter what your belly is like. Great product!
I love It!!
I am heavy chested and this ... has super great support. I will not need a bra and everything looks great! And I am fussy!! I bought swim suits from athleta last year and have bought several things since, dresses, shoes, skirts and this years swim suit. Everything is beautifuly put together and I get tons of compliments! I truely shop Athleta first!!!
Cute ...
I am 5'8" and 150lbs+, large fits me well with room to spare. I bought the purple and it is bright but a great, fun pop of color. I would consider this a swim material. The neckline is great and can be adjusted to flatter your particular shoulder width.
I LOVE THIS ...
I am in love with the quality of all the athleta swim dresses that I have ordered. They are supportive, and very well made! I ordered the green and am very pleased with how pretty it is! I love how it fits, it is very slimming. I am a mommy of two and have finally lost the baby weight of the second baby however my tummy will never be flat so this is very flattering. I also love how modest this ... why I ordered it in the first place. I am 5'4" and am around 124 lbs. I ordered the small and it fits perfect. I used to be a B cup but the girls have shrunken since I stopped nursing so I am now and A, and I think that it fits nicely, although I think it would fits just fine if I was a little bigger in that area... Anywho, I don't think you will be disappointed. I wear black spandex shorts underneath and it doesn't show through, like I said very quality, just an fyi.
Just Ok
Cute ... - however I will be returning. The color of the vivid blue is very bright, a bit too much for me. This made me feel a bit too dressy for hanging around town. I wish it was available in a cotton type rather than the swim material. The ... fit throughout the body in a flattering way, I am 5'4" 120lbs. The neckline is cut a bit strange through the armpits. It could fit a bit higher to keep the "girls" in line. Nice support though... If you like to look nice on the beach, a great ... just not for me :(
Great ... through on an go!
I love the neck line on this ... easy ... grab, through it on and go! It hangs well and makes you dinner ready in a snap. I just wished this style ... came in other fabrics than the swim fabric. You can not make this material dressy.
Could do better
This swim ... made for a stick figure with no breasts. Looks cute on the super toned model, not on the real women.
Beautiful color and fabric, but unflattering fit
I bought this ... two different sizes, a petite medium and a regular small. Both fit the same, like a potato sac. If you are looking to hide your mid section then this would be nice, especially because the purple is a beautiful color, the built in bra supportive, and the swim suit fabric comfortable.
Not for me
I'm 5'6", 140#. Struggle to pull on over head. Like many dresses of this kind, makes me look butchy, like I should be posing for muscle magazine. Pads are better out. Great support and great fabric...it's a swim suit. The breaker was that my tummy bulge at age 41 despite being a half marathon runner and yogini, shows unattractively.Return to sender. Gorgeous color though. It MAY BE FOR YOU!
Too big :<
After much debate, and reading other reviews and recommended size charts, I ordered the Small. I am 5 ft 5 inches tall, 121 Ibs, athletic figure, 34B (or 36A) chest. I like a casual, loose fit, which is why I ordered this style but it is just a little too big and hangs too much at the back and sides. Length was OK. Just above the knee. Going to exchange and try the XS. Fingers crossed. Colour is lovely though - more fushia / cerise than purple. Material nice - similar to a swim suit but less lycra. Neck line fab and playing around with the straps gives a slightly different look. Chest support good but you need to play with the cups to get them in the right position first. Great ... throw on to look casual / smart all day / night. Could ... up for sure with nice jewellery / shoes. An eye catcher. Just hope XS fits and doesn't pull around chest or too tight under arm pits. Will let you know!
Too bad....Returning
After reading other reviews, I had high hopes for this ... idea of the ... great. Loved the back detailing with the tie. The material is similar to thin swim suit material. I was expecting the ... more substantial fabric like the Organic Cotton Senorita ... (which I love and wear a lot!). This material may work on some, but it is not forgiving if you have any bumps or imperfections in your midsection[...] It was also cut in a bit more on the sides (either side of the chest) more than I expected it to be. I feel that my dresses from Patagonia (which are a similar lycra material) are better quality--.thicker and wrinkle resistant and better for packing/travel.
