Reviewer: Tracy from California

I just ordered the Hawaiian flowered suit, and after three days of looking for a one piece, for the first time at age 53, and I am so grateful to have found this suit! I have a long torso, not a gymnast-type short torso, and always have to extend bra straps to the very, very end, so this should fit me just right. I love everything about it. It is not sexilicious bedroom stuff, so I can feel comfortable around my family wearing it. It is not old-ladyish, nor garish, nor covered in thick, tight spandex girdles. It is not black. It is not just pink. It is not ugly. It is not weird with cut-outs like a monokini, nor heavy on the neck with straps there, nor New York flash n' glam like a bathing tuxedo. It is simply gorgeous, hip like a tankini, and shows my back to advantage with the wide shoulder straps instead of spaghetti straps. It is exactly as I would have drawn it, and it clearly is designed by California girls who have personal style. To top it off, the red plumeria flowers remind me of my very first swimsuit which was a one piece for swim team, begun at age six. I always wanted to feel like I did about that suit, when finally I had to wear a one piece as I grew in years. That year has arrived. And I feel just like I wanted to about this one piece. Thank you. I love to swim and sun, and I am very, very happy to still feel hip, and fun, and sunny. It is every bit as pretty as any bikini, and I've had some beauties. Ciao, bella!

I bought one of these suits in black while traveling recently, and like it so much that I ordered one in the thistle color from Zappos. It feels sleek and tailored, and the seaming on the cups adds shape and femininity. The removable pads in the cups are neither too thick or thin. I like the fact that the lining is of the same fabric as the suit - no different colors like you often see in shelf bras. And finally, it is made in the USA by a company founded by two environmentally-aware women in San Francisco who give back to the community.

So pretty! I am 6 ft tall, small up top and hippy down below (to put it mildly!). I ordered this and the Miraclesuit Oceanus and this was by far the winner. Very flattering across the middle and the XL was long enough to fit comfortably without riding up. One note though - my hubby asked why it was all "wrinkly" across the middle so I had to explain the concept of ruching. I don't think it looks weird and my teenage daughter and her friend both gave it the thumbs up! I think it is a very sexy suit and it gives me a lot of body confidence.

I really like this suit, but the straps are too long. I'm not short (5'7") but I would need to take the straps in about an inch in order for this suit to fit correctly. If the straps were adjustable at all I'd keep this suit because it fits great everywhere else.

Should have ordered a size down like other reviewers mentioned. I'm not a small girl. At 5'7" and full figured (160lbs) a large is what I wear. Not in this suit. Going to return it for a medium. The quality is amazing and the price is great too!

Beautiful suit. I tried it on and it looked great. I did order a size down as the reviews suggested and it fits great.

Hallelujah, I finally found a new suit to fit my freakishly long torso. I'm 5'8" but torso is the same length as my husband's who is 6'3". I have an incredibly hard time finding full piece suits to fit. My trusty black Speedo shrank in length after too many washes in Woolite. This one fits beautifully. I'm a true size 10, but ordered both the medium and the large, opted for the large because the torso fit was incredibly comfortable. Let's hope it holds up in the pool/at the beach!

Looks and fits great. Seems to be quality made. Hate that the straps are not adjustable so I will have to shorten them to keep the bra from being a bit too loose. Haven't worn it in the water yet. Bought it or a trip to the Keys in September.

The previous reviews were helpful - its is a flattering suit, you do need to order a size down (I wear a 4/6 and a x-small fits), and the straps are too long (Carve, take note.) I also found the the cups were too heavily padded, but I can live with that. For my 45+ y.o. body, this is a great find.

I really wanted this suit to work. I tried it in an XS and S and the fit was nice in both. However, no matter how much I tried I could not get the girls to stay in properly. It is not a good for for someone who is full on top. Gorgeous suit though. Fabric is soft and very stretchy.

These shoes are SEXY. PERIOD. Advice- 1) Zipper hurt on 1 foot, they will break in... small price to pay for sexy legs. 2) HALF SIZE LARGE (order a 1/2 size down from usual size). If you order 1 size down they wont fit. That's it.

Gorgeous shoe, especially love the unique stacked wedge. They look great with both skinny jeans and dresses and I have received many compliments from both men and women. I have walked many New York blocks in these, and I found them to be reasonably comfortable and durable. Even though they rubbed a bit in the back at first, it was nothing that a pre-emptive bandaid couldn't help, and as I have worn them more, the leather has softened. I am a very narrow size 8, so I sized down to a 7.5 in these and they are perfect. I will be sad to put them away when the weather cools down. Thanks Zappos!

These shoes are really comfortable! I don't be scared of the height. They're so much more comfortable than heels and they definitely don't make your feet wobble (this happens with stilettos a lot for me). Plus, they look really really stylish! The quality is really good. The wooden stacked heel looks really nice and the quality of the leather is pretty good! In my humble opinion they can compare with top dollar YSL platforms. I'm going to add rubber soles on the bottom so they can last longer. But yeah men love these as well. I've gotten so many compliments on this shoe, all from men. If you love this shoe, you should definitely take a look at wedges from Cynthia Vincent's. The vibe of the brand is similar and they're also in the same price range and they are super comfortable as well!

I really love these shoes, I think they are gorgeous. But as a size 9 with narrow feet, the 9 fit in length but the straps were much too big for me, to my dismay. I am returning them but may think about buying them at a later date and pay the money to have the straps tightened by a cobbler. Really nice sandals!

These are probably one of my favorite pairs of shoes. They are so comfortable, no pain anywhere, they provide excellent support, are absolutely gorgeous, and they go with just about anything. They are just perfect! I get compliments every single time I wear them. I thought they were a tad expensive, but they are worth every penny.

I absolutely love these shoes! I wear them all the time. You can dress them up or wear them to more casual occasions. They are pretty expensive, but worth it. You've got to have a brown shoe in your closet, and this is the one. I always break down the worthiness of the shoe (or bag, etc) by dividing the price by how many times I've worn it until I get to something I'd be willing to pay to wear them just once - then I know I got my money's worth.

Reviewer: Stephanie G from Miami, FL

I LOVE these shoes & can't believe how lightweight they are. They truly do make your legs look much longer than they are. Because they're so light, they're much more comfortable than some of the other wedges I own. I can see how the shoe might be a little uncomfortable in the back, but it's nothing a preemptive bandaid can't fix (as another reviewer pointed out). The price is a little steep for the shoe, but I can see myself wearing these enough where it'll be worth it in the end.
