Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Slimming Swimwear Tankini Top Print

I wore this for one summer in 2020 and the fabric turned yellow where it is suppose to be white. Not sure why this would happen since this was washed by hand

I am sorry to say that after wearing this top only just once ( and just sitting in a hot tub) I realized the design made a very embarrassing air bubble ... I don't know if it was manufactured incorrectly or what...but I certainly will not wear it again.

The item faded in a few short months. Retaining the color in the back half but the front faded from a bright blue and white to a dull purple, very disappointed

usually wear 8, had to exchange it for a 10, still way too tight, could barely get it on over my chest

Fits like skin so it's not slimming just tight. Even in a size larger than my other suits from LLBean, it's still too snug.

This is a beautiful suit but when it got wet it grew 3 sizes. The top gabbed

I had to give this a 1 as 0 was not an option. First I bought size 12 which would have fit my 10 yr old granddaughter. It wouldn't even get pass my shoulder area. It was exchanged a couple of months ago for a 14 which was a little large but I felt I could deal with it. I have worn this suit 2-3 times a week for my aerobics type workout in a pool. It has been thoroughly rinsed out and soaked in cold water immediately following. Look at the picture and you can see where the original color has faded compared to the straps. I bought another suit last May from LLBean and that faded as well. Needless to say, I am very disappointed.

I did not find this suit to be slimming at all. In fact, it made me look bigger than I am (5'3" 155#) The top flips out to the side at the hips and the bottoms like to ride up...and, yes, I had the right size. It certainly doesn't fit like the picture, but she's already slim. Sorry, Bean...sent back for refund.

This item was below my expectations for an LL Bean product. It was very small for a size 16. It certainly was not what was expected and a big hassle to return as I needed it before the end of the month. What happened to true to size for more expensive quality items?
