Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Slimming Swimwear Tanksuit Print

I like the suit BUT IT needs more room in the butt

The fit and style of the swimsuit are outstanding. The negative aspect is that after five swims the colors of the suit began to fade. It looks dull and washed out.

I ordered size 8- smallest available. In my bedroom it was perfect. After 2 weeks in Puerto Rico, the shoulder straps will not stay up and the extra material in the bust fills up with water when I swim. I will have to pay for alterations. Disappointed

Pretty material. Thick and true to size. Flattering . Cut WAY too low in the front for actual swimming. Had to return.

The quality of the swimsuit looks good and the size fit my bottom half, but the torso is a bit too long and the bust was too big. If you are 5"3 or shorter, with a smaller bust and a pear shape don't bother with this one.

This suit fits well but looks like two different colors when on. Th e back is lighter than the front. should have returned it!

It was well made, but just didn't fit me well. I am usually a petite, but these only come in Miss sizes, which according to the LLBean fit charts said an 8 Regular should fit me fine, but it didn't. Had to return. Would have kept it if it had fit me better. Wish LLBean had high neck swimsuits that had some built-in support, but those styles seem to be only with no support.

I wanted to love it but it was loose on top. It was a poor fit. I am a size 10 in all things ll bean except for this suit. The blue color was great and the shaping around my midsection was also great. Still, it had gaps around the shoulder area. I returned it for a design with adjustable straps.

I purchased size 8. I'm 5'2 and weigh 118 lbs. it seemed to fit when dry. In the water material stretches. I have to pull the shoulder strap up while I'm swimming laps! Sturdy material. Should last long, a long time I'll be uncomfortable while swimming.

This suit was practically see-thru in the back. Fit great and looked good from the front just felt like I was mooning folks from the back.

Love the shape, fit and pattern of this suit. However, the back fabric of the suit is thinner and looks faded compared to the ruched front fabric.

Wanted to love this because the color and wrap style are usually very flattering. However, this suit just didn't fit me well. Not enough room for the posterior

The front does everything it says it does - holds you in, shapes, looks great. The downside is that the back is very sheer. There are extra layers in the front and nothing in the back

Beautiful suit but the leg opening was too loose. Had to return.

I purchased 4 of the tummy control suits over the last 12 months because I started pool exercising in a warm indoor pool. The straps are too loose for me. So I have to stitch the cups together in the middle to pull the straps and better hold them on my shoulders because the straps cannot be adjusted. 2 of the suits I wore the most lost the shape of the front shirring after 6 months and the fabric just hung. The suits lost their shaping and all their color. So they're going in the trash. The fabric is thicker than most bathing suits so I think they lasted longer than other thin fabric suits would have. I'm going to try the Beansport Squareneck Tanksuit with adjustable straps next.

Attractive by the pool or beach walking but has an issue in the water. The roomy, wrapped bodice becomes loose & the orange-brown lining floats out to where it can be seen. Black lining would help & a more fitted bodice for me. I am a size B on top.

I love the suit, however, the right strap keeps falling off my shoulder and I have to tie a cord between the straps in the back to keep them in place.

Like the past few bathing suits in my size, the fit is way too loose at the legs. As usual I have had to reduce the leg openings by about an inch-and-a-half for the sake of modesty/decency. Also had to hand sew the deeply plunging top front to reduce cleavage exposure.

I wish it were a little bit longer still, but the real disappointment is that the curvature under the arms arrived sort of "stretched out" so that it didn't lie flat against my body. The rest of the product is the LL Bean quality that we know and love!

Bottom fit, top way too big. Size 12 in other style fit perfect. nice material and quality. did use their size guide to order but wrong.

I like the suit very much but it's about 1 1/2 inches too long and I still need to find a seamstress who can shorten it for me.

Legs are baggy, could use a stronger elastic to keep them close to body.

It is too big in the bust. I had to sew in a couple tacks to make it fit better

I really love the color. The suit fits well and looks great. Here is the problem. I know that if I swim in a pool or ocean waves, the shoulder straps will slide off. Something like a keyhole neck would be great. I may try the tankini top in the blue color.

Unfortunately I had to return it because it did not fit properly. I am a petite and it was too long so the straps were loose.
