Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Slimming Swimwear Tanksuit Print

This swimsuit is lovely and fits really well. I wore it for pool exercise and laps only for a couple of weeks before it unfortunately had faded and stretched out enough so I could no longer work out in it without having to check myself for modesty during classes. I'm disappointed because I do like the fit and color.

I used the garment for ten pool sessions and the fabric on the stomach region faded, the other areas not as much.

I really wanted to like this suit. It's cut nicely so that it's not super revealing but also isn't ultra modest. And I love the print -- bold colors and a lovely tropical design. But the fit is odd, as the top was too large and the bottom too small. I realize it's a compression suit, but it didn't fit like any of the other compression suits I own. This one went back.

Pretty suit, but very short in the body. Bending over in it was not pleasant.

The top of the suit is too big andthere is too much fabric in the bra area. I have to keep repositioning the straps to keep them on top of my shoulders. Almost feels like the bra expands when it is wet.

I ordered the smallest size 8 but it is just huge on me, making me feel dumpy.

I'm 5'6", weigh 175#, & usually order size 18 or XL from LL Bean. I ordered a size 18reg--the bottom fit great, and I liked the abdominal support, but unfortunately the top provided no support at all--it was like my breasts were hanging loose in a bag, and the straps wouldn't stay put even standing in my bedroom, let alone swimming.

Why, oh why, can't they make swimsuits with enough elastic in the leg openings so that the suit doesn't ride up in the back? It's such a common complaint with women's swimsuits, you'd think they could solve the problem. Also, with this particular suit, the arm holes are too large, so the suit bags out in front under the arms.

I bought this suit in December. Have worn it twice a week, most weeks, since then, for aquatic exercise at our community natatorium. It's fading quite a bit. Maybe this is the length of time they're designed for? I'm disappointed.

The pattern and colors are beautiful, better than the photos. I wear a M shirt but always buy L swimsuits because I have a long torso. I was excited to buy this in L long thinking it should fit great, maybe even a little big. It fit like an XS I could barely get it on. The torso was barely long enough and the thigh holes are pinching tight. Sadly the top and stomach actually looks really good but the rest was way too tight. 5'-6" 150 36B

Beautiful colors and style but not full coverage in the rear. This was an unusual issue for me in this type of suit and I was very disappointed.

Size and shape were great but lost a lot of color and unusable in public

I didn't like the sewn in bra-it was too rigid....

Fabric and design are great, but the "tall" is still miles too short, and I am only 5'9. I sized up as much as I could but still far too short. Can you please make a one-piece that would actually fit even a moderately tall woman?

I'm super glad I went to the store to try this on. Sometimes I don't trust your reviews. The fabric that covers your backside, when on, is super, weirdly sheer. While I love the pattern and a couple of these styles, it's a no go with the back Issue.

The lining is too thick and the workmanship is poor.

I love LLBean clothes and have purchased many items, but this swimsuit had to be returned. Overall it fit well but not around my legs. The elastic was not snug and it was uncomfortable.

I returned this bathing suit because when I put it on, the fabric was stretched to the max in the back of the suit and looked like it was ready to burst. The front of the suit fit nicely. I have purchased a few of these bathing suits in this style from L L Bean before, all size 10, and they all fit great.

I am returning this swimsuit. The front was lovely, fully lined with crossover styling. The back panel was not lined, and as the fabric stretches it becomes sheer and the color lightens. When you turn sideways, you can actually see the difference between the front and back along the side seams.

I liked the print but the tan layer underneath hung over the top part of the suit when wet and looked awful. I would have sent the suit back but I was unable to return it.

I just purchased a suit and the arm holes are saggy. I spent over a hundred dollars on it and it's not fitting right. I purchased two different sizes and the 8 is ok but it doesn't fit like it should. I have never been disappointed in anything I purchased from you. I wanted to look great for our trip to Jamaica. I'm sad because I don't know what to do. Michaeline

I purchased three bathing suits and had to send them all back because there's not enough elastic in the leg and it looks and feels terrible. I like the styles, colors and patterns but the lack of elastic is a deal breaker for me.

Swimsuit has a hole in it after 3 weeks of wearing.

Not that great. The bottom half fit nice, the top fit very strange. It gave "the girls" no shape whatsoever. If you look at the model in the picture, I just thought maybe she was built that way. When it came I tried it on and nope, it's the way the cups are made. It just looks weird.

I am so disappointed. I have an older LL Bean bathing suit in a size 8 but this one in a size 8 was too big in the top! But that wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't realized that these suits don't go below size 8!! I don't understand why not and again, I am so disappointed. I really loved the suit, otherwise.
