Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Slimming Swimwear Tanksuit Print

I really wanted to love it, but it didn't support a large chest (DD), and was too short in the torso.

This suit would be better for someone needing a long torso It was baggy/loose fitting in the rear.

Lovely suit with great tummy control. Fit great in every way except my 'cheeks' are not covered. The cut allows them too much freedom to escape, and my hips are not large as compared to my tummy. The backside pic on website is accurate-something I didn't notice.

This bathing suit was too large and I returned it. It was a size 6 and I am a size 4 but had hoped that it would fit

This is a beautiful suit, but I have a minimal bottom and it was too loose to keep.

I like full covage of my seat and this suit kept riding up. Bustline had no shape.

The padding in the bra was so large and heavy that the suit got waterlogged while I was swimming.

Loved the design of the suits. But, like another review stated...the leg elastic area is too big. The bathingsuit rides up on the buttocks. The older LLBean suits never had this problem. Unfortunately I had to return both suits I purchased. :(

I liked this bathing suit however, i and many women need underwire support. Otherwise, the chest area is flattened and not supported.

I initially gave this suit 5 stars--and I do still love the fit and how it looks on. But after using it for about a month, the colors changed and it looks very bad(see photo). I wear it when using the warm therapy pool at my gym, I go 4x/wk. I have noticed that my bathing suits have a tendency to fade some--I don't know what they're putting in that pool--but the other LLBean suit I got at least kept the colors true. I hate that olive green that's in it now. I would just wear the other bathing suit I bought, but it's a size larger and I've lost weight so it's too big now. Really disappointed, bathing suits should be able to stand up to swimming pools, they're all going to have chlorine or some other chemicals in it to keep them clean and sanitary.

The fabric was great. The design I don't believe is very slimming. I didn't like how little support there was in the bra. It seemed to push my breasts out at the sides not holding the girls forward, putting them in the way when I moved my arms. I'm returning this suit.

Lined only on the front half. Not "slimming" for my belly, just flattening of the bosom which is not where I need slimming. Returned

The top is way too big, and straps slip off my shoulder. I've always worn size 12 and have not had this problem with other suits.

Pretty swim suit with slimming effect. However, inside lining felt bulky and is attached only at certain points, leaving a large gap near the bra area that would certainly fill with ocean sand. Did not fit well on top, and the nude color lining could be seen from the side. Maybe it would fit someone else better, but I had to return it.

Suit is too big on me and the bra is way too big. Bust is out of proportion. Very pretty color and pattern though.

Very well made and attractive. Not soft on the skin. Funny fit, too much bulk in the fanny. I am 81, 5'7", 137lbs. Didn't return it as I imagine I will be glad to have it later on.

Legs were too high-cut, shoulder straps cut into shoulders and entire suit made of fabric too strongly elasticized. I was surprised it (size 12 Long) didn't fit, because I have been wearing an almost identical suit from LLBean but size 14 Long , when I lost 15 lbs and the suit had become too loose. I was very disappointed it didn't fit. I am thankful for the great return policy, but sorry I had to use it.

Even though this suit was true to size (20W) there were some problems. Leg openings were too large and allowed it to creep up in back with every step. Very uncomfortable. Very heavy due to the layers of construction across the whole front of the suit. Overall, not comfortable for swimming.

The print was pretty and I liked the shirring but there was a lot of excess lining in the bust section that made it uncomfortable and looked bunched up.

I wish sizing wasn't so hit and miss with LLBean. It seemed strange that the smallest size available was 8 because I thought I'd need a 6 if the numbers are used like pant sizes. The 8 I ordered was tight vertically, not in terms of girth. My belly felt fine in it but the shoulder straps were digging into my skin. As I moved around I could feel them start to slide off my shoulders because of that vertical tension. It felt like it was forcing me to slouch. This suit seems designed for people with short torsos.

I bought this suit in January and I loved it. I take a swim class three times a week. Now in March it is already fading badly. I would not recommend this swimsuit.

I don't have a long torso and this suit was too short. It flatten my chest in an undesirable way.

This swimsuit was lovely and well made. I had read that the bra was too big in a few reviews but ordered it any way. This bra would accommodate two large cantaloupes.I've ordered suits in the same size with built in bras and they fit perfectly. Had to return this one.

This is well made. But there's too much material, in front. Too hot to wear on beach and is still wet next day if you get it wet. So. I either sweat or freeze in it

The colors are beautiful and the fabric has a nice touch. The cups are stiff. overly large and uncomfortable.
