Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Slimming Swimwear Tanksuit Print

Unflattering. Runs very small. Not sure how this would fit anyone plus sized

I really liked the cut of the suit and the pattern. However the liner color in the front and back of the suit were different colors (front:black, back:white) resulting in the back of the suit looking lighter or faded in comparison to the front of the suit. I am going to have to return.

The bra/bust is horrible, misshapen and unflattering. The back half of the entire suit is fully lined in white, highlighting the backside - significant color change at the side seams. Makes the back look old/worn out.

I bought this and must return it because it has a flaw in the back that makes it so shear, I cannot wear it. I have 3 of these suits which are wonderful, but unfortunately this one is not. Hopefully, this is not a trend with LLBean trying to save money and cutting corners on quality.

The elastic around the legs was of poor quality, the leg openings just flapped around. Have an older version of the same suit, made A LOT better!

Not a great fit, alas. The overall size (18) is right (my usual size- I've bought many from LL Bean) but the bra is too big and the crossover area gaps and straps slide as a result. I like that it has more lining than the last tank I bought, but wouldn't buy this one again.

It runs extremely long. I had to return it. I always wear a 12 Long. I compared it to my suit from last year. It was 3" longer.

Too low of front. I am returning it. Otherwise good quality.

Ordered a 14 as that is what I wear in a dress but the suit was way too loose around the leg openings. I sent it back. Cute suit tho!

I'm average height and this was too short for me. I returned. I had a lot of high hopes for this, but the material was strange as well.

I love these swimsuits and have bought several which have lasted for a year with minimal fading despite using in a swimming pool several times a week, but the dark blue pansy print faded significantly after only 4 times in the pool. The pretty, dark turquoise colors changed to an ugly yellowish brown and the background dark blue is already significantly faded. Something is defective in that fabric and I am returning the suit and the tankini top out of the same material (which shows the original colors)

I have purchased 3 LLBean swimsuits, and have liked them very much. I swim 5-6 times a week in a chlorine pool and they hold up well. I expected this suit to have a similar fit and quality as the tank suits I've been buying. The suit was very good-looking when I tried it on. I proceeded to wear it to a pool party and the top part sagged, bagged and drooped when wet. I wear a normal bra size, and this was embarrassing and disappointing.

The suit just didn't fit. Snug in the midriff but too big in other places .around the rear legs it didn't fit closely, too loose in that area. I think a little too long for my height. . Just generally unflattering

I have this style suit, which I purchased from llbean a few years ago and really liked it. I purchased a new suit in the hopes of replacing an older suit. The new suit arrived. The quality of the fabric is inferior, having less elasticity. The suit has less shape, the bust structure is loose and the arm strap gives no support. In short, the cut of this suit is not flattering for any body. I am sorely disappointed and returned the suit.

I bought two sizes and tried the smaller first; it fit true, but there was no bust support whatsoever. Then I was reminded about larger sizes from LLB. I had purchased a larger swimsuit years ago and over time thought it was too big. Turns out, it was just the bust support ... none.

Power net lining only on the front half with the back half unlined so the side seams pull forward about 2" each side. No slimming effect evident due to lack of back lining. No underwire, so cups stretch vertically and flatten without lift. Attractive fabric and styling defeated by poor structural design. Bean needs to step-up on the structural support that this style should provide. Not competitive with other "slimming suits" for the price. Sorry I waited weeks for backorder. Returning.
