Customer Rating: Summary: This is a great suit! Comment: I recently gained a few pounds and I just don't feel comfortable in bikinis anymore. I ordered this suit and it fits extremely well. It covers you in all the right areas and is still very flattering. I highly recommend this very cute bathing suit! Customer Rating: Summary: I really like it! Comment: I'm very picky about my swimsuits being a young woman who does not look gook in a bikini. I'm not big busted but full hipped and I think that's the best combination for this swim suit. It creates a very nice silhouette while hiding hips and holding in belly. But I could see how the top could be problematic if you were naturally bigger busted (I think implants would do just fine). I think what I liked best is that when I had it on, I didn't feel like it was obvious I was covering up. I think that might have to do with the daring top.Anyway, I would recommend it. Customer Rating: Summary: Sexy if you're curvy Comment: This suit is a very sexy suit if you have some curves. My problem areas are my thighs and my lower abs. I have a defined waist and I am pleased with my "top" and "bottom". It's just that I have these rather large, dimply thighs that most suits, one or two piece, don't hide and a little poochy lower ab area. This suit does the trick!
Someone mentioned about the soft cup and I agree. There should be more support in the bra for such a revealing top. The skirt is not meant to sit at your natural waist. Imagine where you would take a 'hip measurement'. The seam for the skirt runs just above that by about 1 or 2 inches.
This suit camouflages all my problem areas while accenting my favorite areas. The top is revealing and the skirt seam sits just above my bottom so the skirt swings in the back. I would have given it 5 stars, but there needs to me more support up top. Customer Rating: Summary: The skirt just looks funny on this suit. Comment: I like the top of this suit; the v-neck is very flattering but the skirt ruined it all for me. The skirt has kind of a funny seam attaching it to the ruched middle portion of the suit. For some reason it didn't match up with my natural waist and the skirt looked like I had hand-sewn it on at an awkward position.
The overall effect looked weird; it actually made my hips and stomach look larger and my long legs kind of weirdly short.
Anyway, I ended up returning it and getting a different, more flattering, swimsuit.
Newport News was great about the return and refunded my money quickly; they had great customer service. The suit itself just did not suit my personal build. Customer Rating: Summary: hungry little hippo Comment: This bathing suit would be ideal for women who are thin and petite or tall and skinny. Unfortunately, I looked hideous. I'm size 6 and I felt lik a little hippo or Miss Piggy. The fabric material is strong and very nice. It does hold in your tummy well.
