I am a very active swimmer, and go through regular spandex swimsuits ridiculously fast, so I need a polyester competition-style suit. This was the first (and so far, only) PBT polyester suit made with underwired cups anywhere near my size, so I pounced as soon as I found it.
Unfortunately Zoggs did not make this style in a 28 band, so I purchased a 30GG instead of my usual 28H. The band runs MASSIVE - more of a 32 or even snug 34 than a 30. I had to remove nearly 4 inches of band to get to a comfortable size, and I think I would ... prefer the band even tighter
The bra is distinct from the rest of the suit, like a bra sewn in to share straps with a regular suit, so it is fairly easy to alter the band size without affecting the fit of the rest of the body. The body of the suit runs more true to size than the band. While the body is looser on me than I would prefer, it is definitely wearable even though I was wearing a size up.
The swimsuit fabric is quite thin, even compared to other polyester suits I have tried. It will likely feel flimsy for people who are used to the thicker feeling of spandex suits. However, polyester suits like this one are quite durable.
This is an extremely attractive swimsuit. It is body flattering, and the gold and black patterning is chic and stylish. I never expected to look this good in a practical swimsuit!
