Review on Elegant Inspired Ruched Monokini Boy-Leg One Piece Swimsuit By EBuddy by John Graves

Beautiful suit, odd fit

This suit is absolutely adorable and I wish I could have kept it. Unfortunately, the sizing is just off. I used the chart given and ordered the size that should fit my body. Here's the problem, I think. These suits are made in China where the women are mostly quite petite. So even to order the size large enough for my size 12 bust, waist, and hips, the body is not proportional. The cute boy-leg cut was obscene when I bent over, hiking up my rear-end for retreat. The bra top, which is substantial and would be beautiful on the right body type, could not be adjusted properly to fit my bust. I would guess these suits will work best for shorter women. If I tied the straps low enough for the bra part to fit comfortably over my bust, it was too loose and I feared everything would fall out under certain circumstances while swimming. If I pulled the traps up tighter, the bottom of the bra ended up in the middle of my nipples and shelving "the girls," as they say, did not keep them in place - there isn't enough support for that. Sadly, this suit did not work out for me. I would recommend it for women who are shorter in stature. I'm 5'7". Perhaps the suit would work better for ladies 5'4" and under. I'm beginning to think it's best to buy American when it comes to things like this for proper sizing.As for the suit quality, it appeared to be well-made, the fabric was stretchy and comfortable, but there is NO support whatsoever. If you need tummy control - and I do - this suit has none. However, this suit does have the ruched fabric so it's a bit forgiving of one's bulges. There is no underwire support or elastic around the bottom of the bra to keep things in place. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I'm looking for new suits for a trip to Hawaii in June so this one would have been perfect if it fit right. :(

Pros
  • It fit well! Have to put a stitch in the chest part because it’s a bit big, made for someone bustier.
Cons
  • Overpriced compared to similar products on the market
