Review on Daci Racerback Boyshort Swimsuit Tankini - Women's Swimwear & Cover-ups by Lara Kaye

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots of mixed thoughts.

About me: I have been swimming laps 3 times a week for 45-60 minutes without a break for about 4 years. 5 feet 4 inches. At Old Navy I wear XL or XXL shirts and curvy jeans 18 depending on the cut, at Torrid I fluctuate between 1 and 2 for tops and I'm 18 in trousers, which generally fit well. You know how can you exist in that size and be fit and healthy, that's not allowed! Most of the swimsuits I've bought from Swimsuits4 in the last 2+ years. They noticeably increased the prices/changed the sales model, So some things I bought regularly were double the price. A suit from there usually lasts about 2.5-3 months before it really stretches and fades, although the bra/rubber part is often still fine. The fabric of this Daci suit is nice and soft, it lasts very well for a month and the overall fit is good, but it's made for those who are taller. It fits me with a lower cut than the picture and the elastic on the bra shelf is a JOKE. It's about 1/2 inch thick and doesn't fit a size 18 woman's boobs at all. My D/DD boobs were all over freestyle so I started wearing an old sports bra underneath to stop it , and it's tolerable. On my other suits I order 16 for top and 18W for bottom, but despite this, not only was this top a little big, it also didn't offer any support. The shorts fit well and I really like them except the waistband kicks back every time I land a hard kick against the wall. This caused the top to fall off, especially for the first few weeks I wore it. I won't buy it again but the price helped bridge the gap until I could find a replacement elsewhere and sell it at S4A to stock up for the sales season. Would be good for less vigorous workouts on a larger body or adding a sports bra that you want to sacrifice in the pool for extra support.

Pros
  • Elastic closure
Cons
  • Does not fit all
