Review on Flattering Tummy Control Swimwear For Women: Elegant Halter One Piece Swimsuit With Sexy Plunge V Neck by Julie Purvis

So I was very hesitant about this purchase. I typically wear 2 pieces but with turning 30 within the last year and having a mum bod now, I wanted something family-friendly but also something that I was comfortable in. The issue is that I have never been able to find a one-piece that looked flattering on my body type (I'm short, 5'1" and 36DD--weight is 155-160). The top for one pieces have always needed to be larger but my body doesn't typically work in an xl suit, so I just always went with 2-pieces for the convenience of being able to size up for the top while getting a different sized bottom. I came across a suit I REALLY liked from a thrift shop and bought it on a whim, and although everything felt amazing, the top was just too small for me to feel comfortable in. I ended up looking on Best Buy at a few styles that were similar to the thrift store find & to my surprise I found this one which is VERY similar, just a different color up top. I read the reviews and sizing suggestions and figured, well I'll go with an XL and see what works. I got it in 2 days time and when I pulled it out, I genuinely thought I'd be sending it back due to it seeming to be super long.The top fit AMAZING. There is padding but nothing major, no issues there & I'm sure the pads could be removed if they needed to be. The string is really nice because you can tie it to adjust to whatever feels comfortable. The rest of the suit, although an XL and looked longer, actually fit PERFECTLY. There is some extra fabic but it's just the rushing of the suit, which is indended to be there. I do think that I could have probably gotten a LARGE and had the same outcome, as the suit itself would fit me in a LARGE, but going with the XL guaranteed the bust would fit and it definitely did.As far as the fabric and color, I am beyond happy with it. It is exactly as it appeared in the photos and I've already decided on which style from this suit I am buying next :)
