This 'Rialto' bathing suit is so flattering! The sideways ruching on the torso is visually minimizing and keeps the tummy well in check, but comfortably so. Thanks MiracleSuit! ;-) The vertical ruching on the chest portion enhances the look of this area in that it is supportive, but not matronly in appearance. In fact, this is a dead sexy suit to wear, but still appropriate in front of the in-laws!
My only mild complaint is that the straps are quite thin, and one popped the stitching when pulled too hard, so I had to have it sewn back on. I have since gone both watertubing and parasailing wearing this beautiful bathing suit with nary a problem, so there just must have been a loosely stitched thread on one strap before.
