i loved this bathing suit when i saw it on-line and when i took it out of the box. miracleSuits really are miraculous for those of us who are "built for comfort, not for speed."
i kept trying it on and trying it on, tho, and the fit just wasn't quite right. it almost seemed as if there was too much ruching, and it made my body look more ample, shall we say, than it already does. it is the right size, but it just doesn't look right.
so i'm sending it back but haven't given up. i've tried on several miracleSuits in the past week, and i know my size now, so next year, i'll be able to order BEFORE i go to mexico (this year i waited too late to be able to order it, try it on, and return/exchange it before i went).

Beautiful bathing suit, ruching in all the right places. The problem with this suit is the straps are so thin and narrow that if your bust size is bigger than a 36C, they won't be supported. I am MUCH bigger than that and was perplexed that a plus sized suit would have such flimsy straps, and for the price!
The extensive shirring really does create the illusion of being slimmer. The fabric is wonderful and makes me think it will hold up well. There is good support in the bodice . I am thoroughly enjoying it. I prefer a one piece for water aerobics and this one does the job.
