I'm really happy with this suit--it IS cheaply made as many of the other reviewers said, but as long as you handle it delicately, it looks great. This is my first time trying to mask a major buddha belly in a bathing suit, and this suit really does it. So much so, in fact, that when I came out wearing it, my mother (who's been tactfully trying to feed me more veggies since she noticed the 30 lbs I've gained) said, "My GOD! You look like Marilyn Monroe in that suit! That's amazing! You look gorgeous!" I do wish the suit was made better, but the results make me not care all that much. They totally run small (In normal clothes, I'm a 10, in this suit, I'm a 12). I'd buy it again (though I'd look for a good sale--the list price for these are definitely higher than necessary) it's made me feel confident on the beach again, which is priceless.
