Calvin Klein Women's Shirred Swimdress

 (5 customer reviews)

I have no words to express the frustration in trying to find bathing suits that are for a 6-8 waist and a 34D chest. I am 5ft tall and it's been extremely upsetting to search EVERYWHERE to find a one piece with an underwire. I took a chance on this one...kept fingers crossed. It arrived yesterday..I refused to get excited......until I put it on! yes yes yes! covers and supports my 34D chest but fits nicely and shows my curves on my hips. I tried it halter style and also took the 2 straps and cris crossed them in the back. the hubby approved of both looks and referred to it as "looking like lingerie but classy and flattering." He insisted I keep it. I'm so happy and I had to write a review to help any of you women struggling with being petite lower half but a large bust! I hope this helps someone! Best of luck!

Beautiful suit. I am petite (5' tall) with a small bust and larger hips, and this fits me perfectly. The shirring disguises all lumps and bumps, the skirt is just long enough to cover the top of the thighs (but not so long that it looks dowdy), and the structured top provides a lovely shape. Most one-pieces make me look matronly, but this one was very flattering and gave me a Marilyn-esque figure. Love it!

Oh dear...I really wanted to like this bathing suit. I don't, and I'm sending it back. First of all, it has a lot more "shirring" than is obvious from the photograph. When I looked into the mirror this afternoon, I felt like I was looking at someone who had rolls and rolls of fat cascading down her belly. I don't. It's the bathing suit. Second, and most important, is the fact that the straps pop off. Yes, pop off. I had the suit on for five seconds when both straps went "POP...POP" and landed on the floor. No, I"m not kidding. The little hooks can't seem to tolerate any stress whatsoever, and just come undone. I'm a size 8 and this is a size 10 suit. OK, so I'll tighten the straps and maybe that will help. No, they just popped off even faster. So...I tried on the size 8 in the brown. Size wise, it fit better, but the straps still popped off, and bust is a bit small. So, I guess I want to lounge around by the pool, strapless, this will be fine, but if I want to go...Read more
