OMG!
Date:May 20, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Cons: not available in many different prints
I am 30, I wear a 44H, and I have never found a bathing suit that "holds me up". I have tried every thing including ones that tie around my neck and nothing worked. I ordered this online and said some prayers and as soon as I got it in I tried it on. OMG!!! screams of excitement! It fits perfectly and for the first time ever I can go out to the pool or beach with my tatas up, help in, not pouring out and looking great! Officially ready for the Florida summer! :)

Build In Bra by Cup Size
Date:May 15, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, comes in ddd
Beautiful black swim tank. I wear 46DDD and they had my size. It looks great on and it's not skin tight. The tank flairs out and lays nicely on the hips. The bra has an under wire with 3 options in the back with hooks. The fabric is nice and thick. Great quality. I bought 1 black and another printed because it fit so great.

Not sure...
Date:May 13, 2013
Pros: Style, Comfort
Cons: Fit
I ordered my normal size instead of going a size down as suggested. WOAH was this tight on top. I could barely get it on and then had to squeeze my breasts into the cups. Once in, they were oozing out the top. My boyfriend thought it looked good but there is NO way I'd go out in public like that. I'm 6+ months pregnant and it fits my belly very well and is very cute, but the size is way off. I'm going to the store to get sized and exchange it.

Great Suit but not exactly true to size
Date:May 13, 2013
Pros: Style, Comfort
Cons: Fit, Item not as described
This top is great. All though before you order you need to realize that this band is a little small. I usually wear a 42 DDD but due to availability I bought a 44DD. It is slightly small in the cup (expected) but the band is super tight. I am going to buy an extender to make it fit better. Other than that it's a great suit. Great coverage while still being flirty. Also unless you have a flat stomach it will NOT fit like model in the picture.

The Cutest Suit Ever!
Date:May 13, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Once again, I have to give Lane Bryant a great big round of applause for their stylish, flattering and comfortable swimsuit selection, this suit is my favorite! I was actually shocked at how nice this suit looks on me, even my husband commented on how attractive it is. The decorative hardware on the straps adds the perfect touch! I am actually looking forward to hitting the beach this summer... no more hiding under beach towels and cover-ups! Can't wait to lounge poolside in this cute suit! Thank you, LB, for more choices and options for curvy girls!

Finally!
Date:May 11, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Finally a swim suit that is flattering for a large chest and plus size girl. It's, quite frankly, amazing! A real bra inside a swimsuit should have been done long ago. It's elegant, sleek, and flattering. Lane Bryant, please more exactly like this. This is supportive for my my H cup, and that's remarkable in and of itself.

First swimming suit I have ever LOVED
Date:May 10, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, overall comfort
Cons: shoulder straps roll and cut in some
This is the first time I have ordered online from Lane Bryant, and my first time ordering a swimming suit online. I bought this before I saw that there were reviews and then was excited when I read them, the women had been commenting that this suit was great in all of the ways that every other suit I ever bought failed me. It came today and I tried it on and was in LOVE. It is basically a bra with a hook and eye back and adjustable straps. The cups have some firm yet thin padding on the breasts with a kind of tank over it. I followed the sizing chart recommendations and am glad I did. I usually wear 40DD bras and bought a 44DDD based on measurements. I was a little nervous when I opened it... it seems stiff enough to stand up on it's own, but it is very structured and comfortable on and fits beautifully. it has a very 50's feel to it. It had great support and was flattering to my breasts (no uniboob or butt-boob cleavage, yuck and also seems like it won't let my cleavage fill up with water and pull down when I actually SWIM). It provided classy coverage without being matronly. I am apple shaped, carrying my weight in my trunk and mostly in my stomach. the tank part of the top skims my body without clinging and actually made me look like I had an hourglass shape. For the negatives, I am not fond of the gold metal on the straps, I may remove them also the shoulder straps look wide but that is mostly just an overlaying fabric and the actual weight baring straps cut into my shoulders, even after adjusting them... that is nothing new to a woman with large breasts though and may be unavoidable. I bought the black hipster bottoms with them and am glad with that choice too. I am very happy with this purchase. I feel super sexy in this suit which is a totally new feeling for me as far as suits go. My boyfriend agrees, woo! Go by the measuring chart when you pick your size. Thanks Lane Bryant!

I love that this suit is sized just like my favorite Cacique Balconette bra. I've said for years that I'd like a bathing suit that fits just like my bra!

Best bathing suit
Date:May 4, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This suit is not just great for plus size, its also great for girls with big boobs. I tried looking everywhere for a bathing suit that was not a bikini, and had under wire and padding. When i first started looking in the store i felt like i looked stupid because i am not plus sized and i am only 18. When i seen the bathing suit rack i started to look through to see if i could find any in my size range and i found a 38 ddd. I am normally a 36-38 F but this bathing suit fit perfectly in a 38 ddd. It looked perfect. It wasnt too loose or tight at all. Also i like that it doesn't have all the push up padding inside like VS.

Perfect for women with heavy boobs
Date:May 3, 2013
Pros: Comfort, great for heavy boobs
Omg! I love this top. I have been searching for 3 months straight for a bikini top. Once I could only find those that cover up your whole belly area, I just thought, well better something then nothing at all.
I don't regret buying this one second. This swim tank is just as good as a bra and if you have heavy boobs like I do that fall to the ground without support, you will absolutely LOVE this. I've tried all other swim tanks from LB and this one was the only one that did the trick for me.

Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This top is PERFECT for versatility and comfort. It fits well on the top and is flowy on the bottom for active use. Perfect for someone who doesn't want a tight fit around the stomach.

I am a tall 44DDD and this has to be the best I have ever found! It hits the hip just in the right place, I wear with boy shorts... and holds the girls up which is not only comfy but helps to slim you down

FANTASTIC
Date:April 24, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit
I haven't liked a bathing suit on me in years, but this one is classy and cute and comes down long enough to cover without looking like a dress. It's also well-made. I bought it with the high-waisted briefs, which hold my belly in. It's very flattering. I recommend using self tanner a few days before you try it on. It makes a difference - (I used the jergen's 3 day). This is a great suit for big bellies. I haven't gotten wet yet.

Hardware swim tank with built in balconette bra
Date:April 21, 2013
Pros: Style
Cons: Fit, Comfort
I love the style and look, but the site said to order a size smaller size around and a size up n the cup for a perfect fit. The cup size is good, but the overall top is to tight at teh Bra line and hugs my tummy. I was hoping it would be a little looser to flow over the middle. Going to try to exchange for my normal size around and just one cup size up. I think that will be perfect! It's really pretty and has perfect bra coverage.

Love the style, not the fit. I wear a 42D bra comfortible and suit not to size. Had to squeeze it over my breast. Had to return for larger size. Hope it fits since love the top.

I love this swim top! I didn't realize when I ordered it that it has actual bra snaps in it but was pleasantly surprised when it came! We leave for Disney world in 6 weeks and a summer at the lake so I can't wait to get reactions on this top! I am so in love with it that I bought the black and white one too! Can't wait for it to come!

Love this suit!
Date:April 8, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, looks stylish - not like your grandmother, best looking suit i have ever purchased.
I recently purchased this suit. I am a 42 DD with a large tummy. This suit looks so nice. I have had so much trouble in the past trying to find a swimsuit to hide my tummy and feel comfortable in, but this one is purfect. I wish they had more colors. Have not tried the bottoms yet. Have not actually gotten it wet. Will write back and report on how it holds up. The quality is great at a reasonable price. I am use to spending so much more. Am thrilled to have found this one!!
