Where has this suit been alll my life?!,
March 5, 2013
By: Adorable
from Worthington, PA
"First glance of this swimsuit in the catalog and I was enchanted! It is "so me". Although I thought it was pricey, knew I had to give it a try. The fit, on my post-menopausal body, makes it so worth the price! Lovely fabric. Will probably buy the pink one, too, even though I only wear a swimsuit once or twice a year."

Great bathing suit,
March 4, 2013
By: Panamacarol
from Boquete, Panama
"I love this bathing suit. I ordered a new one as my old one fell apart!! I was at my Aquafit class here in Panama and all of a sudden the fabric became very loose and baggy and even sprang a hole on my bottom. I'm not sure how long I've had it. I am a bit disappointed, honestly, but as I said before, I ordered it again as the style and fit is perfect."

Excellent purchase,
February 26, 2013
By: Byways
from Fleet, Hampshire
"This was bought as a replacement for an identical costume which had worn after much use. I looked in other high street stores and could find nothing comparable in style or with the little skirt in the front, and the shape is flattering for a fuller figure."

Lovely idea swimsuit,
February 8, 2013
By: Ginger2277
from Devon
"This suit looks very good but does not have enough support in tummy or bottom The fabric is weak and ladies of a certain age who might wear this usually need more not less support. Left hand inside seam is rough and rubs. For i price,( more than other online competitors) it is high and will I suspect not last long with wear and regular washing. Great colours"

Color Fades,
February 4, 2013
By: Carin1
from San Diego, CA
"2 months in the indoor pool and it has lost ALL of its color. It is holding up well but looks so faded I don't want to wear it. I rinsedit every time I came home. I spent big bucks for this suit so I am really disappointed"

gorgeous print,
January 26, 2013
By: family1
from Wisconsin
"I finally ordered this suit after admiring the print for some time; I love it! I did buy a size smaller than usual because the length was too long, making the skirt look odd. But, with the right size, all aspects of the fit are perfect. Swim suit straps cause pain on my shoulders, so I love the option of wearing the suit without straps. Delighted!"

Best suits ever!,
November 11, 2012
By: Joann19
from Avon, CT
"This is one of four sarong-style suits I've purchased from Orvis. They are so well made and flattering, I don't even consider looking elsewhere - I just look for the Spring/Summer catalog to come in, and select from the sarong styles offered. One note - I can be a 10 or a 12, and in these particular suits, the smaller of the two sizes is the best fit. Please don't ever stop offering the sarong style suit!"

Pretty if it fits,
August 17, 2012
By: KLee
from Salem, VA
"Other reviewers said this suit was suitable only if you're long waisted - and they're correct. For my shorter waisted body, there was just too much material and so it bunched up, looking ridiculous. It's so pretty on the model in the catalog, so I was sorry to have to return it."

"the fabric is very thin and the straps have plastic hook attachments that mean if you stretch in some positions the strap can come undone."
