Love this suit.
I love this suit. I am broader on top than bottom with tummy issues and this suit works perfectly. It has scrunching through the middle so it does not settle into the bumps and groves. I especially love how the straps come from the widest part of the top front and angle in from there - very flattering and prevents the armpit ooze. Plus, the princess cut description fits it perfectly. It has a very feminine cut across the front.

Need curves to wear this suit
I love lands end bathing suits. No matter where I start shopping for bathing suits, I almost always end up buying them from LE. They last for years and the sizing is consistent. I can buy the same size each time and they fit, a big plus when ordering online. That being said, I returned this suit because of styling not quality. It did nothing for my small chest and straight figure. I love the style of the top and the shirring at the front and I'm sure it will look great on someone with curves.

Very Flattering
This bathing suit top is very flattering. I am petite, but short waisted and normally wear a 36C. The 8 petite fit perfect. It seems to run on the long side. I usually like my tops a little longer but glad I went with the petite because it hit right at my high hip. The regular size 8 would probably have been way too long. I'm on the busty side and this did not make me appear overly 'inflated' as I feared it would, maybe it was because there was a nice balance with the gathering and seams in the front. It will also hides a multitude of middle age womanly problems...namely, pouchy stomach , back fat..etc! I think most body types could wear this quite well.

Comfortable top
I had a very similar style years ago in solid black and wore it until it was see through :) Thought I'd get this one as I loved the last so much! This suit fits very true to size and is quite comfortable. Fits well all around and is a really nice material.
My only suggestions to Lands End would be:
a) have better fabric options, specifically SOLIDS (who doesn't love solids?!?)
b) bring back the neck tie that was solid and undid with the clasp, it was super comfortable and when it was down it wasn't a big long tie
c) possible extend some of the ruching on suits to the back to hide possible unsightly back rolls.
Otherwise great suit!

Finally found a top I like!
This tankini is what I have been looking for the past year ! I am tall, so finding tops long enough has been a challenge. This top is both long enough and has the gathers to help cover any waist issues. I also like the halter look, not always so easy to find. It fit true to size for me. The one thing I will agree, I wish it had an underwire bra , then it would be perfect. Loved it so much, I bought two colors!

Cute!
This is a very cute swimsuit! I purchased this tankini top, along with a SwimMini skirt, for an upcoming beach vacation. I am 5'4", 130lbs, with a fairly large ribcage; this is a perfect size for me. (I chose my size based on the sizing measurements, which were spot on.) The combination of the pattern and ruching does a great job of hiding my imperfect tummy. The fabric is thick, but not constraning and tight. I'm excited to try this out in sand and surf!

Love this top!
I just received this top today in the mail and I couldn't be happier with it. I think it is true to size with a very flattering fit. I got the size 8 and it was perfect (I am 5'6", 140 pounds and a 34C). I can't wait to wear it on our upcoming cruise!

Lovely print; poor fit
I loved the print of this tankini and neckline. The fabric is nice. However, the bra is flimsy and gives no support. I'll be returning this item.

Returned it
I ordered long in this suit and that was nice, along with the perfect neckline. What I didn't like, was that the suit did not have underwire and it made my tummy look a bit like a wrapped sausage with all the ruching. Having said that, this is a nice suit but just didn't suit my post-children body. It is worth a try though, especially if you are tall. I think this suit would look really nice on some people. It is nice quality fabric and styling.
