On the Fence
I absolutely love this bating suit - until I remove the straps. It makes my boobs look saggy and sad. This is disappointing because the main reason I purchased this suit was so that I could go strapless to avoid tan lines. However, I love how it looks with the straps, it is incredibly slimming, and the fit is perfect - it just lacks support. (I am 5'3, 180 lbs, and a 38D). I did make sure I looked at their measurement guide to figure out what my measurements were and where it fit on the Lands End sizing guide. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep the suit, but someone with smaller boobs might fair better than me!

This swimsuit fits great and am very pleased.
Just received this suit, tried it on and was very happy with fit, color, and material. Nothing bad to say about it.

Great bathing suit for summer
I was looking for a one-piece that would be perfect at the lake, and this is it! I have recently had my first child, and am still carrying extra baby weight (185 lbs). I am 5'9" and curvy, with a longer torso. I ordered a size 16, both to accommodate my chest (I am breastfeeding, so larger in that department than normal) and the length of my torso.
This suit arrived, and it fits perfectly! I didn't necessarily need a size 16 for the waist, but it fits well on length and bust. The ruching on the suit slims out my midsection, and the option to remove the straps will still allow for flattering tan lines. The built-in cups are supportive enough to make me feel comfortable having the straps off, unless I was being active in the suit (in which case, having the straps on would be suitable).
Wonderful suit! I am looking forward to sporting it in the sun.

Very pretty suit
I usually order an 8 in Land's End swim suits, and they fit very well. This suit is very flattering, but is not consistant with the usual fit. I ordered my usual size 8. When I tried it on, the top portion was good, but the lower half could have been a size 6. My fear was that the top would be too small but the lower portion would fit better if I choose the smaller size.
Land's End seems to be having problems with the swimsuits that have a draped top. The material is too loose where it drapes. This suit needs a firmer fabric and better color and design choices.
