I've tried this swimsuit and the Dark Lyfe and all I can say is, unlike the majority of Killstars Plus Size items, these swimming costumes have not been properly resized for plus size bodies. What you get is not the same as what is modeled!
I'm 5'5, and the neck line comes down way past my D cup ***** as you can see in the picture (I'm too embarrassed to show any more as Kelly P said in her review - it really is that bad!) The beautiful black model is supposed to be 5'7 with a very buxom chest, there is no way what I was sent (See Image 2) would fit her, or anyone else, like the one she models! Her buxom chest would be completely exposed and the crotch would be down to her mid thigh. Basically the body is way too short (it is about long enough to fit my aunt who's 4'11!) and the straps and crotch are way too long.
I couldn't recommend this to anyone like this as. I hope that the clear design flaw is fixed at some point, but until then I'd recommend steering clear of the swimming costumes and go for the bikinis, as I have the Beach Beast 2 piece and it fits fine!
P.S. I chose a sizing option of runs large (as i had to choose for the review) due to the length of the starps/arms and the crotch, but if I could I'd also choose runs small due to how short the body is!
This bathing suit is exactly what I need to look awesome around the pool! Thanks for making it in a plus size!
I think the design is very sexy but I dont think it was meant for my body shape. Its roomy in the rear area and maybe im too tall for it? The neckline part of the swimsuit hangs too low and the leg parts are very high cut.
I love the front of this piece. But thats about it. The back hangs extremely weird. I have to tie a string around the straps to keep them up. They constantly fall. Not only that, i got my normal sizing. The bum is HUGE. too much extra room. (I have a big bum so its just unnecessarily big) and though the rump size is big the front is too small. The front paneling doesn’t match the back panel. So the bum has too much fabric but also the top pulls down in front. Making the bubbies try to make an appearance. I really wanted to love this swim suit but am not comfortable in it.
Sorry but there is no way they used an actual plus size person to design this suit. I'm a larger girl but very proportionate for my size. The stomach fit alright but the crotch and straps are much to long. It v's out into a huge shape at the top which not only leaves tons of excess fabric on the sides but the overall design shows off every fat roll a girl can have. The back is completely open, and the bottom is cut so high it shows off any possible rolls you might have. The image on their site is photoshopped very poorly too you can see these poor girls stomach folds erased making their legs just a fleshy mess. The staps being as long as they are don't provide any support for your girls and there wasn't even a thought about holding them up, no cup, nothing. I w9nt be sharing pictures sorry it really that bad.
