I don't think I've worn a properly fitting swimsuit since around 4th grade. I used to be forced to shop for hours, both online and in stores, and try on dozens of suits, and I would end up with one that at least didn't directly fall off while I was standing still. I would swim with it, and though I would still have fun in the water (because swimming is super fun!), I would be forced to almost constantly adjust my suit. Even with this constant adjustment, I've had awkward nip slips at the pool. At the beach, my top has been almost completely pulled off by rough waves many times (I haven't tested this new Panache suit at the beach yet, though). I'm already sometimes self-conscious, and bathing suits that don't fit make it much, much worse.
Enough with the background sob story. When I found out a few months ago that Panache made swimwear, I absolutely freaked. I could barely believe that there was a possibility of a bathing suit ACTUALLY FITTING ME!!!
My mom and I saw the scarlet red Veronica one-piece on Herroom (it's also available on other websites in different colors, sizes, and prices) and fell in love. We realized it might ACTUALLY WORK! Unfortunately, they didn't have any 28Gs (and of course, no 26GGs :( ), so we went with a 30F. Why not give it a try, right?
Here are the pictures from Herroom (I do not in any way own these images; they are from the link above):
I tried it on, and IT FIT! :D
Because the band was rather loose, my breasts weren't as supported as I would like them to be in a bra; they weren't really uplifted in the suit. I don't think the sagging was noticeable or odd-looking, but it did have a slight minimizing effect, as they weren't pushed up and on display quite as much as they likely would have been in a 28G (or 26GG). This isn't really a problem for me; I just want a bathing suit that covers and supports me enough to swim comfortably. Even it I did find it to be an issue, it's not really a problem with the suit, as I'm not in the right size.
Also, a word of warning: the second time I did the back closure, it wasn't too hard. The first time, however, was pretty confusing. xD I had to take the suit off and mess with the fastener a bit to figure out how it worked before I put the suit back on. The second time, I could do it behind my back, which is rather impressive for me since I'm one of those people who hooks a bra at the front and spins it around.
Anyway, after figuring out the fastener, the suit passed the cartwheel and handstand and jumping tests with flying colors! I was so happy! I couldn't wait to try it in the water!
I went to the pool and tested it out. I jumped into the pool. I mermaid-swam. I spun around in the water. I jumped and splashed about happily. Not once did my suit require adjustment. Not. Even. Once. It was an amazing experience.
Then, I played in the pool with my little brother. I carried him in the water and held him up high and hugged him. He asked me to float on my back so he could rest on my belly while he practiced kicking his feet (he is so adorable!!). Throughout these adventures, I didn't need to adjust my suit at all. It stayed put. I was in awe.
I've only swum in the suit once (yesterday), so I really can't say how well it stays together.
In conclusion, this suit was amazing for me, as I haven't had a properly fitting bathing suit since I got boobs. If you're having swimsuit troubles, I recommend it. It's fantabulous! :D
