Heavy weight swim suit good so far, Knit tops not wearable in public - reveal all
|
The tank bathing suit top and shorts bottom are nicely made, and good fabric in the heavy weight choice. I'd give those five stars (but have not swam with it yet). Too bad the fabric for the knit tops is pure crap. Construction, sizing and style is good,
but these tops are not wearable in public. The fabric for all the shirts (tee, swing with roses design, swing with palm tree) are so thin that they are SHEER and show every bump and bulge (seams on bra, elastic of waist on pants) even though they are not tight
fitting. And, frankly, at size 4x/5x I don't want to wear sheer and revealing clothing at work or in public. "Cotton poly" blend is on the web site, but the garment does not have fiber percentages on the label. My guess is that it's 95% polyester...the fabric
has the feel and look of the cheapest junk knits. I cannot wear these without sweating like a pig. Too bad they don't use MODERATELY GOOD cotton knits or REAL Cotton/Poly knit fabric intended to be used for clothing (I'm not picky...just the weight & quality
of an average tee shirt). The style & construction is very nice. Go to Junonia to see nice knit fabric for plus-sized tops.
