Magicsuit Plus Size Jersey Skirted Swim Bottom

When I ordered this it looked like it did not have any pleats, I thought they shipped the wrong bottoms but when I got the exchange it was the same, full of pleats, too many pleats makes me look two times bigger. I have to return it.

For Miraclesuit I usually size up, but for Magicsuit I ordered my regular size, and this is true to size. It doesn't offer much - if any- compression, but it's cute and the Jersey material of the skirt is very soft and lightweight, I imagine it will dry quickly, which would be a plus. I wonder if I had sized down if it would still fit but offer moree compression/shaping. . . ? I like that it's lightweight and am keeping it for when I run out to my hot tub in cooler weather, but I feel it was very expensive for what it is, even with the sale code I had, that's why I took off 2 stars. Also wish it was higher-waisted for my long torso (or offered that as an option)

Good when not in water to “cover up”. However, too much loose fabric to wear in water. Should be more firm fitting so stays on bottom and not drowning you when in water as it floats up to cover your top, gets in the way of swimming.
