This comes in plastic sleeve inside of a a paperboard package, so packaging is not at all minimal. However, the packaging does have washing instructions and material info. When I first took this out of the package, it was incredibly small looking. It measured 10 inches across, before stretching.






When I took this out of the package, I noticed that top is adjustable with the halter ties, so you can change the fit a bit. Because of the materials (90% nylon, 10% spandex), it is really stretchy. It is also really form fitting. In this case, one size will actually fit most. However, if you are plus sized you might find this to be uncomfortable. Although it fits me well, I usually wear a size large in everything. If you were plus sized, the thighs would probably be the tightest part of it. My thighs are each over 20" around, and thankfully, this fits them with room to stretch. It's not too loose or too tight anywhere. It does not flatten your tummy at all or have any sort of shapewear element to it, but it also does not accentuate it. Though if you are at all self-conscious, you would probably not be interested in this in the first place!



Also, I am around 5'9" so I was worried about the fit of this lengthwise. I've owned one-piece swimsuits and leotards before that do not fit well, they just pull up and are too short. If I ever wear anything that's a one-piece like that because I usually have to get it in a tall, if available. But again, the material of this is really made to stretch. It's almost like a thick version of the material some tights are made from.







One problem that I do have with this is that there is no bust support, and wearing a bra under this looks totally awkward; I am used to wearing push-ups. Also, because of the way the slits are positioned, my nipples popped out of them a few times while I hat this on. I had to adjust it so that they wouldn't slip through the slits on the front if I moved around. Then, once everything was in place, I couldn't help but notice how obvious my nipples were through this thin fabric. There is no padding or extra layer of fabric in the bust, so there is no "modesty panel". Luckily, the fabric dose not get sheer at all when it stretches.




I have not tested this out in water yet, but it could probably be worn as a swimsuit. If you were feeling especially brave, you could wear this as a sort of leotard top with some shorts/pants/bottoms of some kind. The fabric is bright pink and purple, although the purple sometimes looks more like a bright blue to me. The colors are definitely eye-catching, and the slits and other things only draw more attention. This doesn't look totally like lingerie to me. It's more like...something I would expect to see someone wearing at a festival?

It's not really that I don't like this any more, I just don't know where to wear it at all! It's not exactly lingerie, but it's not something I would personally go swimming in, especially when I have more flattering swimsuits. The design of the fabric looks really cool to me still, but this isn't something I can really wear as a top in my daily life either.
