The sleeves are a bit noisy. The fabric goes swish swish swish. I wish there was the option for a higher cut panty/bottom. This cut is great for more conservative tastes but it can also make a young woman look a bit frumpy. At the front of the panty, the fabric is darker over the belly and lighter along the pantyline, which might have been intended to reduce the look of a bulging belly but I've found it has the opposite effect. The contrast actually contours the roundness of the belly, which is only ideal if accentuating a baby bump; less cute when it's belly fat. Also, it would be convenient if the sleeves were detachable so that the look could change a bit. These are the shortcomings I had to get over before I finally came to appreciate the swimsuit. I like that that the sleeves ca be worn on or off the shoulder. A good hairstyle and a pair of earrings will take this swimsuit to a higher level. It's definitely a fashion piece, so the wearer must embrace being a showstopper. That's exactly the reason I bought it.
