I think that the suit is very flattering. It really shows off everything. I noticed that it is unlined. That can be rather naughty. Great tan. Have you tried the suits by Prevail Sport and Koala Swim. They are really tiny and give you a lot of exposure (they both sell on-line). So if you really want to tan, try them. Their suits are sold by waist sizes, so you can get a really snug fit and some of their suits come with supports and rings to really dramtize the package. You will be the center of attnetion on the beach.
