This is my first Funkier suit and I love it. I tried the suit on in the store and thought it was tight, that the straps were too thin, and the fabric questionable. But what sold me was the pattern. It is such a laugh and very whimsical. I decided to take a chance and I bought it. That was last summer. Pleased to say, almost a year later, this is the best suit ever. I am in the water 4 times a week, and this suit has not lost its shape nor has the colour faded. The straps don't cut into me. It is actually quite comfortable, especially compared to another suit (a different brand) that I had bought at the same time as this one. I have always hated buying swim suits but this suit has changed my attitude. Now I want a whole collection of crazy swimsuits!!
