Honestly, I bought this (and the matching top) on a whim because I loved the blue floral print, I was expecting to return them because of the fit or whatever, but I was pleasantly surprised. I absolutely love the set! The print is lovely and the fit is perfect for me. While I like the idea of a mo...dest bottom, I haven't bought any because they usually look weird. However, as others have said, these are way more stylish and less frumpy than most high-waist bottoms. The way they fit around my belly makes me feel confident, like the fit at the top of my favorite leggings. My only complaint is that the leg hole is a little tight, it digs in just a bit. Not a big deal, still my new favorite bikini! Cannot wait for it to warm up a bit so I can actually wear it!
