How much shaping does the ruched front actually give?
The cross-wrap panel uses gathered layers of stretch fabric to gently compress and disguise the midsection. It's real shaping โ softer than full shapewear, but noticeable.
Will the scalloped edge stay flat?
Yes. The scallops are reinforced with internal stitching so they hold their shape, even after swimming and washing.ย
Can I swim laps in this, or is it more for lounging?
Both. The wide straps and full back coverage keep everything in place during active swimming.
How does the navy hold up in chlorine?
The nylon-spandex blend is chlorine-tolerant. Rinse in cool water after each use and the color stays rich for full seasons.
