The color of this suit was listed as Blue. In reality, this suit is green (light stripes in the picture) and purple (dark stripes in the picture) to make up the pattern. The scoop neck design is great and personally much more comfortable (and more supportive) than a halter. Sizing in the straps is difficult as many said. The size correlates to pre-pregnancy tshirt size well, but unless the distance from your collarbone to chest is looong, anticipate on taking in the straps (length). The belly fabric is adequate thru 3rd tri. The sizing correlates mainly to the elastic of the chest portion that makes up the top panel. My guess is that the small is about 34-36, the medium is about 38-40. The fabric itself is thin but ok. The bottoms have a nice panel in the front and provide good coverage. The elastic waist hits about mid-belly (just below belly button after you pop), so beware if you don't like to have constricting elastic anywhere on your bump.

Review 2 for Tessuto Maternity Scoop Neck Tankini Two-Piece Swimsuit

I normally hate tankinis and prefer one piece suits, but it's so hard to put anything on a pregnant body, that this was a great option! I LOVE that the bottom piece comes all the way over my belly so even if the top piece floats up I'm still covered. The top also has a built in "shelf" for your chest which is supportive enough and prevents any flashing if the top floats up. It's very well designed. I wear this to my prenatal water aerobics class and it looks great and feels great! I bought a small and it might not fit for much longer, but pre-pregnancy I was 125/130lbs 5'5 and I'm currently 33wks pregnant measuring right on time, and the small fits fine for now. The top seems a little bigger than the bottom so I wish I could buy the bottom piece in medium and the top in a small! The scoop neck is nice because even though my "pregnant-lady-breasts" are going to show some cleavage no matter what I wear, this keeps it to a minimum which I appreciate. I do kind of wish the bottom piece was more of a "boy short" instead of a bikini cut, but it's a wide bikini cut so I don't feel uncomfortable in it at all like I thought I would. I definitely recommend this suit and you can't beat the price! Mine cost about $15. I paid for expedited shipping as well so I could get the suit in time for my first water aerobics class, but it was during the holiday time and the suit arrived a day after the expedited shipping window so I had to skip my first week of class. I emailed customer service and they immediately refunded the cost of shipping. Don't hesitate to buy - great item, great price and great customer service! (I bought this in "Animal Medley Brown" AND in "Diamond Ikat Blue" so my review is under both of them - hope it helps you in your maternity swimsuit search!)

Nice bathing suit. Modest. My daughter is a size 8 and the medium fits her perfect.

Review 4 for Tessuto Maternity Scoop Neck Tankini Two-Piece Swimsuit
Great value

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I'd only wear for a few months, so this is a great value. I am 5'2", currently 24 weeks pregnant with a current weight of 127 lbs. I got the medium size and the bottom fits comfortably though the top is a little big. Taking in the straps might help but I didn't want to make the effort to do this, so the top is a little more low cut than I'd like. The bottom has a panel that fits comfortably over your pregnant belly and has ample room for more growth without being too loose. I did not once feel that the bottom was going to fall off while swimming. The top does ride up in the water, but the bottom offers full coverage of the belly. However, I didn't want the top to ride up while I was swimming so I tucked the top into the bottom since it is roomy enough to do this and I was much more comfortable. Obviously, this isn't the most fashionable way to wear the suit, but functionally this works well.

Review 5 for Tessuto Maternity Scoop Neck Tankini Two-Piece Swimsuit
Great swim suit. Affordable. Recommended.

I'd been looking for an affordable maternity swim suit. I didn't feel like paying a fortune for a maternity swim suit that I'd only be using for a few weeks (unless I happen to get pregnant again, in the future, over a summer). For $16, this suit did the trick. The straps were a little long, but other than that the suit fit great. Its quality seemed as decent or better than my normal swim suit, and it looked good on me. I'd definitely recommend this product!

I normally wear a small- medium, but when it comes to buying maternity clothes I'm always worried things won't last very long if I buy them in the size I wear when I'm not pregnant. Make sense? Anyway, I decided to get a large for this swim suit, I'm very glad I did, the bottoms fit perfectly at 25 weeks along, they are very comfy. The top was however a little big, which I expected. I just ended up taking in the straps and side a little so it fit more snug aroung the bust. It's a great swim suit for your buck.

Review 7 for Tessuto Maternity Scoop Neck Tankini Two-Piece Swimsuit
It works

I wouldn't say it's the best suit out there, but for the price it definitely works. I don't like how the shelf bra is not it's own piece (if that makes sense) like many other swimsuits I've had are. It is sewn to the suit at the bottom so that makes fit seem weird. I never expected it to hold my breasts up anyway even if it wasn't the way it is. The nice thing about this suit though is the straps are thick and it's not so low cut in front or back that I'll be able to wear a bra (which I do typically with ANY suit) with it no issues and not see it, like others I've worn. I think it'll fit well as the belly grows, I'm only about 3-4 months along right now but my suit from last year didn't work and didn't figure I should get anything but maternity for this summer even if not truly needed just yet. The design of the top isn't my favorite but it's not horrible either. I've not actually gotten to wear it in the water yet, so no review on that, but I think it'll do fine. For the price, I like it. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a suit I'd wear this summer a few times and never again.
