Wonderful Suit...
Invites
You to Be the Woman You Are
Your
life will change the first time you put on this suit. You will feel more
beautiful than you have ever before felt in a swim suit. This suit is actually
your friend. It's designed to be kind. It knows that your body has
shape, curves, length, softness, size. No matter what other swim suit you
wear, you will always remember the Lingerie Maillot and it will be the one to
which you compare the fit of all others. Sadly for them, none will match
up.
Flattery
It may very well be that more figure types are flattered
by the Anne Cole Lingerie Maillot Swim Suit than any other swim suit made.
We have sold this suit (and ONLY this suit) in our store in the Virgin Islands
since 1987. We have watched hundreds of ladies try it on, and amazingly,
it looks great on just about everyone. Put it on and, without even looking
in the mirror, you know it flatters you.
Fit
The fabric is knit to Cole's specifications and is
a blend of 82% nylon and 18% spandex. The tricot knit stretches in every
direction. This is important! It allows the suit to fit well right
away and for a long time. These particular proportions of nylon and spandex
give the suit just the right amount of stretch—not too tight, not too loose either.
It hugs and holds your body. You know the suit is “on” and snug like a swimsuit
should be, yet the fit is comfortable and won't make you self-conscious about
squeezing around your legs or under your arms.
Cut
of the Leg
The Leg is cut moderately.
We've seen ladies “adjust” the suit so more of the leg is revealed. We also
know ladies who sort of “place” the suit a little lower on the hip and show less.
Both of these techniques are successful. The leg is cut for a woman to wear
in public, on the beach or at the pool. The leg is not cut for someone who
wishes to imitate a Las Vegas show girl. It also is not cut for someone
who wants to completely hide the fact that she has (or doesn't have) hips and
legs and thighs. This is to say that the cut of the leg is very flattering
for many ladies and can adapt to a greater-than-may-be-expected range of
revelation or discretion. When you try it on, fiddle around with the leg
if you like, and you'll see how it can work for you.
Transparency
and Lining
Different colors offer
varying degrees of transparency when wet. Generally, lighter color suits
will be fully lined all over and triple lined in the “bottom”. The front
lining of these light color suits is constructed to include a shelf bra for “guidance”.
The dark colors are completely opaque even when wet and they are designed with
a shelf bra and localized “bottom” lining. The lining and bra fabric is
100 % nylon. It's textured to do the job that lining must do—prevent see-through,
and light weight enough to dry very quickly.
Bosoms
The lining bras in the Lingerie Maillot, whether fully
lined or shelf bra, offer the sort of “leadership” required by ladies who wear
A, B, or C cup sizes. Unmodified, the support offered by the suit's built
in bra is, quite frankly, less than what is commonly desired by larger-than-C-cup
ladies.
Straps
The Lingerie Maillot's straps are completely sensible.
They are sewn to be round and are not easily twisted. They are made to be
just the right length and have no adjustable hardware that can fall out of adjustment,
rust, break, or pinch. The straps do not dent your shoulders, they grace
them.
Try
On
If you are new to this suit, you
must try one on and see for yourself why we are raving. Choose the most
likely Size, from 6 to 16, and we will send you the suit to try on at home.
Suits which have been tried on with panty protection may be returned within 7
days of receipt for exchange, store credit, or refund. We reserve
the right to refuse a return on a try-on if it is late, appears to have been worn,
seems to have been tried on without panties, or for any other reason, fails to
look brand new in every way.
If
you are among the many happy ladies who are familiar with this wonderful swim
suit, you probably already know what size you wear. You almost certainly
either have or want it, in several colors. We carry all current colors and
also have stock of many colors from earlier seasons’ palettes. They are
listed on the Order
Now page and described in the Colors
section.
