Suit and cover up arrived exactly as pictured. I love the vibrant colors and pattern. I think it's different from the usual ones on swimwear. The waist fits nicely above hip bones but just below the belly button. I could probably pull it up higher if I wanted. The bottoms cover everything and don't ride up or slide down. The top has a nice amount of padding, not too much. The tie in the front is functional. The cover up is fairly sheer and complements the suit perfectly. I highly recommend this 3 piece swimsuit. I already have another one, same brand from last year and it's still going strong.
