Let me reassure you, LOU Swim is worth every penny. There are so many things that LOU just gets about being IBTC. I always hated how other brands that celebrate catering to AAs assume that we just want to look bigger and give you so much padding it could double as a floatation device. The L-shaped padding in LOU swimwear is super modest, not to mention GENIUS. It pushes you IN instead of UP, which really just accentuates your natural shape without making you feel like you're lying about your size. I was hesitant about buying online because I wasn't convinced they could get the sizing right, but I followed the size guide and both of my LOU Swim sets fit like a glove. The TORI is my second swimsuit from LOU (I also have the FIO), because a high waist is a bloated girl's best friend. So really, LOU Swim is out here doing ALL the things for body confidence. Cannot recommend this brand enough for IBTC women.
