Comments about SPEEDO Piped Moderate Empire Plus Size:
The only thing about this suit that us sub-par are the straps. I wish they gave more support. They are too long and flimsy. The rest of the suit is the farthest thing from flimsy.
Comments about SPEEDO Piped Moderate Empire Plus Size:
The bust could be couple inches smaller for the size (and I am an ample woman)and an inch higher for active swimming. Workable for water fitness exercising.

Comments about SPEEDO Piped Moderate Empire Plus Size:
I bought this suit hoping to have a new lap swimming suit that looked some what stylish as well. While I do think that it looks nice outside the water, it fit too big on the top and when I swim laps, the water pulls the suit down in the front to the point that I don't feel comfortable with the coverage. It is probably my own fault, I should have bought a more conservative suit for my purpose. I was trying to kill two birds with one stone: a suit that looked good out of the water and could still be used for lap swimming - this is not the suit for that.

Swimsuit is flattering and dries quickly. It's a little loose on top - mainly the straps feel a bit long - so I'm just going to have them tightened up a little by a seamstress.

I tried to use this suit for lap swimming. I am big in the chest area. The suit fits great through the middle body area, but the top of it is horrendous when swimming laps. There is absolutely no support and the suit does not stay in place when swimming laps at a relatively decent pace. I had to constantly stop and adjust myself back into the suit. I even took the suit and had the straps taken up because they were so long, but that did absolutely nothing to help my problem.
I imagine if you are using this suit for sun bathing and casual playing in the water it would be great, but it leaves a lot to be desired when you are using it for lap swimming.
