My favorite bathing suit to bust out for pool parties in my middle school yrs. Even then I wore a T-shirt over it. Lol! Prolly why it's not super faded for being 25yrs old. However, since the elastic may be starting to deteriorate, you want 2 make sure you never overstretch it, that's all. That's easy to do providing you're not bigger than the suit; i.e. no larger than a sml/med should be trying to wear this, as it's a 90's vintage Large. Meas.
