I bought this thinking it would provide some compression but it fit a little big. Olive the color and texture but the fit was off. I should have ordered a smaller size. I'm plus size so I don't love showing off my hip and this bathing suit definitely will show off your hips

The color is as pictured. Very form fitting. It does come with pads which I need to double check but I don’t think they are removable ( truly not a big deal). For me, the straps fit a tiny bit big but not a deal breaker. Overall a great buy !
