Venus says it has made swim separates since 1982, and it runs its own Tummy Coverage Swim section, along with selling Miraclesuit and Magicsuit. Its house suit for this need is the Slimming Draped One-Piece, built with what Venus calls its exclusive Hold U In technology plus a surplice drape across the front. The page describes the effect as hugging and shaping with moderate control, so the drape does as much of the hiding as the fabric. A shelf bra and adjustable elastic straps handle support, and the back and rear coverage are full. The suit costs $89 in sizes 6 to 22. Venus accepts returns or exchanges within 30 days for items that are not final sale, and US shipping is free from $99. Shoppers who want firm compression should look at Miraclesuit; this suit is for softer smoothing at a lower price.
