This swim suit is so cute to me http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=8M-223693&page=3&cgname=OSSWMVERZZZ&rfnbr=2514
But I'm not sure what type of body you have to have to wear it? Other than Victoria's Secret models who will it look good on?
I'm kind of busty, slim-ish hips, but not a very defined waist. I'm wondering if I could pull it off....

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that very few women in this world look good in the high-waisted look (and I'm not even sure that model is one of them). I think at the very least, you probably need to have a defined waist and a long-ish torso. I have neither and I imagine that those bottoms would look like they were just propping up my boobs.

I think that suit is unflattering to the model so I can't imagine who it would suit (ha!). Maybe someone with a tiny waist & hips who wanted to offset gigantic breasts? Even then I think the cut would annoy me at the beach or swimming - the tanlines alone!

I like the vintage feel to it, but I for one would not feel comfortable wearing it. You would definitely have to have small hips and a tiny waist to pull off the bottoms.
I think the top could work for anyone except the very busty.

Ack, the tanlines! I didnt think about that . . . that would be totally funky! (And not in a good way.)

I have to agree that I think the model just barely looks ok in it. I can't imagine any "real" person wearing it. Maybe if someone has a tiny waist with a completely flat stomach and very small hips, they might be able to get away with it, but I doubt it. I wear a size 0 and have smallish hips and I wouldn't even try on something like that.
