Cross Pleated High Waist Swimsuit

Description

This high waist one-piece swimsuit uses cross-front pleating to create natural tummy control without rigid shapewear panels. The gathered fabric smooths the midsection through strategic ruching rather than compression, which means you can actually breathe and move comfortably.

How the Pleating Works

The cross-wrap design at the front creates overlapping layers of fabric that camouflage the stomach area. The pleats radiate outward from the center, drawing the eye diagonally rather than straight across. This visual trick is more forgiving than flat-front styles.

High Waist Construction

The waistline sits at your natural waist, not your hips. This placement elongates the leg line and keeps the ruched tummy control section positioned correctly. The higher cut also means more coverage through the lower stomach and hip areas.

Support Features

Built-in soft cups provide shaping without removable pads. Adjustable straps let you customize the fit through the bust. The back is a standard scoop that stays in place during movement without riding up.

Sizing Guidance

Available in multiple colors and sizes from S to XXL. The pleated front accommodates some size variation — if between sizes, the ruching will adjust. However, sizing up gives more comfortable coverage if tummy control is your priority, as the fabric works best when not stretched to maximum.
