    I like how they decided to be bold about this. They look great. I definitely don’t have this confidence.

    I like this on both of them. Maybe it is how they are posed and the confidence they are showing? I like it.

    Adorable, sexy, cute, hot, beautiful! Not cheap looking even though it is just cut off jeans and a bare midriff top.

    I have seen much more flattering fits with a similar jumpsuit. Once again it is the fit that misses and fails to flatter.

    I like how the more covered and supported look of the top is more flattering to both girl's busts.

    Cheap-looking fabric that doesn’t sit nicely, regardless of who wears it.
