I am impressed with the quality, material and color of this suit. I’m fighting back the urge to order another one in another color. It doesn't fade in chlorine.
For sizing reference - I wear a true size 8 pants, on a rare occasion a 6 or a 10 but mostly always an 8. Geez, I know, if you understand you understand. Tops I’m a true medium. Height 5'4”, weight ranges between 147-150lbs.
I purchased a large suit, it fits perfectly. There is no compression to the suit to hold your tummy in but at my age I wear my pouch with pride. This is a an extremely flattering swim suit, if you’re on the edge do not hesitate. There is some padding in the bra area, I think it’s perfect so nothing pokes out, ha ha.
