Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, I will give you the sizing specifics as that's what is really important. I read so many conflicting reviews on sizing. Some said go down a size, some said it's a true fit. So I'm going to tell you about my body size (gasp!) and how the suit fits on it. Hide your husbands, ladies. I am 5'5 and a fluctuating 127 to 130 lbs. Sometimes to 132 if there's cheesecake involved. I wear a 36B, have a 26-27in waist and typically wear a size 4 pants and size small tops. I'm typical pear shape in that I'm ALL thighs and butt. After checking the sizing info and reviews, I ordered a size medium. I knew that it would be big in the top and possibly a little snug in the bottoms. I've been down this road before with my body type! Super glad I went with the medium. The top is a little big but a round in the washing machine on cold tightened it up. The bottoms fit perfectly, if not a touch big before they went in the wash. The drawstring is great as I can tighten the bottoms in the pool so they don't slide down but then loosen them before I get out of the pool. If you have a pear shaped body like I do, I would order your true size. The drawstring really helps if the bottoms are big. And after a wash and just a month or so of actual pool use, the suit will form more to your body. It's a great suit. Holds up well after daily 1+ hour swims. No fading, no pulling or pilling. Will definitely order another one when necessary!
