[Stock Photo] Between reading reviews, and viewing customer-submitted photos, I went with an XL [Height: 5'5 | 200lbs | 47" Hips | 37" Waist | 44" Bust]. Which, based on their size chart...I was nervous. But it was a great and flattering fit, especially for someone who holds their weight in their lower stomach area.Overall, this bathing suite was perfect for a beach vacation. And allowing you to use the restroom without stripping down. The colors [at least on my computer] matched perfectly the suit that I received. The bottoms, really do slim up the tummy some. And the top...the lower half of the suite, was the perfect fit for me. It wasn't tight, but it also wasn't loose. You couldn't tell that I carried most of my weight in the lower tummy region. My only issue was in the chest area. I'm a 38 DD - and the cups were too big. Not to the point where I couldn't were the suit - I just had to tighten the top up more, which then was a little tight on my neck. But it worked out.I had high hopes for this suit, but it is not for me. I am a 34/36 DD. 5’3” 175lb. Currently wearing 14 pants medium to large tops. I am menopausal with a hormonal belly and I have had a breast reduction/lift, so my breast are not saggy. I was excited about all of the reviews that said how slimming this suit is. I bought a size large in this suit. The cups were not big enough for my boobs and the diameter around the chest was not small enough to keep my boobs from falling out the bottom. My waist is currently 32 inches and although this top is very comfy, it was not tight enough to cinch in my waist or offer any slimming quality. Also, the top kept wanting to slide up on me. The bottoms are too tight, but I was planning on wearing this top with a swim skirt that I bought separately anyway.All of that being said, this wasn’t an unflattering suit. It just wasn’t right for me and I am sending it back.Thank you. Love wearing this by the pool in Vegas.I was not gifted with a large bosom but I would think I'm average (B cup.) But these cups are HUGE and the straps are short. I was like "oh, no big deal. These inside cups normally end up coming out anyhow so I'll take them out and cut it down." Um, yeah no. Of all the times for these not to come out, it's this time! The inside cups are freaking sewn into the suit!! Since I cut off the gold metal things on the straps, I have to keep it or else I'd be returning it. I'm going to use a seam ripper to get the cups cut down and hopefully that works. Other than that issue, I love the color and the style. (I bought a large.)The bathing suit is pretty. The top runs big. I purchased a large and a medium. The large was way too big which I returned. The medium bottoms fit well but the top is still loose. The suit would be perfect if 1) you could adjust the tightness in diameter 2) of the cups were removableThis is a great bathing suit .. fits great .. flattering .. great valueOut of all the bathing suits I've bought this summer, this is my husband's favorite ;)Sexy and flattering.Over all looks good....suggestion make bathing suits with body shapers sewn in for stomach and butt and hips. Then X VERSION They would fly off the shelf
