Fits well, very happy about that.Headline says it all!I checked their measurements and was in between sizes 22 and 24, so I sized up to 24, but now I wish I'd gotten the 26. The 24 fit but it's tight across my torso (but not boob-smash tight). I carry my weight in my torso, so that's probably why it's snug. If you carry your weight in your torso and like some room in your suits, size up two sizes. I like the bright colors of the swimsuit but in person I don't like the pattern as much and wish I'd picked a different color. Seems a little granny? But I guess the style might be flattering. I like it enough not to return it. The quality is really good actually. I'm wearing it with a bra in the pic but without a bra the straps are sufficient enough. I'm 5'5", 230 lbs. Measurements 48 waist, 51 over boobs, hips 49, bra size 44D. In shirts I'm a 2x, bottoms 20-22, unsure typical swimsuit size (I usually use athletic shirt/shorts for beachwear). Overall, I'm pleased.The only reason why I did not give this swimdress five stars is because the front V neck portion is not completely seen on both sides and instead only has one stitch on the overlapping parts. I would much prefer it be stiched a bit more because when I sit down, you can see the side of my chest from where it puckers. The fabric on this suite is very thick and nice. I love the ruching at the waist, which creates a beautiful shape. The skirt is sewn so that it stays down even in the water. The skirt doesn't float up to the top of the water when wet. The bottoms are enough coverage. I would buy this again.Super cute style. Everything looks great from the front of the swimsuit because the fabric is gathered at the skirt, bodice and chest. But the single layer fabric from the side seams across the back is too thin and stretchy; has absolute no hold to the fabric. The underside of the fabric is white and shows through when stretched and it still feels loose because fabric is too thin. It’s a keeper for the price.I am a 20 or 22 in swimdresses and I ordered the 22 and it fit, so if that helps anyone out, great. The suit material was nice and it has great breast coverage if you are not one to let it all hang out at the beach or pool. It just didn't work for me. I am 5'10" and found the skirt did not come down as far on my thighs as other suits I already own plus it also "hiked" up in the back so it was longer in the front than the back which was not attractive. I'm not saying there's not a lot of real estate back there to cover, there definitely is, but this suit style does not cover it to my satisfaction compared to other styles. It had excellent coverage for my 44DDs, but no lift/support at all, so I was basically a big blue blob. It was tighter and there was a lot of extra gathered material around the middle than the photo lets on. My preferred suits are the swimdresses with sculpted bra and loose dress bottom. Not a bad suit for the money if your body can pull it off. Mine cannot.Size 24x - pear shaped body with weight carried in the gut.I usually dread buying bathing suits, especially over the internet. You just never know. This one however, is fabulous! Somehow it made me look thinner, sits right on my hips, and doesn’t slip down my shoulders. It fit perfectly in every way and was true to size. Material felt like it would hold for a long time, and the skirt was a great length (I’m 5’4 and it came about 4 inches before my knees).The only drawback - the ruching on the tummy didn’t quite do as it should. My tummy weight pushed it up so it all ruched near the top. Even then though, it still looked pretty good!Lastly, definitely didn’t show ANY cleavage for me, but i have small boobs for my type of body. They were just swallowed right up (comfortably), never to see the light of day. This might be a good thing if you’re taking the bathing suit to a water park or the beach where you don’t want any slips, seems sturdy enough for that.I love everything about this suit! I am 63, 5’2” and about 180 pounds. So I worry a lot about what a swim suit looks like on my expanding tummy area. For me, this suit is so flattering, pretty, good quality, and fits perfectly! Very pleased!!
