Size: Feels too small

I wear a 34D and have a curvy backside. Still, I figured my measurements should help me pick a size. Well, I pulled out the tape measure before ordering and I am definitely 37 - 28 - 38. According to the chart, this should be a size 36. This size cut into my rear too much and didn''t feel generous enough in the top. I had ordered the larger size, 38, and kept that one. I tried on several performance bikinis, and this one gave me the best fit on my curves. I also kept a Dolfin Ugly bikini, size large (again, despite the chart).  I haven''t tested these in the water yet, but maybe someone can benefit from the sizing information.

It feels very comfortable and it fit perfect.  I was a little bit hesitant about buying a swim suit online but it was great. The design is pretty, the cut is perfect (kind of sexy) and after swiming in the ocean I got home and kept it while I mop the house because I did not want to take it off.

Super fit.  I HIGHLY suggest using the Arena size chart.  I ordered this for my 16 year old daughter who swims year-round.  She is very picky about how suits fit.  We measured her and chose the size suggested by the Arena size chart.  The suit fits like a glove and doesn't move at all in the water.  Very well made, very comfortable suit.  And it looks great on!

Can U say 'itsy-bitsy-teeny-weenie'?  Definitely not enough material for a 59 yr old body - even one in good shape.

I planned to use this suit for swimming training. I really liked the way the top fit; it was a little challenging to get the straps set up but once on, it seemed like everything was in the right place and looked attractive. The bottom, however, was very revealing. It is low-slung on the hips and leaves little to the imagination in the backside. I guess the designer had a pre-pubescent body in mind. I sadly returned the product; the fabric looked like it would have lasted a long time, but I couldn't wear it out of the house.

Size: Feels too big

I carefully measured my body and then ordered according to the size chart.

I would say the bottoms are a bit loose, but very comfortable and stay put.  The rear is cut a bit small and is a bit "cheeky" but I don't mind it because it stays put and doesn't ride up; I find it cute and fashionable.  The drawstring really holds it on for lap swimming and flip turns.  

The top however, even though the size feels a bit big around the torso, rides up despite tightening it with the drawstring as much as possible.  I am constantly pulling it down in and out of the water, wet and dry.  A bit unnerving and distracting; wondering if an ocean wave will just knock it askew.  I don''t trust it yet, although it has not fallen off or exposed me.   I wonder if this "ride up" problem will relax once the cross straps stretch out a little.  I am an athletic 34B with a narrow torso so the top covers the cleavage well.  The top's drawstring does not stay hidden inside the top, but this doesn't bother me as much as it tickles my skin when dry.  

Otherwise, the soft fabric and print/color is very nice and of very good quality.  The fabric  is thin in comparison to other polyester suits, even though it is lined, so the nipples are a bit prominent, particularly in cooler water or in a cool breeze.   I realize I prefer a solid, secure band (elastic and/or drawstring) around my torso under the bust and this top just doesn't have that.  This top does not offer much in terms of support for those who need it.
