The photo varies from the actual print on this super sporty tight bikini. The pattern I got was more of a royal blue with purple. Still great! To echo the other reviews, the top is snug. I am a 34B bra size. This top held them in and announced "here they are!!" They looked good, but not spike a beach volleyball in public good. Larger cups, rib cages or even different shaped breasts would be compressed and displaced awkwardly. As for the bottom, I am a Latina with a round wide booty. The top fits, the bottoms make my butt look like a Brazilian cut bathing suit gone bad. I wanted to keep this bathing suit so badly! Darn my size 4/6 top and size 8 bottom.... I ended up with an XL sporti bikini bottom and a L sporti top. Overall, this bathing suit needs to offer separate sizes. I would recommend it for active or athletic women who need a fun print! This suit would fit an older teen or young adult, someone who does not have curves, top heavy or is bottom heavy. This suit is worth buying and trying it on if you meet the parameters!!

Check the illusions' size chart before ordering. It runs true to size. The buttom is a little lower rise than I would like. It tends to ride down a bit in the back if I push too hard off the wall. But easily fixed by tying up the cord. I'm 37-29-38.5 size 34 fits perfect.

Cute Suit - a Good Fit |

Other comments about sizing made me look carefully at the Illusions size table before ordering. I ordered from the chart & according to my measurements and the suit fits well. I am not a swimmer/racer or diver, but I like to be active in the ocean so I always look for a suit that will not fall off. The snug fit, particularly of the top, felt a bit unusual at first, but after an entire afternoon in and out of the water I was used to it. Friends commented positively on the suit and its fit. The drawstring is truly ridiculously long - I cut mine and fixed (melted) the ends with a lighter. The colour is okay - I was hoping it would be a bit more turquoise/blue, but there is quite a lot of black in the pattern which is not so evident in the photos on line. All up I like the suit and I think I will enjoy wearing it for water activities.

This suit is very small as others have said. I am a small person, and size 28 is very tight (but normally is my size). Top tends to ride up in the back, and the bottoms are cut so low in front and back, that I feel barely covered. I will likely have to return - and sorry about this because I like the color.

Glad I followed other reviews! I wear a dress size 4 or 6, depending, and I usually bounce between a suit size 28 and 30, depending on the brand. I went with a 32 for this suit and I'm glad I did. I have almost no breasts and it fits pretty snug, but so far it's been great as a training suit for the outdoor pool. The bottoms are good too, with the drawstring. Everything stays in place when I'm diving in and pushing off the walls.

Sizing chart is accurate; the other reviews are subjective |

I read the comments that this suit runs small. So I ordered a size larger than the sizing chart recommended. I usually wear a 34 in Speedo, Dolfin and Tyr suits. The Illusions sizing is on a different scale, and their 34 is too big for me, so it is important to scrutinize the Illusions sizing chart and plug in one's measurements. I will return it and get a smaller size. One thing I noticed is that the bottoms have an enormous and unneccessarily long and thick drawcord. Indeed, a drawcord is necessary for a two piece workout suit, but the problem with this one is that when you tuck that enormous drawcord into the bottoms, there is a big ugly lump! So, if I decide to keep the smaller suit because it fits well (I am hoping it does), I will definitely cut the long drawcord to an appropriate length. This long, fat drawcord was a detail that seemed like ridiculous overkill to me. On a good note, the suit is well cut and is cute. The top is snug around the chest even in the larger size.
