The suit feels true to size and was long enough for my 5'11 frame, but the back comes up pretty high and makes my feel like an old lady wearing it. "Contemporary" is not a word that I would use to describe it. However, overall is comfortable and useful as a workout suit for the pool.
I love this swimsuit! I am a lap swimmer, 4 days a week and was looking for a stylish, affordable and comfortable suit which is difficult for me to find since I need the long torso special size. I ordered it in my normal dress size and it fits perfectly, is comfortable and is flattering. I wish it came in polyester, too, since I have been told that is a more chlorine resistant fabric
I swim several miles a week and find this suit extremely comfortable as well as flattering.
I do lap swimming almost every day, and the suit I wear needs to feel snug yet have some stretch to it as I swim. This suit is great. It seems true to size and does not stretch out too much even as it gets used a lot. I personally think it's great for fitness swimming, and I also think it's great, since it's one of the few suits that comes in "long waisted" sizes, which I need. My only wish for this suit is that it came in a few more colors, like a red, even a combination of colors would be nice.
Long torso is great fit, but the shoulder straps are a bit too long if you are average height but long torso size. It's OK, though. I only wish the leg openings were a bit higher to look more contemporary. Bust support is really good for a shelf bra type. All-in-all, a good lap-swim or water aerobics suit.
It's a great fitting suit but I wish there was a little thicker lining in the breast area.
