Fits very well; since I am shortwaisted, it would have been great if the pants were cut a little longer.  I do not care for hip riders, but they are covered by the top so it doesn't show. It is nice thick material and feels like a good product when wearing it.

It was quite a surprise to discover that the bottom band on this suit measures 5 ½ inches from top to bottom!  This factor should have been included in the product description.  It only says “wide black band at bottom to hold top in place”.  Apparently this feature allows you to wear it up or down lower on your hips.  I would prefer a band that is no more than 2 inches, has a stopping point that is low on the hips only, and does not have to be adjusted up or down.  I am keeping the suit because it is gorgeous and hides my figure flaws.  How many suits could do that?  I think I will be able to get used to adjusting it to the right length every time I put it on.  I hope I am not disappointed when I actually wear it to go swimming and/or sit by the pool.

I love the suit.  I ordered it knowing the bottom would be too big and it is and am hoping I can find one that is about the same color of black. The top is exactly what I wanted and I love it.  With my shape, I get 2 pieces knowing I have to have different sizes and usually like to get separates.  This time I couldn't, but got a top that is fantastic.
