This suit is too thick/ or heavy because of too much material. The top was ok but the shorts were humungous!!! They felt WAY out of porportion to the rest of the suit. If you are average sized from the top & bottom, this probably won't work. If you try it, I'd suggest size ATLEAST 1-2 sizes down. If you carry weight in hips/thighs than this might work better for you.
