We choose this suit hoping for a bikini that offered coverage while still being cute and youthful. This suit was perfect. It stays in place, the colors are great, and my daughter (early teens) swears by the comfort. After two weeks of hard wear - this suit stayed on while knee boarding and tubing at the lake and survived a hard seven days of beach play at the ocean - the fit and color are true. No picks, no pills. Great quality at any price. These suits are a must for athletic teenage girls looking to add an element of fashion and fun to their suit wardrobe. My daughter wears a size 3 and a medium provided an ample fit.
