I originally used the sizing chart for "aquatic fitness suits" which I thought this suit was. I ordered the size which corresponded to my measurements, but it ended up way to big. I returned it and ordered my regular dress size, and that suit fit perfectly. I really like the fact that the suit is fully lined. It makes me feel a little more covered than the average suit. I do water aerobics 4-6 times per week and have worn the suit for only about 3 weeks now, but it seems to be holding up well. I would highly recommend this suit and this brand to all of my friends and family.
Having read reviews that this suit is true-to-size, which is not a given when ordering online, I stuck to my usual size, but ironically it is a little big. But the suit itself is wonderful - fully lined and strong reinforced stitching. I would buy this suit again - just not the same size!
The material was great as were the length of the legs for modesty.As a double C cup there could have been a little more room around the bustline.All in all I am delighted with this product.
I'm large busted and it is a bit tight but all in all I like it and it feels good.
Wonderful suit!!!! It's modest yet stylish, and the purple color is GREAT!...nothing 'matronly' about this suit. It is used rigorously in water aerobics and it is holding it's shape and color....although I am losing weight now that I have started exercising again...(Yeah!!!) so I ordered this SAME suit again only 2 sizes smaller. This suit still looks brand new and it's been in the city's chlorinated pools for hours and hours!!! There is quite a 'generous' cut under the arms that may bother some....but for me it is great - as it does not 'cut into me' when I am doing work outs. Also, I love the criss-cross in the back.....no straps falling no matter what position I am in.
I bought this swimsuit for lap swimming at the YMCA. All the suits I have used in the past have been eaten away by chlorine. This suit has not faded or stretched out. It is also very comfortable. The only complaint I do have is the straps are hard to get straightened out while putting it on. But overall... I would recommend this suit to anyone who does water aerobics or lap swimming.
