I looked for a long time to find a bottom that I actually liked. When I came across this one I was excited to purchase it. Upon receiving these bottoms and trying them on, I was not impressed. I'm usually at most between a 10-12 and I ordered a 16 to be on the safe side because I hate when bikini bottoms dig into your hips giving you love handles that weren't there to begin with. If anything I wanted it to be loose - it wasn't. I have never in my life been a size 16, I literally top out at size 12 and that's usually during the Christmas season. Otherwise I hover around a size 10. Regardless of the fit, the 2 stars I gave it was for the quality of the bottoms. The material was good quality and I still like the design, but the sizing is WAY off. Buyer beware!

I love the way you can fold over as little or as much at the waistline!
