I buy the same size Dolfin polyester suits all the time, so why is this one so tiny compared to the others? Three reasons I can see: 1) the fabric is reversible polyester, so I''m dealing with two layers of non-stretch fabric instead of one with a stretchy lining, 2) the back is different. Instead of elastic around the lower back, they''ve used strap binding. It''s too tight and it gives me back poufs and 3) I think the strap binding on the back actually pulls the suit in tighter. Doesn''t work for me and I''m bummed because I love the graphic.

First time to order this brand.  Was too large, and have to return it.  Also, it does not seem that the fabric is as good of quality as TYR or Speedo.

Fits my daughter well.  Not too small across the butt which makes her feel like her "cheeks" are exposed.  Like the thin back straps.  Print looks good.

Well made, good fit, quality product

I use this to teach swim lessons, it is very small! I but it still fits me and it worksalone, I just need to break it in some more so it won't be quite so incomfortable! I think I ordered down a size from last time i ordered a swim suite, but I got sized and that was the size thy told me to order...so order a size up! It's a GREAT swim suite tho!

I was looking for a swimsuit to teach swim lessons in with a back different than my lifeguarding suit so I thought this one would be perfect! I got in in the mail yesterday, and when I tried it on it did not stretch well at all, it was difficult to pull up, and was not very comfortable. It was the same material as my team competition suit in high school, and decided that I couldn't deal with that material at all. I will be sending it back for a different kind, and probably different brand.
