I have this in black in a size 8 (which is my usual swimsuit size, I am 5'6' and 130). It is so flattering on me (in my 40's). It's very soft and comfortable. It also has some added detail- the braided rope straps, the ruching at the sides, the lower back, and the lower underarm cut outs, that add interest for those of us that want something modern but want something modest as well. It IS lined- two layers of fabric, which is nice. It is not a "tight" swimsuit like some I have tried on. I prefer this. It's beautiful and I love it!
