The quality of the suit is wonderful. The color combination and unique design are also a plus. However when it comes to that traditional fit one has long known and loved, it comes up a bit short. Not enough to return the suit mind you, but not one of the top fave suits. The padded bust is not a feature one might ever like or get used to, though its purpose is understandable. The crotch area is too bulky due to the design and cut at an odd leg height for some, which complicates the visual aesthetics.However, the freedom of arm movement this design allows for is a delight, but at the same time it squishes one''s back into a bulge, which is a tad embarrassing if you have excess body mass in that area at present time. No doubt that will be less of an issue when the swimming exercise gets one into better shape.

Im 5feet tall and 110lbs. Got a size 3/4. Had to exchange it for a bigger size. The bottom is smaller than the top. Love the design and the hydro bra though.

did not like this on, thought it would be flattering but it wasn''t.  the leg openings are cut really low, old fashioned to me!
