It fits the way I hoped it would. I use it to give swim lessons. I just wish my butt wasn't so big so it would cover more of my backside, but that's not the suit's problem. It has a nice weight.
Pluses: The purple is rich and vibrant and the fit is comfortable.Drawbacks: Lack of shelf bra and the elastic around the legs seemed stretched out even before the very first wearing.
I bought this suit for my 8 yo daughter for the second year in a row. It fits perfectly and the elastic doesn't get loose. The only thing that is a minor issue to me is that it is cut high on the side, but she doesn't mind it. I will definitely be buying the same suit next year if she joins the same swim team again.
Great buy for the money.
My kids wear suits every morning for an hour and a half for swim team practice. After just 4 practices the nice royal blue color turned to purple and then pinkish. I am disappointed with the die used for the royal blue color. It obviously does not stand up to clorine. We also are very carefull to rinse the clorine out of our suits after each use yet they faded within a weeks time.On the positive side. Swim Outlet replaced the suits with no hassles. Thank you!
Suit way too small.
