I bought this suit about three and a half months ago, the fit was fantastic. It was as though the gods themselves molded it for my body. It's terrific for strenuous workouts(two hours thirty minutes/day for me): it has yet to lose it's elasticity. Having bought the blue suit, (which is beautiful on lighter skin tones might I add) I am a bit melacholy that this suit lost it's color so quickly. The darker blue lateral areas of the suit will fade to brown :(Don't let me turn you off of it though, because the suit itself is worth every single dime, if not more.
