I teach swimming and bought the suit to use and abuse daily in a chlorine pool-so far it is holding up (after a solid week of use) fairly well, the price was unbeatable for a 2 piece tankini, but I'm glad i read the other reviews-it does RUN SMALL so i bought a size too big-and it is about right.
Use once a week for son's swim lesson. Fit's really nice. Does not cover stomach if that's what you're looking for. It hasn't faded or stretched on me yet but I've only used it 4 times and I rinse it in cold water right after swimming. The color and pattern are really nice.
I had to order this suit 2 sizes up - My clothes run 8/10 - and I had to order a 14/XL. Also, the tank is a little short - it shows a little more of my belly than I would like. But the suit is adorable.
So far, no major complaints. This suit definitely does fit small. I am about 5'8" and size 6 pants. I think I wear a 36L or 38L in full pieces. I bought the large and it fits well. There is about 3 inches of bare tummy, but that's kind of how it looks in the picture. The suit is fully lined and feels like good quality. An improvement would be a shelf bra inside the top, but it will work OK just without for now. A great suit for the price!
The top is too small. It is not a tankini, it is more like a bikini.
Nice quality and great colors. Fits well with no baggy areas.
