At first Ya it did seem to small, this is after I realized I was more the 5'2 and now 5'5, if you are 5'5 or more I wouldn't suggest this swim suit.

But the Guard label on it started wearing out the 3rd day of use..I mean its a good quality suit, just irking me about the fact  that the guard label on it is peeling.  Its a good suit to last a summer, you might not have the Guard label at the end, but  I race and swim alot in my suit. If you use your suit lightly, dont have kids climbing all over you because they are afraid of water [swim lessons] Its a good suit. Material [other then label] Was worth the price without shipping

I've enjoyed wearing the suit and love the stripes that accentuate curves!

I love this suit for work it is very comfortable even on long days teaching swim lessons

This swimsuit was purchased to be used by a lifeguard and everything about the suit was very satisfying.  However, as you can see by the size of the suit this was purchased for a more full figured woman and thus would be expected to fit someone with a somewhat larger bust area than the size 0-8 ("generally" much flatter chested sizes) so the only thing that could be different would be that you allowed for a bit more material to cover the bust area as there is quite a bit of skin showing from the material to the underarm.  Even in this day and age, there are some woman who would prefer to be more modest.
Thank You.

This is a great suit, especially for tall swimmers.  It is extremely slenderizing and does not ride up.  I would highly recommend this suit to any lifeguard!

looks good on and is comfortable, doesn't ride up much
