What customers say:
Customers are divided on this swimsuit. Many praise the quality, soft fabric, modest coverage, and flattering design, but roughly half report severe fit problems. Reviewers consistently note the suit runs extremely small—even sizing up two sizes leaves it impossible to pull on or too tight at the waist and bust. The shirring and plastic-lined bindings offer no stretch. Those who found the right size call it well-made and comfortable, but widespread sizing inconsistency has led to frustration and returns. Some mention uncomfortable non-adjustable straps or heat retention from thicker fabric.

Based on other reviews I ordered a size 10 even though I usually wear a small. This is cute, but definitely a "swim dress", not a swim suit with a skirt. I did not have any troubl

Bathing suit
I’m 5’6 125 pounds and I bought size 10. The suit is tight and the shorts are a little big but I’m going to keep it. I like this bathing suit and I think the sale price is fair.

Very tight
Weight: 120-130 lbs
Height: 5'3"
Size Purchased: 10
I am 5'3" and weigh 120. A size 10 in this was very tight. I am usually 6-8. Any bigger and it would have been too long. I had to return it.
