This bathing suit is amazing. I was super skeptical about buying a suit online, trying to find one in the store is hard enough. But I'm so glad I did. I'm a size 18 and according to the chart got the 4x which sounded absurd but it fits like a glove. Very flattering, great bust support and the shorts fit great over my thick thighs and big butt. Love this suit, wish there were more color options, I would get a couple more!
