This swimsuit really makes a lovely impression.  For me, the fit was right.  I think, the problem a few reviewers had might actually be with the style/cut of the bottoms and not, the size.  The bottom's design is not cut in a feminine regular style.  The bottom's design is a sporty lycra tight boy short (this is shown in the photos).  Even, if one doesn't like this particular design in swim bottoms, the price is still great just for the fabulous top alone!
