This was the most comfortable bathing suit for me to wear four months after having a baby on my trip to Jamaica. I am 57 and was 165 pounds at the time(size 6-8 in clothes) and the medium fit great. I was a 36 C and the top was just a tad big but not big enough to be uncomfortable. The bottoms were what was impressive. They were the perfect amount of coverage...I wasn't hanging out of them and they didn't look like a granny either. Great suit for the price!
