I totally agree with the other reviews posted here- thanks ladies!
I'm 5' but have a long torso and carry most of my 154 lbs. in my torso- this body was built by cheese! so I decided to buy an XL (going off the 10/12- I'm closer to a 10 than a 12) I tend to be a medium in Merona at Target and a large in xhiliration. And I also didn't want to look like mermaid sausage casing lol! I definitely could have sized down.
I'm a 36C in the lingerie co. with a "Secret" and the top was just too big, even when I took out the padding (like other swimsuit tops, nothing bombshell, just little circular foam pads), tried adding the padding from a sports bra, tied it super tight at the neck, etc. it just looked too big for me up top. The bottom was fine, maybe a little loose for a swimsuit. But my self esteem didn't take a hit.
I'd imagine that this is great for busty girls.
The seller was great. As someone else noted, it was cheaper to keep it than return it. I may try my luck with the large as it's so cute! And one of my friends is on their way to a new super cute suit!
