My daughter loved the print and colors of this suit - and only wanted a tankini - so we ordered this Kanu Surf Big Girls Summer Dream Tankini Swimsuit.  She is lean and runs "skinny".  She is 12 and so we ordered a 12 - generally, she has always been the same size as her age.  This suit ran small, so we ordered a 14, and found the bottoms were perfect in the 14, but the 14 top fit the same as a the size 12 top.  A real bummer - she was super disappointed that this suit didn't come in a 16, as she was super keen to keep trying to "make this fit" as she liked it so much.  Other than the fact that it runs small, I give this 4 stars because the suit is adorable, the colors vibrant, and the fabric is of good quality - and compared to what we usally purchase, I'd say this suit was comparable (we generally only purchase Hanna Andersson suits because we enjoy a lot of water play during the summers and want our suits to last.)
