Very cute bottoms.  I bought the medium (5' 5" 130lbs) and they look great when the suit is dry.  Once I got into the pool they were a bit too loose.  I tied them tighter but the tie does not go around the waist, it just cinches in the fabric a little bit.  It was fine for the swimming pool but I wouldn't wear them down a waterslide or open water.  I ordered the size small too, because I love the suit and need a pair of bottoms that will stay during active water time.
