I ordered up a size as recommended by previous reviewers, but this suit was still a bit small for me. (I ordered a 10 and am usually and 8.) The skirt is not as full as other swim dresses I have worn so it doesn't float away from the body; it is more clingy. In addition, one of the cups had material that was wrinkled or bunched inside the fabric of the swimsuit, leaving a bulky line across the front of the suit.
