m looking for a suit that isn't high-cut over the hips, in the picture, this suit seems to have a longer cut, how do you rate the cut on the hips?

I would say it's high cut over the hips. I would go a size up if you want more fabric there.

Hi Cici,I'd say it's a little higher cut than I'm used to - I generally buy suits that are made for doing laps in a pool (rather than lounging beside the pool) - but it's not extreme by any means. I think the style is flattering and it's good value for the money (pool suits usually being $80+). Hope this helps. Cheers, hm

I found the suit to be a bit large in the hips, or seat, actually. plenty long enough.

They are more of a slim fit (depending on body build), but not trimmed cut. If you are looking for loose fit, try a different model. Hope this is useful.

Those things are tricky. I'm 5'1", 121 lbs, 38 hips, 34 chest and wear a size 2, small. It fits just right, with no room to spare. However, I've bought and returned small and mediums from other brands because they were either too tight around the hip and/or too big around the chest. I would go with a medium if your chest is bigger than mine. Good lucky.//L

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

I think it would be about right...it depends on...trying to be pg here....on your "shoulder" size ;-) these are front zip suits, and for me (broad chest and shoulders, that is a challenge)....Are you by a store where you can try it on? The plus of Women's suits is that they are better fitting, in hips etc, which helps keep you warm. Hope that helps

probably just the large unless you have a long torso, then go up bc i am an off the rack body at every size i have been and this suit would be too short in the inseam for a long torso person if it fit otherwise. also you may want to wear a sport bra under it. the shelf bra in it is not structured but in water i don't bother for obvious reasons

I love my suit, if you buy it make sure you size up. For example if you wear a size large buy an X-large...I hope this was helpful.!!

You could pad the waist and hips and possibly make those pads removable. This dress form is more of a display and light working dummy. For actual tailoring you should buy an adjustable one for a perfect fit every time.

I'm 5"9-10" and 135lbs, the medium large was pretty big on me, and pretty long on my too. He should do great in the medium large, so he won't be tripping over it every step like I was. By the way, there is two slits by his pants pockets, they are supposed to be there for pocket access. This suit is extremely warm also. Hope this helps!

Well, I bought one, and I'm 5'9", it's really right around the waist, but if you have shorter legs it should look good. I have really long legs so it looked a little long and it wasn't very covering on me. It should look longer, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a high waisted.

I just looked up the TYR sizing chart and it's pretty true across the board. I wear a 6 in most clothing (I'm petite but muscular) and I have a XS in the bikini like they recommended. Be aware that the fit is snug though, like it's supposed to be. As a swimmer, I would always go with more snug because a suit top that drags down to my waist when I flip turn or sags in the butt is annoying. That's what I love about this suit- it's two piece and stays right where it's supposed to; so personally I wouldn't size up.

I'm 5'3" and it's actually a hair short for me. It doesn't fall on my hip like I would like, but just above. Hope that helps!

I am 5'2", with 34DDs and long legs. Not long torso. I find with TYR swim suits I wear an 8 rather than a 6 as I might expect. The size 8 fits me perfectly. I cannot recommend this suit highly enough especially with the adjustable straps. Go for it!

The wet suit belongs to my son. He is about 6' 1" and probably weighs around 150 - 155. The size he got was MT which I assume is a medium tall. He is happy with the fit.

I am 5'7 and it was very long on me. If I were your height I would probably go a little shorter. But, you can always cut it.

Recently ordered 2XL for a 6'4 , 225# male. Had to return due to length was insufficient. However the suit was sufficiently "rounded". I would recommend the 2XL just to allow ease of movement.

I got the XXL because I'm fat - 5'7", 240lbs. The XXL fits me great. I suspect the XXL would fit you as well (5'11", 160lbs.)- would be fine length-wise with plenty of room in the waist (waist has elastic). This is a good quality suit and well designed.
