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.

The child size may be better for him. I am 5'10" 180 athletic and it fits me big. a bit baggy. If you were to go for it. you could tie up the pants and sleeves by taking a row or 3 and folding it up a couple rows, and sew it there.. repeat if needed. I highly recommend this companies suit. Best i have had so far. some were up to 400$ nice quality. But this is best i have seen. Own 6^ paintball, air-soft, general sneakiness. BTW... suit has some sort of don't pay attention to me appeal(more than normal).. like less reflective? idk but works perfect. Enjoy.

I apologize for the delayed response - I was not checking email for a while. If you haven't ordered yet, I suggest you try the women's medium. It was just a bit too small for me @ 5'5.5", 130 lbs. It might be a bit too long for you though. I ended up getting FrogTogs instead of the Caddis.

hi Charmaine, I got message from Amazon as I purchased this item before. They are small. Also, seller will refuse refund if you want to return, stating that you wore the suit, even if you didn't. It was a hassle until I involved amazon, then it was ok. hope this helps.

Mine arrived rather long (so long had to cut down about 4 inches of maile, because it surrounded my legs) and had quite some space around the chest, but less around the thighs. All-in-all, sizes are hit and miss, it seems. This shirt and coif is cheap, and if it good for your size, you have 40 pounds of rings to work with. I use the extra stuff i cut down and the coif (since i dont wear it) to make repairs and additions to the shirt. For the money, it is worth a shot. It may appear too tight around your legs, but i needed a belt to secure the extra space around my stomach and chest.

Hello Sandra,The back of this swimsuit comes to about mid-back. The straps do not cross, but are straight, over the shoulder type. This is the best swimsuit style I have ever owned. My current suit is the fourth of this style (twisted bra) & the fifth TYR suit I have had. The fabric is second to none. I swim every day & these suits really stand up to the chlorine. Plus, I really like the style & cut of this suit. I have had two navy blue, one turquoise polka dot & blue flower print version of this style!I I have tried Speedo, which was not sastisfactory - the Endurance suit which I purchased lasted barely six months. I hope you tgry this swimsuit - you will not be disappointed! Cheers! Hello Sandra,The back of this swimsuit comes to about mid-back.

hi. I ordered a XXL. I am size 18 in clothes. chest 38DD waist 37 hips 50 and I am 5'1". this fits perfectly. it is "firm" to wear. I have another suit I wear but it does not "hold" as well. when I exercise in the pool everything stays put in this one. I hope this helps

what is your weight. I guess it will because I'm 5'5 but very curvy in hip and buttock but a small waistline for my size and I order large/XL.

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

This suit runs tight with no stretch and is very short in the legs. I would get the largest one. A better-fitting suit with lots of stretch is the Dolphin Aquatic. Its legs are longer as well.

Polyester doesn't give like lycra and spandex so I would say a 14 to 16 depending on how tight you like the suit to fit. It will feel snugger than a lycra/spandex suit.

I am 5 feet and ordered the medium. It fits me perfectly and does reach the hips. It stays put. I usually order a small, so order 1 size larger than usual. I hope this helps.

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

Well Tom, the best way I can answer your question is with a question. What size is your most comfortable suit? Medium or large? I would try to duplicate it. Less chance of error, but err on the side of comfort.

I ordered a small and it fits fine. 5'6", 144lbs. I also have fuller hips and rear. Hope that helps.

It's pretty tall in my opinion. I am 5'4 and it just fits. However, it is soft, so I wouldn't say it would dig into your hips/rib cage. It just might press against them snugly.

Greetings Jason,I am 5'6" 210 lbs 44 shoulders 38 waist 16 1/2 neck. The suit fits me fine. I am thinking it may be a bit small for you, but then they are wet suits and need to be somewhat tight. I hope this helps. Check the return policy for size, I got mine super fast, so perhaps? Good luck! Jon
