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.

I weight the same as you and have hips also, will recommend you order it in large. I don't know why this style runs smaller than other zumba stiles. With this size I feel more comfortable doing zumba.

It has pretty good coverage but definitely not full coverage. I have a decent sized booty right now after baby (size 8 pant, medium girdle), and I've never had any problems with riding up or visible lines.

I am a 3X and it is just right with a little to spare; you have to put it tight/ You also have to adjust it after wearing a while, but it does help keep hip pain down while doing things like sweep,vacuum etc. The tighter the better. I don't have it out right now or I would measure, but it is very long. It just slips and needs adjusting, but haven't found anything better. If worn over something like this picture, I think it would stay on really well- that I will try myself. Heat helps at night, too. Good luck! :)

Hi Alexandra, had to dig out my old metric converter. I am about 175 CM tall and the small size drysuit fits me great. Did you know that you can get dry socks for this suit? You have to cut the ankles on the suit and glue the socks on though, stretched over a small coffee can. Make sure you get them pointed the right way too.

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.

Dear buyer: I bought this suit, and it barely fitted my then 10 years old, kinda skinny little boy. But then, I stretched it a bit, surprise, it fitted, so I guess it worked out for us. Hope this helps.

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.!!

There is a chart on O Neills web site .... Go there and check... That is how I did .The wet suit is great and fits perfect with no harm to the skin in any point !

Yow! That could be coooold! I would maybe look at a 4 or 5 mm thickness suit, that said, this is so cheap and if you get it on prime with free returns... Anyway, I'd guess Medium so you're not wrestling too much to get it on. It does need to be fairly tight and in contact with the skin to work properly, mine has a spot in the small of my back that doesn't contact so it makes a cold spot, which seems to be typical of low-cost wetsuits, but at this price I can't complain too much.

When I ordered this item it was in the pictures. I will copy the info from the box. When measuring you measure around your hips to your belly button which is hard to guesstimate when expecting in my opinion. Extra Small: 32.5"-35" small: 35.5"-39.5" medium" 40"-43" large: 43.5"-47" extra large: 47.5"-52" when I ordered this I ordered a medium. I lost 30 lbs after giving birth and still thought it was to tight. I ordered a medium and wish I would have ordered a large. It may have been more comfortable but then again I like my clothing looser around my waist. When I ordered this item it was in the pictures. I will copy the info from the box.

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 had big hips as well..I got an X n sized down within a week or 2 so it's up to you if you're going to buy 2..it's going to be pretty tight if you size down..I didn't believe I needed an X but when I got it it was right

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

I too own this and love it. It best fits 15-17. I know the seller states the size is measured to the bottom of hip belt but I disagree. Best measurement is from strap to MID hipbelt which is 16- 16 1/2 so this should be perfect for you. You want the hip belt on your hips- not mid waist which is what would happen for those with torso lengths longer than 17" or so.

I love this shirt! I got it because it is very fitted - a different style than most Columbia shirts. I am 5'5" and 145 lbs. I bought a Medium because I like the fitted look. I have worn a sleeveless Tee underneath. the shirt is also cut up slightly at the sides, with a bit longer tail and front, not the style generally tied at the waist. If you definitely want to wear the shirt that way, I would recommend the Larger size. Hope this helps!

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.
