Favorite suit for lap swimming--but measure for these sizes, not your normal clothing size!

I just ordered my 3rd or 4th of this suit (I swim laps 2 days a week and the suits start to get baggy after about 6 months). This is the perfect suit--the fabric is substantial and the built-in bra with soft cups provides more support and coverage and modesty. I'm 37 and want a suit that is athletic and supportive, and all the options at my local sporting goods store seemed to be designed either for pre-pubescent teenagers or older women. This is the perfect in-between option. I notice some people have complained about the sizing--I recommend measuring yourself as per the chart and ordering a couple of sizes so you try on and return what doesn't fit. These do run small. I wear a 4 or 6 in clothes and an 8 in these suits; I think that's because most clothing brands use vanity sizing and these suits do not. ;) Also, I want my new suits to be quite snug when I try them on, because they are going to stretch when wet and continue to stretch over time. You don't want it to dig into your skin a lot, but you do want it tight if you're going to be swimming a lot. If you buy a suit that fits perfectly when you try it on, I find that when you get out of the pool you will see it wrinkling and sagging in ways you don't like.

i ordered this bathing suit because it was so adorable and different. i am usually either a small or medium, and ordered a medium in white. i received it about a week later, and was extremely disappointed with how small it was. neither the top OR bottom covered even half of what they should. it fit like an extra small. also, the bottom was see through. other than that it was a good bathing suit. i contacted the seller about the size, and they immediately refunded my money without even returning the item that was too small. i ended up giving that one to my sister who is tiny, and ordered a large black one. it came today, and fit PERFECT. the bottom was still a little snug, but cute and comfortable. not bad quality material at all though, as other reviews said. i love this and cant wait to wear it!

i advise ordering the large, even if you're generally a small. i'm a size 5/7 in pants, and even the large was a little snug on my bottom. ****not for larger girls. they should make an XL and bigger.

I'm 33 in jeans and measure 34 with a tape measure. I ordered 36 (second order). Perfect lap swim trunks (I go every week). They have a double lining unlike the Endurance light, so they are slightly heavier but are less 'exposing' but still being skin tight. They are also the pair that Paragon Sports in New York sell, if I could have done it again I'd have gone there payed the extra $10 and saved the double ordering hassle. Swim trunks are tricky and need to be tried on.

I love this swimming suit. Pay attention to the sizing chart when you order it and you should be just fine! The size that I purchased was a bit larger than what I normally purchase, but that is because the chart explained that this suit ran a little small! I think this is a very classy looking bikini. I would certainly order it again for the price, you can't really beat it!

Wonderful suit.  Remember to order one size up!  Dog has to "move" when in play outside.  My mini schnauzers both measure 17 inches from neck to tail and 20 inches for the chest.  Ordered size 16 for both and fit great!  Any normal dog NOT overweight will have a great time in the rain and snow wearing this suit.  Expensive, but well worth it!!

I love this suit.  The boy-shorts underneath cover everything, and the top has padded cups for modesty, and stays put when I bend over.  It's a nice compromise as a more modest swim suit that looks "normal."
With that said, I think it would only fit a very specific body shape.  I ordered an XL and I am 5'7", and about 120 lbs with a very small bust.  I have a slight pear shape, and it is a bit small in the hips (which I notice when I pull it on and off.  I am actually ordering a 2x because of this.)  I think anyone with curves would have trouble fitting this suit.  If you're like me (no curves, sigh) it is a lovely suit, my new favorite.

UPDATE:  The 2XL was much too big, so I guess I'll stick with my XL though it is a bit snug in the hips.  Still love this suit.

I've read reviews of people complaining that the suit runs small. I'd say it's perfect. For lap swimmers, the suit isn't supposed to feel loose. A good suit will slim you down and feel a little snug - this keeps the water from slowing you down. Order your size - do not size up.

I absolutely, positively adore this swim suit!

PROS:

- It's amazingly cute. It has a 'retro vintage 50's look to it' that makes it modest, and yet sexy at the same time. (I'm a mom in my 30's and don't have the belly I used to, so high waist and full-piece swim suits are ideal for me).

- It fit great! I'm 5'0 and 100-105lbs. and ordered size medium (my usual swim suit size). With that being said, I do have an awkward shape (thicker thighs - I hid them in my images attached to this review, lol) and a larger bust (size D). For me, the sizing was excellent! (Also, for women with smaller chests, keep in mind that these do have firm-formed cups, so it may have a slightly awkward fit in that area, depending on your chest size - no disrespect intended by this comment, I just want everyone to be aware that it will automatically 'shape' the chest area because of the "bra cups" sewn into the suit). For women with larger chests, it helps 'lift' your bust area, which is always a plus!

- Great quality! This suit is very well made. Really happy with it.  Everything felt very comfy.

Overall, I am so happy with this swim suit!

The suite looks great, but sizing runs on the small side. For lap swimming it fits snugly and is a great suit.

First of all, the color on this bathing suit is stunning - the photo doesn't do the brightness justice. It also seems to be made very high quality. The fabric of the actual top and bottom feel great. The skirt is more of a "mesh", so it is see through, but still provides coverage.

 I am so disappointed to say, this bathing suit just did not fit my body style. I wear a size 8 on bottom and a 34C Top. I read many of the other reviews and thought the L (6-8) would work well for me, but it was way too small on the bottom, and a little too big on the top. I would need to have ordered a M top and an XL bottom, but unfortunately mixing and  matching sizes are not an option. Pay close attention  to the weights that are listed in the details. I also struggled to figure out how the back clasp worked. I'm pretty technically savvy, but this closure was unlike anything I've ever seen and I had trouble figuring out how to hook it.

All in all, a beautiful swim suit for the right body type. Sad to say that was not me :(

I love this bathing suit. I started with a 2x because it equated to a size 8-10 but needed to send it back for a 3x which equated to a 10-12. I am usually between a size 8 and 12 so I really didn't know which one to go with. The 2x fit pretty well but I have a longer torso and it felt a little short therefore was tight around my neck when tied it. I thought about keeping it since the rest fit pretty well but thought I'd go ahead and try the 3x and it does fit perfectly so I am glad I did. The fabric feels nice and seems to be constructed well. I will probably avoid swimming in the pool with this one, based on other reviews of fading, and use it for the beach or lying by the pool.

I love skirted suits that do not feel like I'm wearing a tent dress, this fit the bill. Cute, colors vibrant, but it does RUN SMALLER.  I ordered an 18 plus (I usually wear a 16) because I figured this would run smaller... but it wouldn't even go over my thighs.. so I gave this to my daughter in law who is always borrowing some of my swimsuits.  She needed one and it fit her just fine.  She wears a 12 usually (and I have some smaller suits that fit her because I'm an avid swimmer).  I also received this product at a discount from the seller to give my honest review.

PRO:
Lined & "shaped" bra w/underwire.  Able to handle my daughter in law's very large chest area securely.
Vibrant colors (quite attractive)
Skirted to cover top of thigh issues
Skirt won't "float up" when swimming like some.  Low sewn skirt = less "float up", stays in place very well
Adjustable straps
Comfortable to wear (per my daughter in law)
Lined crotch area
Stitching was tight and no flaws
Material is the perfect thickness, not thin
Straps aren't wide, but I find this is acceptable since I don't like wide straps on my suits
Comfortable to wear (per my daughter in law who wears it)
Holds up in pool water just fine

CON:
* Sizing is quite off!!!  As with most Asian sizes, these sizes run small.  The 18 plus fit my 12 Regular sized daughter in law.  This is the only reason I knocked off a star.  Another reviewer said the XXL (the one I got) would fit a size 10.  I'm thinking it fit more comfortably if the person were a regular size 12.  Unless the size 10 is rather busty in the chest area, a size 12 person would fit this well.

** Bust area is large.  I can see a small chested gal having a problem with the size of the bra.  They got the bra size great if the chest is larger, but they need to work on the other proportions for a better fit.

Overall, my daughter in law is happy she has a swimsuit to wear, she loves this one, and I'm glad I could give her this instead of having to return it.

The photo really is bad and at an unflattering angle, but she had only just tried it on....

This suit is really great, the crisscross straps can never fall down, the top makes boobs look AMAZING, the suit smooths out lumps in your body, and the skirt provides some upper thigh coverage. HOWEVER, the chinese sizes are not what you would get in a store. What would sell as a Medium in the US is an XL in this suit, so pay close attention to the size you order.

This is very high quality. But I am a size 30 and I followed the sizing instructions, but I still had to return it and get a 32. The 32 fits fine, it's just a tight fitting suit that I have to get accustomed to. But I love the fit and the quality is excellent and I love how good it feels in the water. A great, high quality bathing suit.

I've only used it a few times so I can't say if it will hold its color, but I'm relying on other reviews. Plus, I soak it in a tablespoon of baking soda and water when I get home to slow down fading. A tip from my mom who loves to work out in pools.

As mentioned in other comments, pay attention to the size chart. For reference, I am 56 and 240 pounds, and I bought the 5X. I love the way this suit fits! The top is push-up, which I love! Its a tad tight around the thighs, but its not so tight that it hurts. This is my new favorite bathing suit!

This is such an amazing and hot looking bathing suit, however, the sizes are incredibly small!!! I'm 5'5 & weigh 140lbs & bought a S initially. Had to exchange for an M and now I am returning the M for a L. I'm just hoping the L fits perfectly & if it doesn't, it's going to be super disappointing because the suit is soooo sexy!

I love this suit!  I read other suggestions and ordered a larger size.  I'm usually a 1x and wear a DD bra so I ordered a 5x & 6x.  Both fit great.  Top fit better on the 6x and bottom fit better on the 5x.  I ended up keeping both.
Wore it to the pool and felt great.  Every thing stayed in place.  My favorite thing about this suit is the bottoms are shorts, this minimizes chafing :-)
