Unfortunately, I listened to the reviews and opted to size up for this suit, which was a mistake. It's my guess that all the folks saying this suit runs small are either very tall, have long torsos, or have never worn a competitive swim suit before. (Hint: It's *supposed* to be tight!)For reference, I am 5'3", 35 bust, 28 waist, 39 hip, and the size 36 was HUGE--I could pull up about 4" of slack on the straps, and there was puckering throughout the waist. I am heavier on the bottom and the leg openings were snug, but again, that's how it's supposed to be (so it doesn't ride up your butt while you're swimming laps. Ever had a flip-turn wedgie?).That being said, the suit itself seems very nice--good material and vibrant colour. I'm returning the 36 and ordering a 34. I will update this review when I have a suit that fits.Based on other reviews, I ordered a bigger size, which wasn't what I should have done. I was a competitive swimmer in the past and figured maybe sizing had changed (I last wore a 34, which is what I should have stuck with). In that, if you are using this for workout/competitive swimming stick with the size that aligns with your traditional one. The suits are meant to be tighter and not create drag when in the pool as water typically loosens the suit. Was sad to have to return this, as it was a great suit and I received it quickly!Great suit! I've worn this suit several times and it's holding up well and I like the pattern. I spend a lot of time at the pool and try to buy speedo endurance suits because I know the material will hold up to a lot of time in the chlorine. I'm 5'6" and about 135 lbs. I find that the bottom of the suit fits well, but it's a little big in the top. I am a 34b bra size.got a larger size since previous reviews mentioned this. the bottom, leg holes were a bit large & loose. I am short: 5'2". product may have been a return: box a bit squished, removable protector crotch liner bunched up. top was narrow as stated, even tho only a b cup, thought top exposed more than other suits. but arm staps were great, never had suit w/straps. love the arm freedom. was only $14 so what the heck. fine for the price.I've just swam a mile in my new suit so far. So, hopefully, after more miles, it will maintain it's color and stretch. It fits fine but I did order one size larger than my usual size as recommended in other reviews. I would recommend this suit to others.Great swimsuit! Fit a little small so had to exchange for larger size but able to move freely. Would definitely recommend!---However, the price had suddenly jumped up by $59 when I went to buy a second suit!! (bought for under $13 originally)Nice looking but seems of lesser quality fabric than other Speedo products I own.I liked the style of this but it fit much larger than the same size Speedo in a different style. I normally buy a 38 in the flyback style, and this one was wayyyyyy too big in the chest and straps. It would have become a parachute in the water. Nice if you're going for drag training, I suppose. I felt like I would have to go two sizes down to get it to fit across the chest and then it would have likely been too small across the hips. sadly, this went back.This suit is not sized correctly. I ordered according to size chart and went one size bigger way too small. Returned it and ordered from another seller for a true fit.Love it!too small and didn`t like the design
