Have a beach vacation coming up very soon and just realized my bathing suit bottoms are too small. I was very hesitant to order online, but seeing as it's the dead of winter here, I didn't have much of a choice since no store is selling them.
I ordered this in a small. I am 5'1, ~110lbs. I usually wear a 2 or 4 in jeans and either a small or medium in underwear/swim bottoms. This fit very well, much to my surprise and relief. It comes up to just about 1 inch below my belly button, which is what I wanted. The ties can be adjusted, so there is some wiggle room which is great. It didn't give me a muffin top, like the pair I am replacing. And, unlike so many other suits, it covered a good portion of my behind - I don't feel like it's all out there.
I haven't put them to the test, but they seem to be as well made as any other suit I've owned. I'll update if that changes.
