I bought this swimsuit as I really liked the flattering design. After reading other reviews recommending to upsize by one size i did exactly thus and it proved to be the way to go. I an a typical 14/16 chest size, but a 12 bottom. This swimsuit bottom can be tightened up due to the side draw strings which tempt it perfectly comfortable, and not too loose. It is hard to get an all in one swim suits that fits both top and bottom different sized individuals so flatteringly. I am very happy with my purchase.
