Now, the suit is really pretty and has a lot of potential, but it may not be for every body type. I'm smaller on the top than the bottom, so I bought my suggested size. My main issue was the stitching of the padding higher than it should usually fall. Other than that, while the bottom could have been a bit more snug, size-wise, the top was too big. There was a hollow across the back piece when I tried to shorten the straps to help with how loose the top was on me.
