This is a great athletic bikini. There is enough coverage so I wasn't self conscious and it has a very comfortable cut. It didn't ride up or down and stayed in place for my swim workout. It is tight though! I ordered a Small and I'm 5'5, 115lb, small chested.

I love this suit! It fits great and it looks really good on. I use it for my swim workouts and it stays in place well. My only complaint is that there is a big tag on the black side of the top. The suit is supposed to be reversible, which it is but only if you can figure out how to get the tag off without tearing up the suit. They really should've put in a Taraway tag instead of sewing one into the fabric. I ended up having to cut it off as close to the suit as I could and then using a Sharpie to black out the area that you could still see white from the tag.

Reading the other reviews on this, I was skeptical on deciding on a size. Regardless of the reviews saying it ran small, I bought a medium (which is what I usually wear) and I don't have any problems with the way it fits me. I will be using this for training purposes so I prefer it being a little snug, but it is not uncomfortable at all. I do wish that they sold the top and bottom separately, because the medium bottom is a bit big on me, I would prefer a size small. Overall though, I am happy with my purchase. Height: 5'2"; Weight: 135lbs; Cup Size: 36C; Clothing Size: 2-4, S-M.

I used this 2 piece to compete in an Olympic Distance triathlon. It worked well. The fit was nice and snug like I wanted for the race. Even though the sizing chart had me at an XS, I ordered both and XS and a S because for whatever reason on almost all sizing charts I fall within the XS size and it's always too small. I ended up using the S. Also, I liked that this bathing suit was thicker. I guess because it is reversible. It felt more secure. I wanted that feeling more so for the run portion of the triathlon since I would be using it as my sports bra.

I'm 5'3" and 135 pounds. I wear a 28 in paints and am a full 34C. I ordered a large and a medium. I kept the medium because the top fit better. Both bottoms were snug and not flattering (causes muffin top), so I went with purpose over style. The large bottom didn't appear wider, just longer. This is a great snug suit. I've worn mine several times and thus far it has not stretched out. This 2 piece is surprisingly more comfortable than a 1 piece and great under a wetsuit. The top is also supportive, making it great for triathlons. Once this baby is on, there's no adjusting. Love it!

I'm very happy with the suit, but yes it runs very small. I wear a 6-8 dress size but an XL in this swimsuit. I'm glad I read the other reviews first or I never would have thought to order an XL.

I am in love with this. All the other reviews are accurate, this suit does run small. I am 5'4 and weigh 130. I usually am a medium/small but I ordered a large and it fits perfectly. I went swimming in it and there's not one thing I would change. It's secure and flattering. I 100% recommend!

Love this suit! Keeps all body parts kept in place and does not ride or pull. Fits comfortably around the legs and the top keeps the girls in. Perfect for being active, in and out of the water and I like how modest but cute it is. I love also that it is reversible so I feel like I got two suits in one! The material is soft as well, and non see through which is what my hopes were for this suit. Definitely my new favorite!

Everyone's royalty at Zappos. Zappos is the perfect online shopping service. Polite, efficient & proactive. Thanks to Zappos I was able to determine the right size for me without worry. Product Fit: I had to buy this 2 sizes up (on the size chart I was an XS; I ended up with a M). Style/Look. Athletic. Use: I bought this for lap training in the pool. It is serving its purpose.

Love this suit, super sporty, seems durable and the top is supportive. I went up one size to a small from my usual xs based on other reviews and it fits perfect. I am 5'5, 112lbs, 32B, 24in waist, no hips - very muscular build. I hate saggy butt suits but this fits great. Can't wait to get in the water!

I love this suit! I've been looking for a sporty suit that has full coverage and stays in place, but is still stylish and attractive. This is it! Both sides of the reversible suit look great and the fit is perfect. I'm 5'4", 150, 34D and got the large. It's snug - as it's supposed to be - but a perfect fit. Can't wait to head to the beach!

I love this swimsuit. I wanted something that I could swim laps in, and then go hang out at the outdoor pool with the kids without feeling like I was in a granny one piece. This suit is fairly cute, and feels great while swimming laps, with no slipping at all during those flip turns. I'm 5'6", 120, 36B, size 4-6, wear a 34 in a Tyr one piece, and the medium fit me perfectly.

I really like this, but the fit really is very small.
I have a 38" hip / 35" chest and I got this in large. It fits but it is a bit tight around the hip, could probably even have gone up to XL for more comfort.

What other reviewers are saying is true, this product does run a little small. However, keep in mind that this is an athletic suit designed for competitive swimming or a triathlon and athletes typically are not large people. I am 5'10", 140 pounds, 32DD. The large was too small on the bust, the XL had the right amount of fabric, but I wish it were a little tighter on the top. The bottoms for both the large and XL fit me fine. I will use it for swimming laps, volley ball and playing with the kids in the pool and I am confident that it will stay on! However, it is not tight enough to sub as a compression sports bra, so I will not be doing triathlons in it. I loved the color and the options to make it reversible.

Great, solid suit. Top feels sturdy. Not quite as good as a sports bra, but next best. Bottoms are great too. They do catch some water in them when doing laps, but I haven't had an athletic 2-piece that did much better.
Like that it is reversible.

The top is extremely supportive, which I love! This suit does however run very small. I am 5' 8" 135 lbs and a 34 DD and I got the large. The bottoms are too tight so I just paired the top with plain black bottoms. I usually wear a M bottoms and wish I had the XL. Love the fit, but definitely runs small.

Nice and comfy but two things: (1) The size really runs small. I took two sizes larger than normal! Ugh! (2) The tag is ridiculously hard to remove. It's impossible to cut it all the way off without some of it still showing (I wouldn't normally mind but this is a reversible swimsuit). I accidentally cut some stitches off thinking it was attaching the label to the swimsuit (total bummer -- now I have to go pay a seamstress to fix it).

I love the sporty look of this suit. I got the black/light blue color which I think is very pretty. The suit is smaller than other suits. I got the XL and I am 34D, 5'2" and 130 lbs.

Like all the other reviews I wish we could order separate sizes for top and bottom. I am 5'6" tall, 119 lbs, 38 hips and about 38 bust. I usually wear smalls, but after reading the reviews that this runs small I ordered the Large and glad I did. The top fits ok (still fits tight but that is ok). The bottoms are definitely tight. I am keeping it because I need something for my TRI. But it definitely cuts into my cheeks somewhat. Glad its a race with only women! :) My advice is order WAY big on this.

This suit could almost be a five star suit all the way...if I could order the top and bottom in different sizes. Unfortunately, I had to return all three that I ordered. I tried the medium, large and extra large. The extra large bottom fit great. The large top fit great. But, that's not how this suit comes so back go all three. I probably could have gotten by with the large, but the bottoms were just a bit tighter than I would have been comfortable with in the long run. I am not super athletic so I didn't want a really tight suit. I just wanted something that would stay on when I'm chasing my toddler or swimming a few laps. For comparison, I am 5'4", approx. 117 lbs, 32B, 37" hips. According to the TYR size guide I should be in an extra small or small top and a medium bottom. This suit definitely runs small. I loved the fabric too. It felt really nice. Oh well.

This is a really beautiful 2-piece and I love especially the blue color. However, just like other reviews mentioned, the top runs really small. I usually wear S for bikini top, XS for bottom (Victoria Secrets' sizes). I ordered medium just to be safe. The bottom is a little loose on me (once i get into the water) and the top is very tight. For reference, I am petite (5'4, 99lb, usually wear 32C/34B). They should sell the top and bottom separately (I probably should wear L for top and S for bottom). Another thing is, like most competitor swimsuit, it's not lined so your nipples show through easily, especially when the color is blue. If I flip it over and wear black on the outside it's a little better. Wish they can make a lined version of this

I think this a really cute athletic bikini. Like other reviewers, I had trouble finding a fit, and even ordered an extra large (which I've never had to do). That didn't even fit! Nice little blow to the ego. I think the bikini may fall into the "racing bikini" category, and are meant to be a little tight. If you have a hardbody, this suit's for you. For a recreational swimmer in her 40s, not so good. I don't need anything to make my muffin top look like a popover! It went back to Zappos, sadly.

I originally ordered this in a small as I'm usually an xsmall or small in most clothes. I am 5'2", 115-120lbs, athletic type build, and 34B. I had to return the small because it was very tight. I realized afterwards that this is a competitive swimsuit and those are supposed to fit tighter than normal. I loved the style, but do not swim competitively and mainly just wanted a nice looking swimsuit. I returned the small for a medium and although it fit a bit better, was still not the fit I was hoping for. I could possibly exchange for a large, but after 2 strikes decided maybe this is not the swimsuit for me.

Unfortunately, I will need to be returning. I am 5'2", 115-120lbs, and 34B. I usually wear a small. I bought this is size small according to the size guide. It was extremely tight! However, I loved the style and coverage it provided. If I can get a size that fits, I think I would be happy with it. Maybe I'll have better luck ordering in a M.
