Hello! I’m a 36H bra size and 5’5” @148 lbs and LOVE this tankini suit!!! Tops have always been a challenge. I ordered a L and this swimsuit top is beautiful! I was afraid of ordering an XL as I thought the waist area would be too loose. It’s not. Sexy, very pretty/classy. If you are larger on top, do not size down. When ordering a size (as both pieces are the same size when ordering this 2-piece) I’d say the bottom section is true to size. Also, there isn’t any gap between the top meeting the bottom of the suit and top does not ‘roll up.’ - no midriff peeking out! Fabric and lining are very good quality. The swim tankini top is slimming - ‘holds’ - but is non-binding and is very comfortable. I’m ‘widespread’ on top and if you have a larger ‘top section’, this will look and look and feel great! Ordering another color as I can wear the top with regular shorts. Appropriate for 20’s year-olds & plus --- if you can pull it off!
