I'm typically a size large in everything, so I ordered my normal size (large). The fit is so incredibly awful. The top portion fit normal (maybe even a little loose), but it doesn't fit my butt at ALL! Super tight on the lower half to the point where it cuts into my butt and makes it look smaller.. For reference, my waist is 31in and my hips are 40.5 in and i wear a 36DD. I'm so disappointed, because this was supposed to be for my Bachelorette party in Vegas. Now I have to find another swimsuit and I cannot return this one since it's a bathing suit. It's going to be thrown away. I have no use for it.
