This set runs large in terms of the pants. There is a lot of stretch in the waist band. I could have sized down one maybe even 2 but I had to order my usual size for the top. The fabric is soft, mesh and it is see through so be sure to have cute undies /swimwear underneath but the color is fantastic. I am tall with a long torso and I have a lot of skin showing between the top and the bottoms. The length of the pants is great, they sit at my ankles as pictured. (I am 5'10) I gave it three stars because it is a lot more sheer than expected and because the top came damaged (nonreturnable) and I will have to fix it myself.
