Sienna Swim Dress

These suits are beautiful, however, I did need to size up considerably from the size chart. I am typically a size 12 to 14 in regular clothing, and I needed a size 16 in this suit. The chart says I should order a 12 which I did and I looked like a stuffed sausage, then I tried 14, still too tight and unflattering, so my advice is to take your normal clothing size and go one size up. I am 5'5" and 175 and have size 16 in this suit. I have it in blue and red, and they are beautiful and very figure-flattering once you get the right fit. I bought them for a cruise to Greece in October and can't wait to wear them. I have also purchased several swim tops from this seller, I love the colors and patterns they have available, which can be paired with multiple colors of swim shorts.

I tried this suit in my reg size 12 and size 14. The size 12 felt more supportive, but I didn't like that I could see my belly button outline in it. The rouching is not adequate to really cover anything and the suit is not compressive at all. The size 14 felt a little loose on the top, but was more flattering in the tummy. Ultimately I returned both because the skirt does not attach in a flattering place (low on the hips) and the seam was awkward. In the prints it was harder to see, but in a brighter solid it was very obvious.
