First, let me just say this is the BEST swimsuit I have ever owned. I bought it in the 2XL, and it fit perfectly. Honestly, I want to buy so many more just because the first one was so great. The top fits great and is super comfortable and (much to my delight) has underwire. Also, the strap doesn't dig into my neck which is a huge deal since every swim top I have ever owned has, which makes the whole experience generally uncomfortable. The bottoms are super comfy too. Honestly, I really wasn't expecting much from this suit. I bought it because I needed one for an upcoming trip to Mexico. I was figuring that I would get this swimsuit, use it on the one trip and then have to get rid of it, but the quality was so much better than what I had expected.A quick couple of things that aren't covered in the picture that aren't an issue for me at least, but would be helpful for anybody looking to purchase this particular suit.1. The back is one continuous piece. It only ties around the back of your neck.2. The fringe does not come down quite as far as it does on the model, but I suppose that probably all has to do with how long your torso is.3. There is slightly less fringe than shown in the product picture, but it still covers well and looks really nice.Overall, I would most definitely buy this suit again, and probably will very soon, to be honest. Also, it shipped really fast. When I ordered it 12/31/15, the shipping confirmation said the estimated arrival date would be between January 7th and 12th. It got here today, January 2nd. So, that's also a huge bonus.
