DOLFIN TEAM SOLID DBX BACK SUIT WOMEN'S COMPETITIVE SWIMSUIT - Perfect for Training, Racing & Professional Swimming Events

I fit a 36 in speedo and ended up buying a 38 and it fits great! I also bought the 40, 42, and 44 since the reviews made me think I would need to size way up.The larger sizes fit fine in the hips/butt but I didn't feel supported in the chest area. The 38 suit still fit well in the hips/bottom. I like the fulller coverage the bottom fit offers.My measurements are 39, 30, 42, 5ft8 and 150lbs. I prefer I tighter fit the suze 38 offered since my chest is on the larger side.Child wore it once for a swim meet and the fabric pilled on the chest when she pulled herself out the pool.I have so many cheap suits that they swim in and that never happens. This one was $45!!I lap swim an hour six days a week. I purchased size 40. I am a senior, 135 lbs - 5'1" with large bust, smaller hips, a little stocky. The body of the suit is short - but for me that is perfect. Because I am "fuller" I fill out the suit more sideways. The bottom fits great, snug. The top flattens but that is good for lap swimming. The design of straps is great - nothing rubs. It is a firm stretch. It is all lined. I ordered a second one today. It is great in chorine pool - doesn't fade or fall apart like some. I have used this brand before, similar suit.I bought this for my daughter who swims competitively. She LOVES it and has asked for more in other colors. It’s also very flattering for swimmers who aren’t rail thin, as the details are all focused around the neckline. This might sound funny but it’s a classy looking swimsuit.I have owned several of this suits. These guys pasts forever…… It does not wear out like other suits do…. Great value!The suit fits well and is perfect for swimming laps.I've never purchased a swim suit (bathing suits, yes) as an adult, so this is a new experience for me. I've been told these suits are supposed to be quite tight, so I don't think this runs smalls, but rather I'm adjusting to a 'non-fashion' suit. It does what it's supposed to do, it stays on, no readjusting, or slipping of straps. It's made of high-quality fabric, but it's not particularly stretchy, which is part of what I'm adjusting to as well. I'm used to bathing suits being much stretchier. This isn't one of the more popular swim suit brands a friend suggested, but I wanted this dark green because I'm a redhead and a bit vain, I guess--I wanted to look just a little bit cute. Overall, she's doin' what she should and I am love, love, LOVING swimming for exercise! I should have started sooner.I work out in my pool all summer and usually need to replace one or 2 swimsuits by the end of the season. Just received this new suit and it’s so cute, it actually looks like a fashionable one piece and not a typical lap swimsuit!Great fit. Very pleased with this purchase.
