Profile by Gottex Women's Center Gathering V-Neck Swimdress One Piece Swimsuit - Flattering Swimwear for Beach, Pool & Resort Vacations

I own another Profile bathing suit, which I love because the fit is superb! I am normally a size 12 in clothes, but always purchase my bathing suits in size 14. Profile swimsuits are known for keeping your tummy tight and in place. They’re thick in material and of excellent quality. The color I chose is beautiful and the fit was perfect! I was also lucky because I purchased for less than $30. After I received item, I decided to purchase another one and the price was $143 plus! Not sure how that happened or why even, but I’m happy with my purchase for sure!This is a cute suit and the orchid color is gorgeous. I bought a size up because the reviews said that it runs big, but I disagree - I am normally an 8 (in vanity sized brands like Banana Republic, not fancy designed brands) and the 10 was a little too large. It was long enough - I have a long torso. I'm not sure why the difference in experience. It is normal, US sizing. Beware, the Orchid and Poppy colors are reversed in the picture.I love this bathing suit. It was perfect for me as a new mom to be able to look flattering as I am still in the process of getting my prebaby body back (or close to it). It provided control and was secure enough in the ocean waves. It really gave me curves in all the right places while at the same time giving me a modest beach look and the mobility to keep up with my baby on the beach. Would definitely recommend and also want to add to size up if you are going to be using/washing this swimsuit often.This is a beautiful bathing suit and looked really great on, the only problem is it doesn't really accommodate larger breast. I am at tiny 5'5" and wear a size 4 in clothes and to get the bathing suit fit my the rest of my body, the top was too small.Beautiful color. High quality. Really nice, but accentuates the tummy area instead of camouflaging it the way most Profile by Gottex suits do. I have 4 similar suits from the same maker and this one isn't quite as flattering as the others.I'm 5'4" 130 lbs and bought a size 8. Could barely squeeze in...so yes...this runs very small! Very cute, though!High rating for suit, disregarding sizing.I love this suit. Modest yet classy and slimming. And it fits great. NOTE ABOUT SIZING: I am 5' 5" and 115 lbs. I am normally a dress size 2 or 4 but I ordered a size 8 because I have a long torso and one piece swimsuits are tricky. The size 8 fits me perfectly.Usually wear size 4, and size 6 was tight.. :( had to return
