I read every single review on this bathing suit before purchasing it -which is what convinced me to purchase it for a trip to Mexico coming up. I am 55 and a size 12 with a 36B bust, very thick waist, and thin thighs. I bought both medium and large and really could go either way. The medium is tighter at the bottom and obviously slimmer through the blouse. But it still works. The bottom is slightly high waisted. I love the fact that I can wear the top with a pair of shorts or a wraparound skirt and go places in town in Mexico as it’s not very revealing.I like it enough I recommended it to my sister with the same body type.
