what is back like, and what is the rise on the leg?

sheri r on May 18, 2015

BEST ANSWER: the back rises about mid to low back"There is no rise on the leg, it is pretty straight across. These suits last almost forever. The only part that wears is the lining. I go to water exercise 3x a week in an indoor public pool and the ?uit I'm wearing now is in it's second year and in perfect condition. It is the suit of choice for our class. I hope this helps.

For this the back straps are easy to put on, it is not cris-cross. The leg as shown in the picture is covers the bottom.

I like the sheath front panel which avoids the high rise on the leg. The back is mid level on me.

No, I don't order one size up. If I was taller, I might. It feels a bit 'snug' the first couple of times I wore it in the pool, but loosened up a bit in just a couple of wearings. If someone is quite tall (or short) it might be a good idea to get the 2 - piece style. Great suit! (Just wish they would use the same 'lining' in the front as in the back. - Of course, then I wouldn't have to buy a new one as soon!) I'm in Hydro Fitness classes 3 times a week. The suit lasts a couple of years - as compared to the other chlorine-resistant suits that don't even make it through one year.

I don't order one size up. BUT, I do have one major complaint (which I have written to you about previously) and that is the lining fabric is of inferior quality. I have had 4 of these bathing suits and in each and every case, the lining fabric rips away from the outer fabric. I suppose I should stop buying this product but I do like the appearance, the chlorine proof color and the comfort and I do manage to sew the part of the suit that is attached only to the lining to the main body, thereby extending the life of this garment.

wondering about how to go about the sizing? I have a much larger bust and narrow hips and I am not sure how to choose my size

jacky m on Aug 16, 2017

BEST ANSWER: The suit runs fairly true to size. However, if you have a larger bust, the "D" cup might be a bit small. I'm a C-D cup and it fits me perfectly. The suit is fantastic and lasts at least one season with 3 to 5 days a week doing swimming/hydro-Fitness classes. I rinse it after each use in cool water, wash once a week and line dry after each use.

I would buy a size that accommodates your bust and consider having the hip area tailored to fit better. the suits are stretchy, so it might not need much adjustment.

?Any size 14??

A shopper on Dec 11, 2016

BEST ANSWER: They surely must have a size 14. I always get a 12 and it fits perfectly. It's the only suit I'll ever get because being in our aerobic swimming class at the YMCA ruins most bathing suits in only a few weeks if you're in the water everyday. I got tired of bathing suit shopping so often.
I don't go every day, and my suit lasts several years. However there is latex in the lining and that wears out. Latex is rubber and pool water destroys rubber threads. I replaced the latex with stretchy material with no latex and I have a brand new suit. I just cut a pattern from the old lining and sewed it in.
