When I can I buy a 28GG unfortunately this swimsuit starts from a size 30 so I purchased a 30G. It's a near perfect fit and I just don't feel quite as securely held in place in this band as I would in a 28.

Otherwise this runs true to size and just because I feel a little insecure doesn't mean that the swimsuit looks too small on me - I think it looks like an excellent fit.

The body of the suit isn't as clingy as I'd like it to be through the waist. I believe here I would have done better with a 28, that said, perhaps the suit never stretches tight to the skin at the waist due to the cutout at the back waist (thus, there's no pull across the belly from the sides).

The body of the suit runs medium to long which means that it should look amazing on women of normal height following the natural crease of the leg as it meets the hip. The bottom coverage is excellent and there's no discomfort there.

Unfortunately I find the crotch length is still a bit long for me (symptoms: sits too high on the side leg, shows too much bikini hair and rides above the natural crease where my leg meets hip), but I suffer from this in nearly all my lingerie and swimsuit buying adventures so don't let it put you off! The suit may be a little long on women of petite height 5' 4" and under - like me.

Did I mention the colour is beautiful and the style is very sophisticated? The princess seam vertical lines are very sliming and I think the suit makes it looks like my bust is a bit smaller because it smooths right over the underwires towards the belly.

Great for the pool, but I'll stick to my other bikinis for the beach!

If I hadn't gotten this on sale I probably would return it to Figleaves, but the cost of shipping makes this just-a-bit-off fit worth keeping. There will be some occasion I will wear this I'm sure...
