disappointing fit...but a really cute suit

I had high hopes for this swim suit...but it just didn't fit, so I had to send it back. The back of the suit has a very low scoop and the straps don't criss-cross, so a secure fit in the shoulders is extremely important with this design. I'm fairly top heavy, but I found this suit was much too large in the chest and shoulders. I know I would have been constantly pulling up the shoulder straps...a wardrobe malfunction would have been inevitable. Most swim suit makers encourage you to order up one size, but I would have done well to order a size smaller than usual. I gave it three stars because it is a really cute suit. The daisies add the right amount of whimsy to make it fun, but the modest cut keeps it appropriate for those of us who don't feel inclined to show a lot of skin.
