Op here. Not a 14 (I was once a 14/16 when I weighed 263lbs a few years ago )

I’m similar in shape to these ladies. Typically I am a 4-6. Size 26 in jeans.

I’m the PP who posted about wearing the suit in size 10. I want to clarify that I wasn’t challenging your size, I was showing that the suit likely fits differently on different body types. Which is another reason it’s a good swimsuit, it works for many of us!

In other cheap swimsuit news, I bought this random one off Amazon and am quite pleased with it: https://www.amazon.com/Holipick-Tropical-Floral-Control-Swimsuit/dp/B0F3XH5MSK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=189446123474&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8drwUd1VkL85qTN9n3keoP5TcKrUAVspFLsfvGSE-c09IFVdxIn7jyy4xAAvEyF1hp-sAYu1QaY6vqQZdGqcDRD6KkyucYZpiXqCOMM5rx6Xz8vmuoW5UJFG9PTZPFxeQijEChtyTgItCkl8oxxNKBFcaBX0yTn4HhL1X12_eQAfElIlM1ohjPwV9rJ2ec6xW6vwwXPPDUxCdzkRGJKe6emu25XTVUWrkNGNK_1LP2plPFRKNDyu70ir3Gixipk7dBGVFe1YoFSRJznrs0CtFQXIbNDTRtcGsgvikKoxGdY.MYPbt-RN42DuLQPBE-6HNL8ItJP8oIANP-gxGfmT2Bo&dib_tag=se&hvadid=779719465103&hvdev=m&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9007526&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=6907259299141488838--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6907259299141488838&hvtargid=kwd-410400387534&hydadcr=1312_13792232_2083317&keywords=holipick+swimsuit&mcid=e4da31eafc7f3a5cb54ce09f7915f0bd&qid=1773194452&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

After a few years of trying various “mom suit” solutions (skirt, shorts, very modest low leg, etc) I decided that most women just look better in a normal swimsuit that is comfortable and cute instead of trying to hide. It also helps that I got into lap swimming and am much more confident walking around in public in a swim suit.

I think swimsuit sizing never went to vanity sizes!

PP here who owns it and my suit is black and no color running issues.

Swimsuit sizing has always been weird.

There’s ruching and a very stretchy middle on this suit.

I also own and like this suit - it’s simple, has clean lines and I can swim and play on the beach in it. But re: sizing, I’m 5’4” and 130 lbs and wear an 8 in it. I’m average build in every way- bust, rear, etc. I carry my extra weight in my middle.

Yeah, I was confused about sizing here. I'm 5'7" and 155 lbs and am considering this suit, and would order a 10 at the smallest ...

PP here who is 5’4” and 130 lbs - I just checked and I actually own the suit in a 10 and it fits fine, I definitely could not go down more than one size.

This is my "mom suit" meaning the suit I wear to the pool and on family vacations. I'm pear shaped and it is flattering and stays in place.

Ruching is great if you have a giant horizontal scar below your belly button.

Ruching is a pet peeve on clothing. It always reads maternity.
