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.


Very cute! Still live my Costco swim dress and I usually swim in shorts

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 thought she had a major leg surgery but all she needs to do is clean her mirror

The cut is cute but all that extra fabric in the midsection would drive me crazy. It would drape and lay so heavy and bulky.

Oh I like that! How push up is the push up? I am really small up top so a little extra help would not be a bad thing!

This sounds more like it. I am a 34DDD and 5'7" 135 and I couldn't even fit one boob into a 4. I usually have to get XL in swim tops.


I think OP has an extremely short torso and most of her weight is in her thighs and arms, so she wears a smaller suit than you would think.


Op here. Confirming that in fact I do have a very short torso and high waist. Also teardrop breasts which are according to the woman at my most recent mammogram - are also oddly shaped with where my volume is.

I mean if OP says that she’s comfortable in a size 4 and she clearly carries her weight in her thighs / arms (based on photo), maybe we can move on from the sizing issue.
I know ruching reads maternity but that’s where my not toned tummy is in life so I might try this for lap swimming. Thanks op!

It's pretty!

I feel like I always have to try swimsuits on, though ...

Jumped around after a scoop and swoop and my bust stayed contained. I am a busty, small abdomen, weight inside my thighs shape at 5’3, 145-148 and fit their 4. 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.


I also am a little perplexed by the OP sizing. I’m 5’4 125 and have to wear a six or eight in this brand. I am bottom heavy and a C cup but bathing suits are the wrong place for vanity sizing! We should feel comfortable AND look good.
