I normally wear a size 14 bathing suit due to my bust and stomach. I was REALLY surprised when I had to return the size 12 for a 10. It fits fine in the bust which is one of my problem areas. I was originally looking for a suit with under wire, but when I did laps in the pool everything stayed secure. The butt area is still a bit large (normally not a problem for me), so I will need to put a couple of stitches in the suit to make it more secure.

As a new mom, I'm looking for a comfortable suit to swim with baby in the pool this summer. I was really hoping this Boden suit would fit the bill. I love the print. The fabric is high-quality and would surely last for many swim sessions. But the suit has a funny fit. The top half fit me like a glove. The torso length was great, but there was extra fabric in the rear. I felt like I needed a little more on my backside to fill out the seat. So close to perfect...but I returned due to the funny fit.

Great balance of style and coverage

The fit on this suit just seemed to be off. I think it would only work well for women whose chest is smaller and closer together. I was spilling out the sides of this suit in a Size 6 (I'm 5'4'', 125 pounds, and a 34C or 34D), but it fit fine everywhere else so a size 8 would've been too large. It was also just kind of boring.

This bathing suit fits great and looks great from the front. However, the back is a disaster...NO ELASTIC in the back leg/butt area. Hangs like a wet diaper. Who designed the back of this suit???? Major flaw.
So sad and sorry to return it.

This is such a cute suit, I really wanted to love it... but, there's a seam running right up the middle of the bottom, so it pulls up between the cheeks, giving you weggie! Unfortunately, this had to go back.

I am a petite woman (dress and pant size 0) who has always had difficulty finding a bathing suit that fits properly and is "age appropriate"--horrors! This bathing suit fits perfectly and is very attractive.

After reading positive reviews about this bathing suit, I decided to take a chance and order. I was very pleased with the fit, style and price! I am 5'6" and 135 lbs and order the size 6. Thinking about order another one!

I was a little bit hesitant about purchasing a one piece given that I am extremely well-endowed after having a baby but have a rather small bottom. However this suit fits great! I agree with previous reviews that the elastic around the bum is not very tight. That said, I will definitely enjoy using it on the beach this summer and am impressed by the reinforcement in the bust. It is classic and well-made (as most Boden items are!).

I am 5'4", 150 lbs and 36DDD.

Great looking suit, but it gave me a wedgie when I walked! I am so bummed because it looks so good on, but with 2 children don't think I will be standing still anytime soon. I am going to return it and try the tankini.
