I am 5"4", 122#, B/C cup. I find that lycra swim suits are best if I size up, so I ordered an 8 instead of 6, a good decision.
I wanted a swim skirt because honestly, we aren't getting any younger, are we, but if I dress thoughtfully I look pretty darned good! No one over the age of about 18 looks wonderful in those high cut sides, though they are passable for another 10-15 years in the best looking of us... just my opinion, and self-honesty.
This suit is a bit low cut in the front for my preference, but easy to put in a couple of stitches to move that up about 1.5 inches. That is a personal preference, so that I look appropriate when I lean forward, because it actually looks good just as it is.
The skirt flares nicely, as in the photo, and the top is very becoming, as in the photo - it does not cut into my back at all, and the deep V is attractive. I think the photo is pretty accurate, nevermind the model is a model... Also, the shoulders are comfortable and stay in place well.
I could imagine buying this in another color - perhaps a solid, and it would also look great.
