Zebra print, size 12. Just received this tankini set and tried it on. Tried all the adjustment options - can pull the tie in front to ruche between the cups and create a different look...the sides at the bottom have ties to ruche about 3-4 inches and I like both looks. THE TOP: Note for LARGE BREAST women. Fits pretty good considering I always have to accommodate my large cup size vs smaller band size. Ideally, I would order the more expensive suits by bra size because that's the only way to fit perfectly and they are wonderful but I needed something quickly and didn't want to spend over $100 right now. (I wear 32/G in UK size "Fantasie molded T-shirt bra" I've worn for years - or 32/I in US size) For this tankini I ordered Size 12. If I pull the bottom band underneath the cups where it should be and the cups still fit pretty good, although it could be a bit more snug in the band size, that's just not possible if you want the cups to fit. My complete measurements are 40-34-42, (32" band size) hourglass figure. 5' 6" , 157 lbs. In back, there is a top tie I tightened so that keeps it more snug. I may take up the band a little with needle/thread but it's not necessary. THE SHORTS: they are short, booty like shorts, the legs do not stay down, so-to-speak so don't expect "shorts", the top waist band it good and does not slide below my poochie belly, it does stay around my natural waist which is good - so I will wear them as booty shorts/vintage looking bottoms and happy that the waist band keeps them up. Overall, very happy with the size I chose. When I get a chance, will take some photos. I'm always thankful when people list the exact measurements, weight and specific body accommodations so I hope this helps.I am 4'11, 120 pounds, 33-26-35, and amazon recommended that I buy a size 12 which I did. The size 12 was too baggy in the hips and the bra cup was just too big for me. I am about a 32A cup and the cup in the size 12 had a couple of extra inches unfilled. I love to wear cute tankinis with boyshorts underneath my wetsuit scuba diving. I like to wear tankinis with boyshorts for modesty and ease of going to the bathroom while trying to peel off a wetsuit instead of wearing a 1 piece. The size 12 was too large for me and got bunched underneath my wetsuit.I sized down and bought a size 8 which is much more form-fitting and fits me perfectly. The bra cups in the size 8 fit my 32A boobies perfectly. I would read the size chart before buying this item instead of going by what amazon recommends even though amazon is often 90% correct in predicting my size. The blue rose print with the navy shorts was just too cute to pass up on. I like to match my tankinis to my wetsuits.Am I wearing the bottoms backwards?? The tag is in the back, right? I mean, my backside isn't small, by any means, but good grief these ride up and touch my tonsils. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts are really long and saggy. It really is like I'm wearing them backwards. I'll be buying some new bottoms separately because the top is cute. I like it, the color is nice, it holds everything where it needs to be held... Nothing wrong with the top. I havent had to floss since I tried on the bottoms.I sized up ( but I always do in a swimsuit) the fit is perfect and the style is very flattering. I di t usually wear a boy short but I feel comfortable in it and my husband says it looks great! I ordered another one in a different patternLoved the material and pleasantly surprised how well made and lined in the bust this suit was. Just because you’re pleasantly plump doesn’t mean you have to wear a sack or tent. The fit was super large. I followed the chart and it’s suggestions, but I ordered a 24 and literally was swimming in it. So, I reordered a 20 and it fit perfectly. Been losing a lot weight and swimwear fits differently, but this brand is well made for the price and flattering in all the right places. Just order down a size or two.It's a very well-made swimsuit set. The shorts are a bit loose on me, and the top is a bit tight - BUT, I don't fault the retailer. I have an extreme "apple" profile so it's pretty impossible to find any womens' clothing to fit me. Hubby said "it looks good" - that's the major review, so I'll go with it!The bottom of the bra part seems stretched out a bit! My other Septangle suit does not feel the same way! I may return it! I love it though! I really don’t want to! But I don’t want my breasts to slip out!I dislike being in wet bathing suits outside of the water, especially when I have to use the restroom, so I usually try to wear a two piece suit because it is easier to pull the essential part on and off for restroom breaks, there is less wet fabric touching my body, and typically the tops of bikinis are more supportive than 1-piece suits. Well, after birthing a couple of kids, I no longer feel like showing off my tummy. This suit is great because it is supportive on the top, flowy in the middle so it doesn’t bother me by clinging to my tummy when it is wet, and the bottoms come on/off easily and the little extra length helped my thighs not rub raw walking in the suit all day at a water resort. My only complaint is the middle seam on the shorts got a little uncomfortable after about 4 hours of wear, but I think if I wore it more often my body would get used to it.I have been looking for ages for a tankini thats long enough and flattering on my large stomach and this is perfect. Good material, washes well, long enough top and the bottoms fit great too.Fit as expected and glides nicely over a tum. Slightly more boobage on show than I wanted but overall very happy and sits nicely over my swim leggings.Fits great, super comfortableComfortable looks good onFab item true to size fast delivery
