“I ordered based on the size chart but this swim skirt seems to run a bit loose at the waist and rides lower than I would have liked. It looks ok and seems to stay on in the water (which I was a bit worried about) and I'm grateful for that since I got it on sale and couldn't return/exchange. I wish it had a bit more length, but even when the ties were fully extended it still seemed pretty gathered. On the whole, it's ok but not great and I'm glad I didn't pay full price.”
