Walmart Swimsuit

[Charlie]

I have read a few threads recommending this suit:

Can anyone who has it chime in about sizing? I know alot of the reviews say to size up, but some say not to. According to the size chart, I would be a small (normally a size 6) and I feel like swimsuits generally run small and would order a medium but they are sold out! Could I get away with a small? Ugh, some of the other styles in this brand are cute but I think the prints might be too matronly. Boo.

Also, I am looking at a tankini top with built in bra but they are out of my size. If I am normally a 36B, could I get away with a 34 C?

You might want to check in store, b/c I just saw it there the other day. I wear a 6 in clothing and buy a 10 in swimsuits

I have this swimsuit! I am a size 8, and bought the large. But I tend to size up in swimsuits anyway. I think I could have gotten away with my usual size - in fact, it may have been better at holding me in! For the price, I would order it...

Hmmm...I wonder if I should go for the large but I think the bust might be too large then. I'm nowhere near a Walmart right now so in-store isn't an option. Although I will be near one in the next few weeks in case I need to return something but I will need the suit before then. Ugh I hate swimsuit shopping

I am usually a size 6 too and I bought the small. It went back, ASAP. I looked terrible in it. The backside coverage was weird on me and my lumps were smoothed out, but you could certainly see every one!

I sized down because that's all my store had. I LOVE this swimsuit. Holds everything in and is flattering. The smaller size works for me.

My postpartum body is somewhere around an 8/10 right now, but I have a long torso, so I bought a medium and a large, expecting to return the medium. The large was a little big in the bust for me, which I know would be worse next summer when DD2 isn't nursing as much, and I liked the fit of the medium better. I'd look in store - my store had tons of them in more colors and prints than online, even though the online store checker said they were sold out in the sizes I wanted.

ETA: Just saw you aren't near a store. I'd order a small online. You can always return instore in a few weeks if you need to!

Just an update:

Bought the small and after I ordered it, the medium came back into stock. So, I ordered a medium too. The medium looks terrible (no support, baggy and not flattering for my small bust) but the small is a near perfect suit. I love the front but the back is just ok. I think I'm going to keep the small but the medium is for sure going back!

I also ordered these swim shorts:

They are shorter than the picture implies (which is fine with me) and will be great with a tankini top for when I want extra coverage, and will be doing more playing than swimming.

Glad it's working for people! I don't have it, but love a flattering, low priced swimsuit!

looked horrid on me, and I was shocked that they stapled the suit and "damaged" it after I returned it.

A few days ago, on the way to the pool, I realized my suit was missing, so DD and I ran into Target and came out with a Spanx suit that she said was gorgeous. It was $45, so not crazy compared to the walmart suit.
