This is a really pretty top that I bought for swimming with the matching high-waisted full brief bottoms. The bottoms were true to size (XL - 18-20), however, the top runs really small. I had to exchange my XL (18-20) and size up to XXL (22-26). The XXL is still tight on me. The crop top part of the top is very tight/compressed. I have broad shoulders and it's a little challenge to get the top on (even with the bigger size); I couldn't get the XL 18-20 over my shoulders at all. I did appreciate the free postage to return the original size back to Exoticathletica. The exchange process was really smooth and easy.
