For those who are interested, as promised, here is a report on the Amazon swimsuit I ordered two days ago.  I am being brave and posting photos!  

I am surprised at how good the quality is! The colors are vibrant, and it appears to be made well.  I like it!  Unfortunately, the large is just too big in the top.  The bottoms fit pretty well, but I am going to return it and take a chance on the medium when it goes on sale again.  The skirt is wrinkled, as I just took it out of the package and tried it on, so ignore that.

For reference, I am usually a small or medium (usually a size 6) on top and am a medium or large on the bottom (usually size 8).  My measurements are 36-30-40.  I'm a true pear-shape.

Very pretty suit.  You might be better off to have the suit altered.

@ECBG ordering two suits to get my two sizes might be cheaper than an alteration.  lol  Who knows?  I just checked, and the suit was on a lightning deal for only $2 more than what I originally paid, and so I ordered a medium.  

As an aside, what everyone reported is true.  When I went to fill out the form for the return, since the UPS store is farther from me than Kohl's, it will cost $1 to return it to the UPS store.  UPS is park at the door and almost never any waiting, but I thought I would go ahead and try Kohl's returns, since it is free.  The parking isn't convenient, and I will have to walk to the back of the store.  If there is a line, I will be regretting my decision big time, but at least I will know which selection to make for the next return.  I plan on getting there right at 9 on Friday when Kohl's opens to hopefully avoid much of a line.

@Ainhisg   If you have access to a Whole Foods store they also take Amazon returns which is really easy/convenient.

@colleena I wish I did.  We don't have those in SW Missouri.

@Ainhisg It looks very nice on you.  I love that style swimsuit and it's what I normally wear.  You will most likely be fine in a M.  Good luck and enjoy your new purchase.

Thanks for posting.

OP you have an amazing figure! JMO But perhaps finding a more figure-flattering suit may be a better choice.

@Ainhisg  I use Kohls as an option for returns at Amazon.If there is a line,it moves fast.At my stores,they give you a $5 Kohls voucher as well. It's my excuse to browse around the store.

 

BTW,you look lovely in your suit!
