Hi all - any advice about the fit around the legs? Does this dig in - I'm a little pear shaped and I find most swim suits dig in to my legs. Thanks!

I don't think mine digs into my legs and I am also slightly pear shaped. But we are all a bit different. I would suggest you purchasing it and then trying it on. Its a fabulous swimsuit. I don't regret my purchase.

I purchased this suit but I am more apple shaped, so to get a top that fits the bottom is ample for me- sorry can't help

Thanks everyone for all your input. I was about to purchase the BB but am now decided on the GWF. But does anyone know if this is waterproof and can be worn while swimming?

I'm going to try and answer your question as best I can... I purchased the XXXL, In the real world I wear a 18W in pant and a 20W, in tops. I considered to be very top heavy. It's a good bathing suit for swimming laps, so far so good. I do agree that there should be more specifics when comes to sizing.

You sort of need to account for both. If you buy it too short (going by her weight), it will pull in the inseam and be uncomfortable. If you buy it for her height, it will be loose in the arms and legs and take in water (called flushing) which defeats the purpose of a wetsuit. If possible, buy two and return the one that doesn't fit as well.

I like them to fit like a wetsuit which is pretty tight. You should have to "roll" it up off your back when you take it off. Sounds like you have the correct size.

I have movement room in mine and the elastic leg bottoms keep you from tripping on it. Hard to compare I'm 6' 4" 230 and the XL allows me to move freely. Hope that helps but this suit is awesome!

I usually wear a size 10 or so, and I got a Large wetsuit. It is hard to get on, harder to get off wet..I use it in a pool. Maybe it should fit tighter, but this is easier for me to get on and off (even with the zipper in front).

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

Hi Karen, I went to the store and bought the first pair. They measured my legs and gave me one of about 5 sizes that these come in. I then went to amazon and bought two pair at almost half the price that I paid at the store. I have found these stockings to be comfortable and have noted that they do not roll down or crease much if at all. I think if you follow the sizing chart correctly you should be happy with them. I cannot say that my calves are unduly large, but I started wearing these after vericose vein surgery last year, I am still wearing them. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any other help.

This suit will definitely help you out as long as you use it every other day or so. I'm 6'0 /255 lbs with a 44 inch waist and wear an XXL so I believe an XL should be the ticket for you. Keep in mind they're alittle long in the leg but it not that big of a deal.

I have what one might consider slim legs. I too did not know what size to order. I purchased medium and they are snug but not to the point whereas they dig into you leg.

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

Try the adult short leg version. . The one I had only fit to above the ankle. It might be too long but you can always push it down. It works gret. Get well soon.

Ok just speaking for myself and my experience. I am NOWHERE near your bra size. I am teeny, always have been since ballet when I was young. I am 5' 4" and around 128-130. Frighteningly for me I had to go with a Large in this suit. It fits comfortably but not very loose so is secure for swimming laps. All I can say is if I had a hard time getting into a large I really can't imagine you fitting into. Large. But you can always order and try and return in case I am wrong. Not sure if this helps but hope so. I think you would have better luck with anXL or more in the Sporti brand unitard. Good luck! Ok just speaking for myself and my experience.

Have same problem. This swimsuit works for me. Buy a little larger than your size, however, because this item runs small.

It appears Amazon is out of the Large. How about the Large Short (size LS)? It states it is the same chest and waist size but probably a shorter torso as it is listed for someone 5'7" to 5'9". Also I'm 6'0", 178lbs with a 42" chest and 34" waist. I ordered a Large and found it tight in the chest and especially around my neck. I workout but am not "thick". I had to get an XL and it fits pretty good. I guess I'm trying to say that they run a little small. Love the wetsuit by the way!

I am a woman and it was fine. (36C fit fine) I am broad in the shoulders also. Hope that helps. Nice suit.
