true to size and flattering, but the one I got this year is a little troublesome on my deflated boobs...if they had any life of their own, it would be awesome, but I really have to watch bending over...
I like them. I particularly like that I can get a bottom that covers my entire ass. I found them to be true to size.
Really? This alone made the decision for me! My ass is shaped like an upside-down heart, and half of my cheeks hang out, no matter what suit I buy! Yay!

I can't help with adult sizing...for my girls, who wear Land's End suits a lot, I do have to go up a size. But I will say that the quality is really good. They hold up better than any other suits I've bought yet.
They are ridiculously tight. I like it once it is on but it is hell getting it on. While I could squeeze into my true size it was hideous to do so, going up a size made it bearable and kept it from pulling me in too much (and therefore kept my bum bulging from out at the edge).

That's a good description! For me I go up a size and have found they are more comfortable that way.

I love mine. I ordered a bunch last summer. Some fit true to size, and others I need to go up a size. Do you have a Sear's near you. Mine has a Land's End section (not sure if they all do...but I'm guessing so?). Maybe you could go there and try some on to get an idea of what size to get.

I love their tops but have a bit of trouble with the bottoms. I usually order a size larger and still have a bit of trouble with them. I don't have particulary chunky thighs or anything but the leg openings tend to a bit tight on me and make my fat bulge out on the outter parts of my thighs. I know it's not because they are to small either because they fit comfortably in the waist and butt. If I went up another size larger they would fall off of me. I usally prefer a higher cut (not the rise but where the leg opening hits on my hips) bottom because I have short legs, however I love the tops so much that I just deal with the bottoms. I really like the mini swim skirts and this solves my problem.
