I purchased this even though it was final sale, I did not like how short it was so I ordered the Allison bottom in the same size, large. The description on the Allison bottom made it sound longer, it is not AND an Allison large is only two-thirds the waist size as this style! How can two larges from the same company be so different!! Now they want me to pay to return the additional bottom! So I am out hundreds to have two bathing suit tops and no bottom!

I bought the swim skirt to match a bathing suit top that I had but never found bottoms that I liked. This was great in color, functionality and fit. I received high praise from my kids on the fit and look. Therefore, I wore it on our annual family float trip and was perfectly comfortable climbing in and out of the kayak. I bought the small and may have been able to use an extra small. The quality was good and is full coverage on the butt which is important to my 60+ year old sensibilities . I am 5'3", 140 pounds and an inverted triangle body shape, so small hips. I typically wear a size 6 pant. Hope this helps.
