Without actual measurements provided, I was having a hard time determining sizes. I emailed asking about comparable brand sizes (being from the US, knowing I couldn’t return items affordably), but none could be provided. I provided my sizes, and some guesses were provided by staff, but they contrasted dramatically from some of the examples provided on their site. I took the risk anyway (erring on the side of too big, which could at least be tailored if needed).
For all other US clients…I am usually a XL or L bottom, depending on how cheeky they are (go to brands are body glove, pakaloha, target), and I ordered a 14. (I am a US 6 or 8 in most pants and. M in most leggings, including Waterlust). These bottoms pretty much fit perfectly, though I haven’t worn them in the water yet. I hope this helps someone who was looking for comparable sizing like I was!
I love the pattern! Keep in mind, they are fully reversible (flip side is a nice maroon color), so you end up with two suits in one.
