Rio High-Waisted Bottoms

Like I said in the review for the matching top, I fell in love with this swimsuit as soon as I saw it on their website. Took me about a year but I finally ordered it. I have a petite frame, small busted and curvy pear shaped, so it's hard to find swimsuits that fit. I love that with this company you can order your swimsuit pieces in separate sizes. Not all websites do this. After reading reviews and looking at the model and size chart, I went with a Small in the bottoms. I am 5'3" and 115lbs. Normally I wear a size small, or a 2-4 in bottoms. I have thicker thighs and very curvy hips, but a small waist and usually I have an issue with high waisted suits gapping in the waist and tight on the booty. The small did fit, but it felt a little tight around the waist and the booty. So I'd say for me, the bottoms ran small because of my frame. I decided to exchange them for a medium. The process was very simple and I received the new size pretty quickly. The medium fit much better, giving me a little more room and making them more comfortable to move around in. I don't like the way I look in high waisted suits but I wanted something more conservative without a one piece. This hit the mark. Because I have a short torso, a lot of times high waisted suits with bands at the top make me look like I have a tummy pooch. This has some ruching instead of a band so it helps slim the tummy area a little more.
The quality was great (although I haven't worn it enough times to know long term yet). I did wash it by hand and let it air dry per the instructions. I know a lot of people were saying the color isn't as pictured. I will say that it looks a tad more gold in the photos online. But some people were saying it looks green in person. I think this is one of those things we're it depends on how the person perceives color. I could see a slight green undertone possibly. But overall the color of the print looks more tan/gold to me in person. The white is a true white as well. Overall I'm happy with the swimsuit so far.

The swim suits were beautiful, but not a good fit for me 😏

Super cute swim outfit for vaykayyy.

Very good quality and looks great

So nice, comfortable, and easy sizing! The fabric is just as beautiful IRL. As soon as I saw these and put them on, I knew they'd fit great. I ordered a L. For reference, I'm 5'9, 160 lbs with a curvy/muscular build and a little bit of a belly. If you're worried like me about it concealing your muffin top (if you have one) yes, it will minimize the appearance of belly fat. Slightly cheeky, but covers enough to still wear with the fam. Just trying to figure out the sizing on the Rio top now, if M or L fits me best, we shall see. I'll leave my review on the top once I can try both sizes.
