I'm a 42 and I think I got an xtra large and it fits great. It stretches a lot.

I'm a 38 B and I wear a large Aqua Designs over a jog bra when swimming (I'm 5'8" and a fit 155lbs). I feel the large is perfect for me, not at all tight, and not near floppy-loose. If you have a much larger cup size or are much larger than me overall, then the xl might be the right fit. I have normal to narrow hips, if you have hips, you'd want an xl.

I'd agree on ordering a size up, if you happen to have wide hips and don't like things too fitted ... but be careful. I found the material doesn't breathe, and if you've got the extra layer of bathing suit underneath it might get really claustrophobic. ... I've been much happier with Coolibar rash guards, which fit my broad back and wide hips, as well as being sun protective and lightweight at the same time, keeping you warm when needed and cool when you're wet and it's hot out there.

It was quite roomy but to put over a bathing suit I guess you would be better off with XXL.

XL would probably be roomy enough. I wear my swim shirt over a bikini top, too.

I am a 38-40 and went with the XXL...don't be surprised if it come to you showing XL but tagged XXL, it still fits.

I wear a size 12 and the XL size barely fits. I would go with an XL. If you get the large, it MAY stretch enough to fit.

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.

I wear a ladies 10 and got large which just fit. You might try a large, but judging by my experience, large might be too small.

I ordered these in an XL and I wear a size 50 sport coat. The XL fit me fine. If you wear a 40 I would suggest a Medium unless you want it to be loose fitting.

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

I wear 36 D bra,,,, a 36 was perfect. My friend wears a 34C and yet the 36 was too small across the back for her....she says she always has trouble because her back if wide.....not much help, hm sorry ...but it is always easy to send back..I really like TYR stuff...so much.

I am 42" chest, and have a large. That works great over 2-3 layers. If you need to wear it in real cold weather, over thick layers, you might want to go up to XL

I suggest you order a large because of your cup size. It may take you a day or two to adjust to the fit but they are great support bras! Laurie

Well I am a size 9 1/2 in women & I ordered the XL and it fit me just slightly big. So I would go a size bigger than your own!

depending what bra size you are if your 36 dd or bigger i would go for a large/x-large... very snug.. I'm 5 ft 1 1/2 but i am 36 dd and i can't put my suit in the dryer cause it's snug just enough... Hope it helps...enjoy they are very good everything stays in place...

I am 5'8'' and 168lbs, (female) I had ordered an L, but can't breathe in it. Way too tight. I am a windsurfer and accustomed to wetsuits, etc, but unless you have not an ounce of fat on you, order a size larger. I will exchange it to a XL. The shirt is very nicely made.

Well, I'd say look at this chart from Stearns...i'm better on helping other busty women like me with this question, but it seems you'd either be a L or XL. My hubby likes his for kayaking, since its back is high enough not to interfere with the seat. Good luck! http://www.stearnsflotation.com/sizingcharts.aspx

If you are more than 38 inches around just under the breast, a large will be too small. This particular brand only offered Large and Medium. Hope this helps.

I'm a 36B and got the small/medium but it gets tight sometimes, I would agree with the large/xl. All the straps are adjustable so you should be able to synch it down to fit perfectly even if it starts a little large.

If you are 36d or smaller, the large might for you. If you are 38d or bigger, I would try the XL

Not sure it would work right, i am an XL also and I tried it on just for the feel, also to be able to respond to questions just like this one. I found the straps rubbed against my underarm area weird, and it felt weird with my bra on also(but a man would not have this issue). If it was the bigger size one obviously it probably would have fit and felt a lot better, but it was purchased for my mom who is a size petite small and she loves it. Just an fyi the straps are adjustable, you just can't see that by picture very well. hope it helps happy brace shopping.
