VS Swimsuit Sizes

Has anyone ordered a swimsuit from VS online? I need a tankini for more "modest" swimsuit occasions and had my eye on this in coral medallion but with regular scoop bottoms in plain coral (not the huge ones in the picture...I don't need to be that modest).They are out of S tops but according to the VS size chart I'd wear an XS top and a S bottom. I'm worried because I have never worn a small bottom in anything in my life - I gots a big 'ol bootay. Do bottoms form VS run big? Or pretty true-to-size? I'm less worried about my itty bitties fitting in an XS top but I do not want to spend $7 having everything shipped to me just to turn around and ship it back. Help a sista' out!

Re: VS Swimsuit Sizes

  • I get a small in both top and bottom and have plenty of room. What size pants do you wear?
  • I've always ordered the size they recommended in swim suits and have been happy. Last summer I was scared my butt would be two big and ordered the next larger size. It came in and was way to big. My DH was like you are wearing that !?! So I sent it back. So in the end I think they run pretty true to size.
  • Fixed the link, although I don't really care if it looks like poo. I am more worried about my azzzzz cheeks hangin' out.

    Amy, it depends on the brand but typically a 4ish. Sometimes 2, sometimes 6. I have a pretty small waist but stuff tends up ride up my disproportionally large butt.

    Even with shipping, it'd all be under $40,which is pretty good for a swimsuit, right? 

  • I haven't had luck with VS swimsuits fit-wise. I usually go through two rounds of returns before I find the right size b/c not all styles fit the same way. I'm about the same size as you but curvy and the last one that I ordered I need a small bottom and medium top ( I think). The XS didn't cover my as* cheeks at all. I ended up with a S top but I find that it doesn't cover the girls well enough so I can't really wear it. Huh?

    I wear a small shirt (32B boobies) and size 4 or 2 pants too. Like I said, I'm a small and a small. You should be fine. I do have a Ralph Lauren XS bathing suit and it's OK but it's not an adjustable top so if I gain any weight, it won't fit anymore.

  • Hey! I just ordered that same suit for the SAME reason! LOL 

    I think its true to size. I wear a medium (size 6/8) and I bought a medium top and bottom. It fits good.

  • Thank you for posting this!  I think I just found the suit I have been looking for!
