This suit is very nice. I do believe it is cut a size smaller. I had to buy a 12 and I've never worn a 12 in my life. As far as the review that said you would have to take the suit apart to remove the cups, that's not true, there's a finger size opening at the beginning of the inside shoulder strap where you can remove them. I love the River Teal.

Beautiful suit that did not hold up to chlorinated aerobics class. Only lasted 7 uses before the spandex in the back of the suit dissolved. Speedo replaced the first suit with 2nd beautiful suit that fit perfectly. It only lasted 5 classes. Great looking suit for non chlorinated water.
Unfortunately, this did not work for me. The criss-cross material seemed as if it was added as an afterthought. And for someone who is larger chested, it really drew attention rather than flattered. I'm sad about that, because I love my Speedo suits that I use for lap swimming.
I think this is probably a good suit for someone who wants a good quality, conservative suit. It was cut too big for me even though I usually wear size 8 in Speedo. Way too big and higher back and lower leg than I expected from the picture. I retuned it.

I just made some comments without knowing that you had a seperate spot....if you have been in my shoes you could probably relate the most....after a complete mastectomy and reconstuction...as a senior some (if not all of us want to look great to othes and to ourselves...This suit gives me full confidence
Since I have had a double mastectomy, I was hoping that by removing the bra pads, the remaining shelf bra would be flat. However, the underwire bra outline is very prominent, so this suit just won't work for me. I plan to return it soon.

This is a pretty good suit. I bought it after trying on 6 other suits that weren't quite right. My only problem with it is that I wish it were a little tighter on top. I feel like I have to adjust the shoulder straps a lot while the fit in the waist and hips is perfect.
I ordered this suit in a size 12...it was not a true 12, I sent it back and ordered a 14 which I never wear! But, when I did get the 14 it fit so much better! The suit is really nice!

I love everything about this suit except for the "removable" cups. They roll, fold, do everything but stay in place. I cannot remove them without taking suit apart. Either tac them in place or forget them, please. I will but this suit again.
