Absolutely LOVE this swimsuit!!! i was afraid it wouldnt fit me as asian and western sizing are completely different but it fit me quite well! (im a medium in US and i order a LARGE) the lacing on the side makes sure you dont feel squeezed in and the legs holes were a bit scary but they arent bad as when you pull the entire suit up the bottom isnt tight around your thighs (if ykyk) shipping was very slow and long but i didnt mind waiting, order up to 3 months in advance if you need items at a certain time!! its perfectly gothic and frilly, i feel super cute and honestly i feel really comfortable in my body for once especially wearing a swim suit. love the tie for the halter neck look extra security but you definitely dont need to tie it as it will stay up on its own. material is regular swim wear and the cut out design on the frills are sooo cute. So happy i got this one!
