Received this swim bottom along with 2 others that I bought to replace bottoms that no longer fit. The size is true, the back coverage is full, and the quality of the material is great. It does compress in to flatten the belly. The other fold over bottoms I bought was a perfect height and this one did not go up as much, so I dropped a star. (I have love handles from childbirth, so I need the higher bottoms for a superior look.) Regardless, I am keeping the bottoms and will wear them, they just won't be my favorite. Also, color is more of a royal blue than navy blue to my eyes so be aware of the color you seek.
