I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

I'm told by my wife the material does stretch. She is smaller bra size, but told me that you should be good to go.

In my opinon they run a little small. Get a mens or the next size up in a womens size.

I wear a 36D bra and bought a size large. It was tight but not uncomfortable. The fabric is not loose at all. It's bathing suit material.

Make sure you measure the outermost point. We made a measuring mistake and ordered one too small. The return was easy and we got another one. It fit just right. I can only speculate, but based on my experience I would get a bigger size, because even the correct one was tight and there was little if any stretching. Good luck.

Probably M for Tri swimming. Lengthwise M is the right size but you may feel too tight. But it has to be tight so that no water flowing through. Hope it stretch out after using for a while.

I am a female with a 38 chest but I have the small/medium. It works great. As another reviewer said you slide your arm through and tighten it. i think you might want to try the large/xlarge. Call the company and ask them.

In all honesty, I used to be a 36DD and this type of sports bra was never good for me. Now that I've lost weight and am a lot smaller in size these fit very nicely. I say this because the straps are very narrow and when you are larger chested these tend to dig into your shoulders. Your wife might feel too much movement in a top like this. I would suggest perhaps an Adidas or Nike type that has wider straps. Depends on the specific kind but I used to be able to fit into a large or xlarge, depending on brands.

That was a good question which honestly I couldn't answer. So I went and put my sons on. If your chesty it's not anymore uncomfortable then a sports bra. Other than that it just feels like a Lycra fitted shirt.

I was surprised how supportive this suit was because I wear a 38c. It fits up nicely under the arms so there is no spillage there either. I hope this helps.

I'm really short waisted, it came up to my bra line - I liked that though because everything was smooth instead of having a line where the undergarment ended and my bra started. I also wore underwear beneath it to reduce the amount of washing needed.

It appears Amazon is out of the Large. How about the Large Short (size LS)? It states it is the same chest and waist size but probably a shorter torso as it is listed for someone 5'7" to 5'9". Also I'm 6'0", 178lbs with a 42" chest and 34" waist. I ordered a Large and found it tight in the chest and especially around my neck. I workout but am not "thick". I had to get an XL and it fits pretty good. I guess I'm trying to say that they run a little small. Love the wetsuit by the way!

I'm not sure how you guys are wearing this, but maybe I put the band on backwards? It's stretched out to ~18ish in and I think it would it snug on 19. My arms are 12in and I wrap it around almost 1.5 times. I think it would work!

Ok just speaking for myself and my experience. I am NOWHERE near your bra size. I am teeny, always have been since ballet when I was young. I am 5' 4" and around 128-130. Frighteningly for me I had to go with a Large in this suit. It fits comfortably but not very loose so is secure for swimming laps. All I can say is if I had a hard time getting into a large I really can't imagine you fitting into. Large. But you can always order and try and return in case I am wrong. Not sure if this helps but hope so. I think you would have better luck with anXL or more in the Sporti brand unitard. Good luck!

I just looked up the TYR sizing chart and it's pretty true across the board. I wear a 6 in most clothing (I'm petite but muscular) and I have a XS in the bikini like they recommended. Be aware that the fit is snug though, like it's supposed to be. As a swimmer, I would always go with more snug because a suit top that drags down to my waist when I flip turn or sags in the butt is annoying. That's what I love about this suit- it's two piece and stays right where it's supposed to; so personally I wouldn't size up.

I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight. I use to wear a 32 waist in Levi's Jeans, now a 36 waist is baggy but the 34's are too tight. I have a very slight belly. I wear this around my naval area and it stretches, I would think it would fit a true 36 inch to 37, possibly a 38 inch waist. I know the tighter the fit the more it will pull in your gut and your lower back. The length of the brace is 39 inches long laid out flat UN-stretched and stretched I easily got it to 46 -47 inches. I hope that helps you make a better educated decision to buy or not to buy this Mr. Firtel. I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight.

I wore it a lot tucked in my bra...but when I ran in the summer, the sweat did a rust job on the inner post. Am wearing it in bra during cool weather. carrying in hip pack when I run.

Mine is just stick to my skin. I won't say it is tight as I can move freely. I have checked the official website on the size guide before I buy it. You may have a look.

hi. I ordered a XXL. I am size 18 in clothes. chest 38DD waist 37 hips 50 and I am 5'1". this fits perfectly. it is "firm" to wear. I have another suit I wear but it does not "hold" as well. when I exercise in the pool everything stays put in this one. I hope this helps
