Dove Beaded Bikini Bottom

I am a size medium in bottoms in most brands Skatie, garage, fp etc... I weigh 150lbs and I’m 5’6”. I have longer legs shorter torso, average butt, not way big not flat. Let me tell you there is no possible way I’d fit a medium in the dove bottoms. So confused on these reviews lol. I would 100% save your time and go with the large if you are typically a size medium. And size up one size in general. My friends who order from this brand always size up as well. I usually can get away with a large in this bottom but depending on the fabric they def fit snug and more of an athletic fit, but I make it work. I will say if you can get the sizing down, they are beautiful bottoms that I’ve grown to obsess over and they are very flattering when they do fit. Keep in mind they are meant to be worn lower on the hips which takes some getting used to after years of high rise. If you try to pull them up too high in the hips they will def run too small, because they a rent meant to sit that high. I will say depending on the fabric of the dove style they fit differently some looser some tighter which is kinda annoying. But I’ve been able to make it work usually with a size large as a true size medium bottom.
