    Thank you so much for the seller offer. I am appreciative of the value, beauty, packaging, and quick shipping of this item. Item was as described and happened to fit perfectly. Sale was based on the seller description since size tags had been previously removed. Seller went the extra mile and beautifully wrapped the swimsuit and attached a round sticker to seal it with a thank you note on the sticker. A+!! Thank you!
