Alicia64 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Buying from a catalog is always risky. I'm a size 8 -- 5'7 and 140 lbs. and I'd like to buy a bathingsuit. Do the Athleta clothes tend to run big? Small? I'm betting they run small. Any help is very appreciated. alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5forMe Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I bought a swim suit from them and it was true to size. I found the reviews on the website of each swim suit very helpful. It seems some things run small, some run big. I HATE ordering from their website though. I put something in my cart and then I change the page and come back and my cart is empty. So when I bought my swim suit, I was only buying one item. I couldn't get the website to process my cc. It kept taking me to the error page....SO FRUSTRATING! I tried to open it in a different browser and it didn't help. So I ended up calling and getting an operator to process my order over the phone.

chai Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have gotten several things from them. For the most part, I think they are true-to-size. I'm similar to your size and I get mediums. The reviews are the best indicator though. I read them through until I find someone who seems similar to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuzu822 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I think it's more true to size than other GAP brands. I have a bathing suit I love from Athleta and some running clothes. Always had good luck with sizes, and when I didn't like something, the return was painless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
