I got this as a bathing suit cover up and it is absolutely beautiful. I sized up (so it would be baggy) but didn't need to. It is well made and the attention to detail in the pattern and sewing is amazing.
Beautiful detail, great quality and flattering fit. Had to re order a size up as the chest measurement was too tight on me. xl measured 40" in chest and there is no stretch to it. I am hoping the xxl will not be too big.
By the way Novica has great customer service!
