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.
5?3?. 145 lbs. 40? bust. Large fits great. I put it on over a turtleneck, and it was a little bit tight. I would wear this over a tank or small tee shirt, so it?s just right.
