Love love love this sarong.  We went on a cruise for our honeymoon and I got so many compliments on this sarong.  I am 5'1" and about a size 14/16.  This was plenty long (too long for me almost lol) and plenty wide to be used as a cover up.  I am very fair-skinned so I used it to keep my shoulders, arms,  and chest out of the sun when lounging, and to cover up when headed back to our stateroom or to sit at the bar.  Perfect!
