I was pleasantly surprised! This is a cute swimdress and the quality is very good! I'm 5'3", 150 lbs. I ordered the 8 and it fits great - except the bust is a little small, but at a D cup (and nursing) I have this problem all the time - I'll make it work. I tried it on and my husband commented right away that I didn't look very fat :-/ and the suit was cute and sexy.
