I love the material, pattern and color of this swimming suit. I am 8 months pregnant, 5'5" and 190. I ordered an XL but found that it top was a little too large, even with my prego belly. The material is high qualiity, and I am planning on taking the sides in after I have the baby, but for people who are too keen on sewing, I would recommend ordering the size you usually wear, or if not pregnant, maybe even a size smaller.
