This swimsuit is very cute. There is ruching in the tummy area to disguise any bulging. It's like wearing a short dress. The only thing I don't like about it is the legs of the shorts underneath are too tight. This is really not a big deal as most swimsuits stretch when in water. If it doesn't, I have no problem popping stitches til it's comfortable. I would like it to be longer, but it is still really cute. Great fit. I'm 6'0 229 pounds. I think the last I measured my hips were 49 inches; waist is 36 1/2 and bust is 40C. I usually wear a 16 on top and an 18 on bottom. A lot of times when I order a plus size, I'm too small in the top to fit the size really well. I do not have this problem with this suit. If you're top heavy, it may be too small.
