This cover-up fits true-to-size and has a cool, sporty look.  If it were a regular dress, it would be too short, but I like it for the beach or pool.  The only drawback is that I expected it might be more absorbent, like a terry cloth material, but if your suit is still wet underneath, it leaves wet spots on the cover-up (although it's subtle in the black color).  Best cover-up I have owned, but a little different than I expected.
