I shouldn't be surprised when a label describes itself as L/XL and I'm trying to wear it while 9 months pregnant, but I hoped that an XL would at least suffice. I'd say this is more of a traditional L than anything close to being described by an XL. Other than that, the quality, softness, and super cute design are fantastic. I especially like that the ties are sewn in on the back which saves you from having to continuously restring or look for or reset the belt. a back view pic would be helpful to show this and would probably increase sales! I look forward to using this as a regular sized person, but won't be sure of it in the maternity ward where I intended to use it. :)
