(I ordered a large 12-14.) Im 5'4\\\\\\\" and weigh 173lbs. I have a smaller bust, wider hip and it fits comfortably in both areas. The bottoms have adjustable ties on each hip for a more versatile fit and the top has adjustable shoulder straps. It shows a little of the upper back and sides but hides the self conscious areas like the mom tummy and love handles. This swimsuit is of great quality, and affordable.
