I bought this suit while I was in the process of losing my baby weight. I think I weighed about 145 when I wore this and I'm 5'4 1/2" . I can't remember if I wore it at all, if I did, it was just the one time. It is very slimming and made me feel much more comfortable than other suits I had tried at the time. Post partum life is hard and us ladies need some ruching in our lives to make it just a bit easier.
