I really love that they made something to cover over the bikini, especially if you're a little shy about wearing such a unique bikini. It still catches everyone's attention, so be prepared for that. I'm 5"4, and I will say that the skirt is very LONG, so you will be carrying the skirt or you might end up stepping over it on accident. It's still really beautiful, regardless, but I do wish it was a little shorter. The covers also flow so gorgeously in the water, but be aware that once you step out of the water, it's realllly heavy, so I'd only recommend using the cover top & bottom when you're out of the water.
