I bought this for my daughter to wear at the pool, beach and lake. She is 10 years old, about 85 pounds and 4'8. I ordered the size 14. It fits pretty well, but I would prefer it was a litlte longer (could be that my daughter is tall though). While standing, it covers her entire waist and back area, but when she is bending over (or playing in the sand), it creeps up a little and her skin is in the sun if wearing a tankini. Otherwise, completely happy with the purchase.
