I am 5’3 189 lbs and very hippy. I purchased a size L in this showstopper. I needed assistance zipping it up but once I got it up, there were no issues. There is NO stretch in the “belt” area but the jumpsuit itself appears to be made out of stretch bandage material. The only flaw is that when I turned around to look at it in the mirror, the seam in the butt area had unraveled just like some of the other reviews mentioned. It’s so cute on that I’m going to keep it and take it to my tailor to fix it.
