The color is extremely beautiful & just as pictured. I'm 5'5 and 210lbs and got a 1x. Fits good to me. Personally, this suit is made to fit snug. If you want a "somewhat loose" fit, I recommend going up 2 sizes more.

I had to alter this swimsuit to fit my arms, chest and armpit area correctly, I’m usually a size small but this one was too big
