This beach cover up is exactly like the picture. I got the blue one and yes the material is slightly sheer so you can see through it and is nice and breezy for the beach. But it is also strong and thick enough to be worn over bikini even if you have stretch marks you want to hide. I'm 5'11", 182lbs, and a 38D. So I'm tall with curves, and this fits pretty well. I admit that this is slightly short in the front for me, coming up to just below my crotch but that's also because I'm so wonderfully tall and have legs for days. But the back goes down to the top of my knees. I think most people, who aren't itty bitty, under my height will be extremely satisfied with this product.
