  I think it would fit fine. My DH wears one and he's a XXL guy (much bigger than a womans 18/20 I think).

  i am not plus sized, but i am 5'11, generally about a size 10. and i had a moby d that someone from ds is sending back to me (see my "unhappy ds buyer" post below). and at my height i was able to fit the moby d just fine.

  incidentally do you wnat to buy my slightly faded blue and black silk pattern moby d for a good price?
  

   

  Got any pics??

  For what it's worth, the fabric is pretty stretchy.?

  I am 5'1 and wear 4/6 sizes. DD is 3 months, 13 lb. Even when I double knot it, there is still about 15 or 16 inches hanging down on both sides (I measured...). ?

  So basically I think that it could fit anyone. With the stretchiness factor and the extra fabric, I think it's made to accomodate many different body types. ?

  the only pics i have are the ones that the woman who sold me the item put on her posting. according to the woman who bought it from me and is returning it, these photos were not really representative. (i might disagree but whatever).  here is the link to my listing on ds, so you at least can see the pattern, but be aware that i was told that the fading is more pronounced than these photos represent.

  Hmm ... well, I will say it's not my most favorite fabric, but who cares if it's faded a bit? Let me check with DH and get back to you?

  I am not all that happy with mine. The first time I tried it on, it was great! It fit really well. Then DS peed through his diaper so I had to wash it. I followed the directions and it shrunk A LOT! Before there was more than a foot on each side. After I had to stretch it a bunch and there was still on 3-4 inches after being tied. And no, I didn't gain weight:) This was all in one day.

  I'm a size 10 with big boobs and I'm 5'9" so that may have something to do with it. I would recommend air drying maybe.

  I never tried mine on before washing, but we washed and dried ours and it still fits my XXL DH.

  I am a 22, and I love my Moby. I tie it in the back instead of the front, but I have washed it probably 10x and never had a problem with it not fitting. Another option if you're worried about it would be to buy a loveyduds on etsy, and ask her to make it longer. I think that hers are a yard shorter than an actual moby already, so maybe ask her to add 2 yards? Plus, I think hers are soo much cuter than an actual moby. I would guess that if you got one with a yard longer than the moby, you could tie it in the front no problem.

  (It doesn't make a difference functionally if its tied in the front or the back, but it can be a little uncomfortable to sit with it tied in the back. I usually just pull the knot up or down though, and it solves the problem.)

  Another vote that it definitely fits. I just can't do the extra wrap around my waist at the end, but it's no big deal at all. I'm about a 20/22 before I was pregnant and when I was using it with DD and it was good:)
