I always wear a sun shirt over my bathing suit so this year I decided to just buy a swim shirt and pass on the suit underneath.
I typically wear a M or L. I had ordered the M, L and XL in the 1/2 sleeve to try for fit. Here is my take on those as I assume the fit is the same. M fit snug just like I was wearing a bathing suit. The XL fit like a slim tailored shirt. The L fit like a loose fit bathing suit. I ordered the L - hid the belly better. I liked that the shirt stayed put and didn't ride up (I have not worn it in the water yet). It is made very well and I love the Bali - sweet potato print.
I did return this shirt and opted for the 1/2 sleeve. Personal preference only. If I was using this more for sport or wanted more sun coverage I would have opted for this over the 1/2 sleeve. But seeing that I will be mostly chasing toddlers around the beach, I opted for something with a little less coverage.

It matches the Sports Tank top

I like the built in shelf bra which offers modesty, while still being stylist. I have the Bali/Sweet Potato long sleeve top and sports tank top. I plan to wear both while snorkeling, and take the long sleeve top off while on the boat.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I bought the top and got it in record time, days before I expected it. That was the first positive for this order, but much more importantly, I LOVE the shirt. It is truly beautiful. After breast cancer last fall, my doctors have told me to stay out of the sun. As a scuba diver, I know that is not going to happen, so I have been shopping for SPF rashguards for months. This is the first place I've found truly beautiful ones, not just solid colors that will be hard for me to dress under because they show everything. I needed a printed SPF rashguard and am so grateful to have found Girls4Sport. I'll be back!

Bali Long Sleeve Top

I love my new swim top! It is extremely comfortable and I like the design. It's great not to have to worry about the sun when I'm out during the hottest part of the day. The mesh shelf bra fits well and gives a modest appearance. I'll probably order another next year!

Great Performance and Looks Pretty too!

This is a great rash guard. I got it for a boating trip in the BVI's, and it provided just the right amount of coverage and warmth for snorkeling. I'm a bit older, and I didn't really want the skin-tight look, so I ordered a size larger than my normal tee shirt size, and it worked well. It held its shape while wet, and dried quickly. And it is really cute!
