Customer Reviews: A good example for sizing! November 20, 2009 K. Haviland (Windsor, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am 5'6", 122 lbs, bust 34-B, 26" waist, 35" hips. In shirts/sweaters, I could wear a misses Sm, but prefer a Med. I DON'T like clothes that fit snug! That being said, I figured I should order an Extra Large in this shirt. I was RIGHT on!!! I love this shirt. Beautiful quality and with the XL it 'fits' my arms and chest, (not tight). It is slack around my middle, but not sloppy enough to ride up in the water. Perfect! Also ordered my husband an XXL with the same results, (he usually runs between a Med and a Lrg in shirts). Happy snorkeling!
A Bit Snug September 14, 2009 Minivan Mom (NJ USA) I am usually a size small but bought the size large shirt based on other reviews of this swim shirt. Even with a large it is a bit snug under the arms. Otherwise, it is a great shirt and kept me from being sunburned in the pool this year. Make sure you order a size 2 or 3 times your regular size for a more comforatble fit.
Junior Sizes, Great Rash Guard Shirt May 21, 2009 Mary Santos (Houston, Texas) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
These run in junior's sizes. I figured this out by purchasing my first from a brick & mortar store and realizing a 7-8 was considered a "medium" They work great as a rash guard shirt and should be ordered to fit like a glove (pardon the pun) Great swim/surf shirts if you get the right size.
Here's a cheat sheet to their sizing:
Size XS 3-4
Size S 5-6
Size M 7-8
Size L 9-10
Size XL 11-12
Nice shirt, but fits smaller than stated sizes. April 27, 2009 K. Black (Michigan) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Body Glove Womens Short Arm Lycra Rash Guard Shirt
On the advice of other rash guard buyer reviews, I ordered this shirt in a XL (the largest size offered), as I normally wear a M/L. I wasn't even going to attempt to try it on because it seemed, in my opinion, very small and tight for a XL. I am not sure if just Body Glove sizes these snug, or if all form fitted rash guards run small in size. It is a really nice looking shirt & I wish they made these in larger or true-to-fit 'real women' sizes. Shame it didn't fit & I had to return it! ***I would suggest to others to ask for specific measurements before ordering & not to go by the merchants standard sizing chart.
