Sizing issues but good shirt - see my review for help with sizing

Tip - scroll down to see exact sizes S, M and L After reading all the confusing reviews, I have I sure ordered the small and medium either one of them fits. I usually wear t-shirts one size smaller. I have a slightly short waist, the so-called straight body type. and I like the fitted look that shows the waist but does NOT hug the bust. I'm 5ft 3cm tall, 125-130, bust 34-36 inches. The little one was very tight on my chest and looked ridiculous. The medium fit was ok but I'm a bit modest and I didn't want my bust to look a little stretchy. My husband said it was ok but felt a little uncomfortable. Both small and medium I could see what the other reviewers were saying about the sleeves. The width and length of the sleeves did not match the chest. Strange fit. I argued but settled on the medium size and ordered the large just to see the difference. everything but perfectly suited the chest. So I left the big one. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think I made the right choice and sometimes I feel like it looks huge. I just couldn't face the thought of wearing something that I felt was too tight in the chest. The sleeves are very long and big and the length is too long but it's not. the fight. I don't think there is a perfect solution for someone with a full bust with this shirt. When the shirt is wet it sticks which makes it fit better but not too tight on the chest. I don't think the material gets bigger when it gets wet but you will notice the longer sleeve more in the water. I want my hands to be protected from the sun so I don't mind but it takes a little getting used to. I think I made the right choice, but it would be nice if the medium had 1 inch more chest room. That would be perfect for me. I ordered purple and this color shows up on my computer screen. mauve in my opinion and I was glad because I didn't want purple. The fabric seems to be of good quality and it washed well and stood in the pool when I've worn it so far. I haven't dried it but I am drying never rash guards. The material is comfortable but warm when dry. I found it warmer than my rash guard, but it could be my imagination. Here's hoping I can help someone else. and compare the sizes with those below. So even though I had S, M and LI, measure each one. Remember they will stretch and these measurements are for shirts laid flat, not on a person and will not stretch at all. L = total length of the shirt from the top of the collar on the back to the bottom of the shirt. C = Chest measurement at the front of the shirt, just under the armpits. from seam to seam. (Front only) W = waist measurement at front of shirt at narrowest point. (only front, not front and back) The shirt has the shape of an hourglass. H = The shirt is actually a lot longer than my hips, but this is the measurement from the bottom of the shirt. For the model in the photo, this is her hips (front only) SL = this is the length of the sleeve from the top of the collar (with a hem down to the neck) to the bottom of the cuff. SWB = This is the sleeve measurement directly on the biceps. (1/2 turn is only doubled when measuring your own arm circumference) SWC = this is the sleeve measurement at the cuff (again 1/2 turn) Small L 25&1/2" C 16&1 /2" W 15" H 17&1 /2" SL 28&1/2" SWB 5&1/2" SWC 4" Medium L 26&1/2" C 18" W 16&3/4" H 19" SL 28&3/4" SWB 6" SWC 4" Large L 27&1/2" C 19" W 18" H 20" SL 29&1/4" SWB 6" SWC 4&1/4"
