Review on Baleaf Half Zip Protection Rashguard: The Ultimate Adjustable Women's Clothing for Optimal Comfort and Style by Jason Przystup

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works for pregnancy! Two size ratings.

I'm 5'9; and height before pregnancy 145 lbs. I am now 152 pounds and 19 weeks along with my second bra size 32D. I bought it for a trip at 32-34 weeks (7.5 months) pregnant and flaunted that size by putting a blanket under my shirt (later updated with a photo added at 33 weeks was, 168lbs - the one with the thai elephant.I wear a coral top L and XL pants and I haven't made any changes.) MEDIUM SIZE CHECK (coral shirt in photos at home): If I was a little smaller I would choose a medium size, chest too high. The arms are quite long, but I can say that I would lower them a bit when active. I'm going to mosquito country and I don't want to get Zika so I don't want to worry. The shirt is tight and reaches up to the thigh and covers the entire upper body and buttocks despite my size. I also like that it fits tighter in the upper body to show off the stomach but maybe it would be too tight especially when wet as my journey is around 32-34 weeks. LARGE SIZE GUIDE (turquoise shirt in photos): Large bust size, but underbust seam is much more comfortable. I can just sew up the sides or tie a bow at the back (and then maybe do the darning!) if I want it to be more form fitting as I'm good at sewing. The sleeves are looser and longer, making them easier to remove when wet, they don't ride up too much during activities, and the looser sleeves prevent mosquitoes from biting through them. As my belly grows, the upper body becomes more comfortable and even at 7.5. Months pregnant he is quite long. (I've never reworked them at all and they were fine; see photo of the elephant.) These are pants that fit well on an L for pregnancy and the first, maybe second trimester, but for the third trimester I prefer the XL -Size for comfort. Roll up the strap and lengthen it a bit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0783BRW5M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
