Review on Womens Sleeves Athletic Tankini Swimsuit by Alicia Pattinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

To increase or not to increase the size. HERE'S A QUESTION

I'm 5'0", 58kg, 36A, wear size 4P-6P dresses, size 8P jeans, small tops and carry my weight on stomach, hips and thighs. I range from small to medium , based on some reviews stating to buy one size up from your normal size, ended up buying a small Pros - Fits well on the chest (not too tight and I like the built in lining as it sits where it's supposed to) and on the torso (actually a little loose).I love the print and it's easy to take off when it gets wet.It dries quickly and still doesn't smudge or fade.Cons - tapers a bit Neck and shoulders (although I have slightly large shoulders and deltoids just based on my build) and arms are tight, maybe a little too tight, at the forearm and wrist.I like tight arms as other rashguards I've had are too loose are but maybe just an extra piece of fabric around the neck/shoulders/arms would have made it a little more comfortable. As for the bikini bottoms provided, they are cute and not too tight and they looked perfectly normal but showed a bit more cheekiness, thanks for showing them comfortably (again, I'm carrying my weight here). My husband said that if I was wearing bikini bottoms I most likely would have been screened just because I had a little more body in the back. I guess I'll leave that to the younger girls :) so I wear other bottoms one size up. In general I am satisfied with the rashguard. I asked my husband if I should trade it in for a medium based on how my neck, shoulders and arms look and feel and he said that a larger size would probably make them bagger. /below, consider scaling up if you don't want that tapered or fleshy look. Finally, I paid for my purchase in full and definitely did not receive any privileges or freebies for writing a review.

Pros
  • Breathable, quick-drying and stretchy fabric makes it easy to move through the water and surf.
Cons
  • For old
