To increase or not to increase. HERE IS THE QUESTION

I am 5ft 0in, 118lbs, 36A, I wear 4P-6P in dresses, 8P in jeans, small in tops and carry my weight through my stomach, hips and thighs. I was hesitating between small and medium based on some reviews saying to get a size up from your normal size. I ended up buying a small one. 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 bit loose). I love the print and it's easy to take off if it gets wet. It dries quickly and still doesn't smudge or fade. Cons - tapers a bit in the neck and shoulders (although I have somewhat large shoulders and deltoids just based on my build) and the 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, 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.
