Review on πŸ‘™ Stylish Women's Printed Long Sleeve Rash Guard Two Piece Swimsuit Set with Capri Pants - Trendy Swimwear for Ladies by Beth Finlinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice swim top, thrown bottom

About the fit: I know of a few other reviews that said to order a size up. I'm US size 16-18, long torso, broad shoulders and 36H chest, so I was concerned that XL (14-16) might be too tight, so I ordered XXL (18-20). It's actually a bit large - it sits well on the chest but loses a bit around the stomach and waist and around the arms so it floats a bit in the water and floats a bit (for those new to rashguards should they usually fit like a second skin so the fabric doesn't float around you and give you extra resistance in the water). It can still be worn but I really should have ordered a smaller size. Yes, as others have said, the temples are a bit long (about an inch longer in my case), but in my experience, many rash guards have fairly long temples. I just pull them up so all the excess fabric is on top and this helps me get my arms over my head without lifting the top. About design and quality: Overall the fabric quality and construction looks pretty good. Thereon. The removable bra pads are in the right place, which is very unusual in my experience (I usually have to take them off because they're either too small or 2 inches lower than my actual chest). The front of the top is also lined so you can wear it without a bikini top underneath if you wish. I swam in it today without a bikini top and the girls stayed in place the whole time. It doesn't provide enough support for jumping around a lot (I wear a bikini top underneath for example when I do aqua zumba or play beach volleyball), but it provides enough support for a regular swim. Lining is an odd choice, however. - It's like the fabric of a t-shirt, so it absorbs a lot of water. One of the reasons you wear a rashguard and not a regular long-sleeved t-shirt when you swim is that you don't absorb a lot of water (and therefore your suit dries out quickly after a swim), so it's a really silly choice. from lining material. As for the design, it's a cute design and great colors, but the sleeve-to-body connection looks a bit odd on the front - the design looks like the seams on the sleeves are a bit out of place, which causes this it seems like the armholes are a bit big on the front (think when they resized the design from small they forgot to redraw the armhole line) but this is purely aesthetic and a rather minor issue . Bottom: The triangle bottoms are useless - they're so low you can see the top inches of my gluteal fissure, and the front keeps falling down to sit just above my pubic bone (I have a bulge in my stomach - this might work not unless you have a perfectly flat tummy) so overall it looks like the bottom is about to touch the bottom at any moment - I would never attempt to swim the entire length of the pool in it as I'm pretty sure I would this will be the case.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required
