This is the rash guard I have been looking for, for years, without knowing it. Tried one on in store before a beach trip earlier this year, and I was sold. Amazing. The white goes great with everything. Having the zipper lets you control how much cleavage you are showing, whether you are with family/kids or with your spouse and want it all to hang out. Severely awesome. I am sold. So happy I found Carve Designs!! I usually can wear a large or medium, but the medium was snug and perfect, best for not riding up while in the water.
I bought this rash guard to use on a trip to Hawaii. I wore it swimming and let it dry. After it dryed, I noticed some blue lines on the front. The blue, cloth pull tab stained the white material. I tried everything to get the stain out. There was also a stain on the back that would not come out. I have no idea where that stain came from...almost looks like a scorch mark.
Love it! I bought this to wear while snorkeling and doing outdoor sports where I want a little extra coverage. Fit beautifully and looks great. My favorite part is the adjustable sides. I chose the large in the short sleeve and medium in the long sleeve. Not much difference in the two sizes.
I bought this top in white. The top fits great. The small is very long on my 5’3” frame, but I use the drawstrings on the side to solve that. The white is completely see through when wet, as expected. I love the quarter zip and the top has held up well all summer after constant use.
Fits comfortably, not fitted like a swimsuit should. Fits more like a regular shirt than a rashguard. I’m 110lbs, 5’1” and got the xs. Would have gotten the xxs if they had one. Other than that, the quality is really nice.
This is truly the perfect rashguard. The fit is flattering and the ties at the hip assist in shortening/lengthening the garment as needed. I am 5'6" and 115 lbs and found the size XS to fit like a glove.
Very comfortable and cute with the front zipper and side ties. I like the extra SPF protection this affords while still being stylish. The material is thick enough that my suit lines don't show through but not so thick to cause overheating. The zipper does slip down with excessive swimming but stays in place when I am active outside the water.
I go boating and swimming weekly in the summer. My skin needs protection beyond sunscreen, but it’s so hot here. This is a perfect solution. Protects and keeps you cool.
I love this rash guard. It's easy on and off. And it does the job!!
Based on the size chart, 36A bra size would be a Medium, but the computer told me most folks my size order S. I ordered M because I have broad shoulders/back for my size even though not much chest. The M fits great!
