These run in junior's sizes. I figured this out by purchasing my first from a brick & mortar store and realizing a 7-8 was considered a "medium" They work great as a rash guard shirt and should be ordered to fit like a glove (pardon the pun) Great swim/surf shirts if you get the right size.

Here's a cheat sheet to their sizing:
Size XS 3-4
Size S 5-6
Size M 7-8
Size L 9-10
Size XL 11-12

Body Glove Womens Short Arm Lycra Rash Guard Shirt
On the advice of other rash guard buyer reviews, I ordered this shirt in a XL (the largest size offered), as I normally wear a M/L. I wasn't even going to attempt to try it on because it seemed, in my opinion, very small and tight for a XL. I am not sure if just Body Glove sizes these snug, or if all form fitted rash guards run small in size. It is a really nice looking shirt & I wish they made these in larger or true-to-fit 'real women' sizes. Shame it didn't fit & I had to return it! ***I would suggest to others to ask for specific measurements before ordering & not to go by the merchants standard sizing chart.

I am 5'6", 122 lbs, bust 34-B, 26" waist, 35" hips. In shirts/sweaters, I could wear a misses Sm, but prefer a Med. I DON'T like clothes that fit snug! That being said, I figured I should order an Extra Large in this shirt. I was RIGHT on!!! I love this shirt. Beautiful quality and with the XL it 'fits' my arms and chest, (not tight). It is slack around my middle, but not sloppy enough to ride up in the water. Perfect! Also ordered my husband an XXL with the same results, (he usually runs between a Med and a Lrg in shirts). Happy snorkeling!

I don't know what the other reviewers were thinking. All rash guards and scuba skins are form fitting. I wear a Medium/Large shirt due to my large bust line and I ordered a large body glove lycra shirt and the fit was perfect. It is supposed to be snug. I am a 38D and it fits and looks great!!!!!!

I'm 5'6" with a 33" bust, 26" waist and this shirt fits in a medium, snug like it's supposed to. Not sure if that's the "proper" fit but I figured I'd add one more point for people to gauge their sizing from :). The shirt itself is absolutely adorable!
After wearing this shirt a few times, I have to say the neckline is too tight. It's fine once it's on, but it's almost painful squeezing it over my head (and my head is not big!). It did keep me from getting burned snorkeling under the high equatorial sun so I'm still glad I got it!

I found this true to size. Bought a medium. It is snug but after all, it is a "body glove"!!

I am usually a size small but bought the size large shirt based on other reviews of this swim shirt. Even with a large it is a bit snug under the arms. Otherwise, it is a great shirt and kept me from being sunburned in the pool this year. Make sure you order a size 2 or 3 times your regular size for a more comforatble fit.

This is a beautiful looking rash guard. It has a feminine touch. It seems true to size. Would recomend this. I'll probably buy more.

I got this for my wife. After look at some of the other reviewers I decided to get her a size medium. She is 5'3" and 105 pounds and usually wears extra small. She also has slightly larger than normal bust. The medium is a little baggy, I could have easily gone with the small. But since it will be under a wetsuit half the time anyway I don't see it as too much of a problem. So I am not sure if the others are just used to a baggy rash guard, or if the smaller sizes are more correct. Either way it has worked well for the few times we have used it so far.

I searched around for awhile before making my decision. I chose this one because of it's review and the fact that it wasn't long sleeve and not short sleeve. I ordered a Medium and I'm 5'1 105 pounds. It fits tight. The sleeves come right up to the top of my elbow. It fits tight but it's still comfortable. The pink on this is darker than it appears on the picture. It is see thru but your wearing a swim suit top underneath so that doesn't matter.I recommend this. It also came a day earlier than expected which made me super excited.
