TOOOOO Smalll

By Totightforcomfort from Studio City, CA on 03/05/2010

Pros:
Dries Quickly
Cons:
Restricts Movement
Best Uses:
Warm Weather, Yoga/Dance
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This top is a full size to small. If you like fitted gym wear it may be for you. I usually wear a small and ordered a medium because of previous reviews. The medium is still tight but usable. Because it was so inexpensive I will not sent it back.

I like cotton workout clothes

By Happy Gym Girl from Eagle River, AK on 01/06/2010

Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stylish
Best Uses:
Gym, Running
Describe Yourself:
Gym Rat
Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm 36AA bust (36A b4 kids) and the built in bra offers all the support I need for step class and running. I ordered a size large and it is a nice fit, not tight anywhere and not baggy. It is low cut so bigger chested women than me may not want to bend over too far. I wear it to spin class and it is a bit revealing but not bad since I am so small busted. The bra band holds my heart rate monitor in place.

Bought another/similar top from Marika that I love - this one fits more tightly. Exchanged one size for another and still not completely happy.

Order bigger , very low neckline.

By veggirl from so cal on 05/24/2009

Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Stylish
Cons:
Poor Fit, Restricts Movement
Best Uses:
Anytime
Describe Yourself:
Occasional Exerciser
Sizing:
Feels full size too small
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I really liked these shirts, but was disappointed that they were so small. Usually a medium is a bit loose on me, but these mediums were skin tight and the built in bra made it very restrictive. Also the neckline was too low and showed too much skin for my taste.

As an older woman I found the fit to be very, very tight around the midsection. The fabric had a nice finish although felt heavy for hot climates.
