Customer Reviews Carve Designs Dawson Rashguard

I'm 5'4, weigh 25lbs, and 55 yrs old. I ordered a Medium. (I think a small would have worked also) It was a little loose, but that is how I wanted it to fit. I'm super active when I go to the coast and wanted a rashguard shirt that wasn't too fitted and somewhat forgiving in the midsection of my body. Overall, super comfortable and just want I was looking for. I will be ordering more colors in the future.

I decided to go with a medium based on another review and ended up returning it for a small. I am 5’4” and 126 lbs. I lift weights but am more pear shaped, so I carry more of my weight in hips & thighs. Im pretty slim in my top half and a 32C. Because of the weight lifting giving me good shoulders, I never know if a small or medium is the right size. The biggest issue that I had with the medium in this shirt was in the shoulder and armpit area. The material gaped at the armpit and would have been annoying. Thankfully the small was perfect! It’s fitted and flattering without being tight or confining. It’s very comfortable. I chose this shirt for the zip front, not liking shirts that are too tight around the neck. I LOVE it and will check back for other colors

Highly recommend. 180lbs, 38DD, I ordered and XL because I didn't want a super clingy rashguard for the public pool. Material is super soft, washes up well, and length is easily adjustable with the strings at the waistband. Fit is also longer than other rashguards I have tried which is nice because it doesn't ride up in the water.

gorgeous material, very comfy. ordered in a LG as i wear a size 10 top and it fit beautifully. just the right length for a rash guard, with the option to make it longer or shorter ~ nice bonus. love the cap sleeve and the half zip, makes for easy on/off, and let's out a little air if i get too hot.

Pretty much as described. I am 5'2" and 105lb, usually wear a 2/xs and the XS fits snug. If you want a looser fit go up a size. The style is cute and flattering. I have the side ties as short as they will go in the photo. The fabric is a nice weight, it does show the wrinkles of my swimsuit (across the bust) but that can't be helped. The zipper is longer than I expected but it looks good. Short sleeve rash guards that are fashionable are hard to find so I'm happy with this. I took one star off because it arrived a wrinkled mess, like it had been shoved in the package - I suspect it was a return. I made sure to wash it before wearing.

Sizing: If you want it to just skim your body like a normal “land-based” shirt, get your normal size. But if you want it tight for swimming, go down a size so it doesn’t ride up in the water. It’s a cool top either way.

Super cute top to wear over my bikinis, in the pool or on the beach. I am 5’3” and 114 lbs. The XS is perfect.

Love Love Love this item Kept me from getting red while on a 10 day trip to Mexico Super cute with a bikini top under it while it's unzipped I wasn't sure on size and read reviews Ended up ordering a Large to be safe but would have preferred a medium because I like a little snugger fit I'm ordering a couple more to be ready for summer

I am a size 4 or a small in tops, but ordered M as I like my swim tops to be a bit looser. The M is perfect. Love the drawstring too.

Great lightweight rash guard. It is fitted without being skin tight. This runs a size larger. I'm usually a small to occasional medium and need an xs in this top.

It's so nice to see a bronze color offered in athletic wear again. I feel like grey has taken over the world.

I liked the option with the cap-sleeve rash guard. I've previously only had long-sleeved ones that tend to get really warm. This rashguard covers up areas that are harder to protect with sun screen and feels very comfortable. I've worn it with a Carve tank top under it. The blue color is beautiful.

I bought mine in a large. I am eight months pregnant and my bra size right now exceeds a 38DD. Having said that, this rashguard is super comfortable. It is pretty amazing it fits over my pregnant belly. The drawstrings make it super flexible and perfect for me right now. I know after I lose all this pregnancy weight the rashguard might be a little big but I really do not mind that at all. Honestly, I bought this to comfortable wear on the beach and for snorkeling. I do not feel comfortable in two pieces anymore and this rashguard feels like a thin shirt to me. It feels thin enough to keep me from burning up and loose enough to feel comfortable in. I love it. I would highly recommend anyone to buy this if they need a little extra cover up.

Love this rash guard. I like the fact that is long with a super slimming look. Wish they had more fun summer colors!

I'm 5'6" 34 B, 31 waist 38 hip and the small mostly fits... I'm somewhat short shouldered, so the fit in the shoulders was not preferred, but it seems like it will do a good job of keeping the sun off neck and shoulders when I don't want to overdo it... and will match a lot

So cute. Slightly loose fit but in a good way.

So flattering! This top fits snug in the right places and flows across the others. I love it.

As seen/described. Would purchase again. Cute design and striped pattern.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The sleeves are long enough to cover up shoulders, but short enough to keep you cool. The sides are adjustable to make it longer if more coverage if desired. Its very flattering! Im 56, 130 lbs, I got a size small and its perfect! I got this in navy blue too. I love them both!

I've gotten to the point that I don't like wearing tight and revealing bathing suits anymore. I bought this top in several colors and use it instead of a bathing suit top. I wear them with swim skorts or shorts and a sports bra underneath. This top looks great and gives me more coverage than a traditional bathing suit. I feel really comfortable in it. Highly recommend this top and Carve's long sleeve version.

Looks great over a bathing suit, and works really well for sun protection while I paddle board.
