It was just a little bit smaller than I expected based on the reviews. But I wore it open over a tank top and it was actually cuter that way. The fabric is super soft and breathable, and I wasn't too warm at all, even in the tropical Hawaiian temps. The perfect shirt to fit in at a luau! At home I'll use it as a swimsuit coverup. Trust me, you don't want to pay the prices for a Hawaiian shirt in Hawaii - this is every bit as nice and a small fraction of the cost.
