The shirt has zero give across the chest. The print is very heavy, which of course would be good but it smooshed my chest so much, the shirt wouldnt budge at all. I usually buy a medium and bought a large, listening to other reviewers. To be comfortable, I really needed an XL but as on the large, other areas of the shirt fit well and even a bit big. That screen print is just so thick! The event has past now so its too late to exchange.
