Since the picture is blue, I didn't know what to expect with the purple rush, but I kind of expected it to be a rich, dark purple. This is not the case, it is a lighter, softer purple. I'm okay with the color, although I do think I would have preferred something darker. The shirt itself was not very expensive, is super comfortable, and is flattering on me despite my less-than-flat tummy. DO size up one size. I am usually a size large, and I got an extra large. It fits perfectly, clingy in the right places (chest and arms), with leaving enough slack on my belly to be roomy and not tight enough to make it look huge. It is also long enough to not have to worry about the back coming up when I bend over. Very nice material, perfect fit if you size up. For $8 and free shipping, you can't go wrong! I already orders another in white and I plan to order more colors soon!
