Bottom Line: Get out there and explore with the ExOfficio Dryflylite Shirt.
I'm tall and thin (5'11", 130 lbs., mid-B cup, and I usually wear a medium) and this shirt swam on me - the shoulders were cut right, but the fit was very boxy (like a guy's shirt) and much too short. I wear shirts like this at work (I'm a camera operator), and if I can't lift my arms over my head without exposing my stomach, it's a no-go.
I imagine this shirt would fit a larger-chested or more pear- or apple- shaped woman much better. (I'd recommend TNF Falls Creek woven shirt for willowy hourglass-types.)
Great fabric though - it was soft and the dark thistle color had a shimmery quality. I wish Ex Officio made more fitted shirts because I like the technical specs of their clothes.
This shirt is very light on the skin. After a day of fishing - and actually catching!- I wasn't done in the water, but I did not want to be in the sun anymore. I put this on uder my vest a little afraid if it would be comfortable. Forgot about that concern after the first cast. I'm 5'4" 125 and the small fits great. I like that it doesn't have shirt tails cuz it looks great tucked in or out. Nice added feature- the two zipper pockets!
I bought this shirt in a small and found the shoulders binding so I ordered it in a medium. The sleeve length was ample. The fabric is luxurious and silky. The length hits high hip, but covers most of the t's that I will be wearing underneath. I wish it was about an inch longer though. The shirt is shaped and is flattering and functional. I am going someplace really hot so I'll write and let you know how it performs in situ.
