The Printed Long Sleeve Top and Brief Swim Set includes two different waist figures in its chart: “Waist” and “Waist Stretch Amount.” Read them as separate entries before comparing the set with swimwear you own.

Work through the S row

The S row lists a waist of 25.20 inches and a waist stretch amount of 28.35 inches. Subtracting the printed figures gives 3.15 inches. The same row lists bust 34.65 inches, sleeve length 23.62 inches and top length 13.78 inches.

The difference between two chart entries is an arithmetic observation, not a test of comfortable stretch on a body. Ask how both waist figures were obtained and whether one is a relaxed garment measure and the other an extended measure. Do not choose a size by assuming the larger number is a recommended maximum body waist.

Check the top in its own right

A waist comparison cannot establish the fit of a long-sleeved top. Compare bust, sleeve and top length with a similar garment, using the same measurement convention. The listed top length also deserves attention when you decide how the two pieces should meet around the midsection.

For example, the M row gives a top length of 14.17 inches and sleeve length of 24.02 inches. Those values answer different questions: one concerns body coverage, the other where the sleeve ends. Neither can substitute for the other.

Record construction and selection together

• Pieces: the listing identifies a two-piece top-and-brief set.
• Support details: no padding and no underwire are recorded.
• Material: 80% polyester and 20% spandex are listed, with highly stretchy fabric.
• Options: Navy or Strawberry, in S through XL.

Compare the active color’s gallery for the actual print. Long sleeves and the fiber percentages do not establish a certified UV-protection rating. If that is essential to your use, request specific supporting information instead of inferring it from coverage.

The online care instructions mention a cold machine wash and low tumble drying; check the supplied label. The measurement guide explains how to keep garment values and body values separate while you complete the two-piece comparison.
