Similar to the t shirt version, the fabric is lovely and colours are great for Safari but the sizes are huge. I’m a uk 8-10 normally but the XS was like a tent on me.

Size Chart & Size Guide
Please read the instructions below this size chart before ordering. We have indicated whether this size chart uses body or garment measurements in the notes below the size chart. Allow 1cm variance for all garment measurements (as an example a 56cm garment measurement has a variance of 55-57cm. Please factor that into deciding on the size to order.)
To select cm (cm) or inches (in") please see the top left corner of the size chart table.

⊙ We have shown the Body measurement for the full bust. Body measurements are approximates.
⊙ For the Full Bust Body measurement measure around your body: under your arms and around the fullest part of your bust.
⊙ Fit guide: These shirts are made to be a relaxed fit, with a relaxed waist, but many clients will order one size to wear as a more fitted T-shirt, and another larger size for a looser, more relaxed fit. The fit is made to be more loose than on our Rufiji and Mara&Meru BUGTech and SAFARITech shirts.

Introduction:
The Serengeti Long-Sleeved Top is all about casual style, with a soft feel and super comfy drape and design. Choose between the rayon/spandex fabric for a luxury touch or T-Liteful polycotton for practical outdoor and travel features. In safari-suitable colours, stock up on your favourite tops for African travels or subtle everyday safari elegance.
There is more than meets the eye when it comes to this great garment. The silky rayon/spandex fabric gives it an incredibly soft hand feel and elegant drape – a little something special for comfort and ease of motion wherever you wear it. For superior wicking, quick crease release, and fast-drying features, opt for lightweight T-Liteful polycotton
A long-sleeved shirt is essential for safari and outdoors. Our shirts in technical fabrics are our top recommendation for performance, but the Serengeti Long-Sleeved Top is an investment in simple comfort and casual style for travel and everyday wear. The loose fit and medium-length fit is a great match for almost any trousers, shorts, skirts, or skorts.
The short-sleeved Serengeti V-Neck T-Shirt is a favourite with our clients and should come with a ‘one-in-every-colour’ warning. While the short-sleeved tee was put through its paces on the Three Rivers Expedition, the rayon/spandex long-sleeved top has been happily safari-tested in the desert dunes of Kgalagadi and out and about on game viewers in Tuli, Botswana. The T-Liteful has been safari-tested across Tanzania as a great addition to every women’s safari outfit. It’s worn very regularly back home too – a great crossover top for safari shoppers.
It is worth noting though that while we have safari and expedition tested this shirt, it is not a high-performance technical shirt, as with our BUGTech range. The fabric we use was selected more for comfort and feel, rather than technical performance.

Just as described, this shirt has a soft feel and nice drape and design. It's something you can quickly put on and feel comfortable. I'd say it fits true to size. Colour is gorgeous, too. Overall, it looks and feels good! The material does not feel cheap or flimsy. Ideal for safari or the plane ride to safari!

⊙ The rayon/spandex shirt fabric achieves its luxurious feel by using a micro-fibre construction. When you unpack your Women's Serengeti V-neck Safari T-Shirt for the first time, you may notice marks on the shirt. Please note that these are not permanent stains or marks. When we iron each shirt before packing them, some of the micro-fibres end up in the opposite orientation to the others and then it looks like a stain or mark, when actually it is not. When the shirt is washed and hung up to dry, then the stain or mark disappears.
⊙ MATERIAL: This T-shirt is available in two fabric options. 95% rayon / 5% spandex and 65% poly / 35% cotton T-Liteful
⊙ COLOURS: The rayon/spandex Serengeti Long-Sleeved T-Shirt is available in Safari Dusk, Safari Earth, and Safari Bushwillow. The T-Liteful polycotton Serengeti T-Shirt is only available in Frontier Olive.
