Wearing my size small, Sumba Women Rash Guard in Midnight has been more than just slipping into a swimsuit—it's been an experience in feeling powerful, feminine, and free for my 110lb, 5 feet tall athletic frame.
From the moment I opened the beautifully wrapped package (which arrived to the U.S. from Australia in just three business days—amazing!), I could tell this piece was something special.
The craftsmanship is flawless—every stitch speaks to the love and care that went into making it.
The zipper is strong, smooth, and secure, and the design hugs my body like it was made for me.
While I generally wear a size small and I found this to be a bit tight in the shoulders and biceps (I followed the size chart), the fabric is so beautifully stretchy and high quality that it still works—so I’m keeping it, even if I’ll skip the repostage fee.
But here's what really sets this piece apart: when I wear it, I feel like the best version of myself. Whether I'm surfing, paddle boarding, swimming, or just standing in front of the mirror, I’m reminded that strength and elegance can coexist—and that embracing our bodies as they are is the most powerful thing we can do.
Thank you, Ocean Soul Bali, for creating something that not only protects me from the sun but makes me feel seen, strong, and stunning. 💙
