Love the shirt. I usually wear a Small (5'5", 116 lbs, 34A), but took advice of other reviewers and ordered Medium, and it's perfect. Only negative is the coral is Much, Much brighter than depicted on my screen. The overstitching is neon orange; I'm talking Day-Glow. I'm still deciding on whether to keep it, or exchange for a more sane hue. I like that there are so many color options. The coral would be good for bike-riding as a safety factor because you would be visible for miles.

Not great for Price.
I'm all about spending the money on something IF IT IS WORTH IT. ie, if I love it, if it will last, if it flatters my body/coloring, etc. Also in terms of cost per use. This shirt for 30.00 is poorly constructed. The hem/stitching around the outside of the shirt is loose in places (as shipped/not worn) and you can see it will easily unravel and has in one area. I bought 2 of these shirts online in 2 different colors, and I really liked this purple color and wanted to like it, but I retuned both.

feminine instead of frumpy
I am a fan of the Zella line, always ordering a size up from what I normally wear because, while I like the body skimming styles, I find if I buy my size, the shirt will be too tight. So, ordered a 3X in this one and it fit my 2X body perfectly.
I like the longer sleeve length (they fall just above my elbow), but I do wish the bottom of the sleeve was banded or tapered or something so that it didn't seem to flare out right above the elbow. The looseness of the sleeve's bottom is not very flattering. But the other qualities of the shirt make this a very minor issue.
I like the runching around the body area as it helps the shirt flatter my lumpy, bumpy middle even through the shirt is close fitting. And finally, an activewear shirt without raglan sleeves! Like many pear shaped women, my body is best balanced out with regular seams at the shoulders, so I was worried that the seaming on this shirt and several of the other Zella shirts I purchased would have the same effect as raglan sleeves do. But, while not as flattering as on-shoulder seams, this style of shoulder seam isn't too bad.
The material is really soft, stretchy, and I can't feel the seams at all. The color that shows on my screen is different than the item looks in-person, which I find is a common problem with the Zella line. (Most other brands on Nordstrom's site and other online retailer sites do appear the same in-person as on my computer screen.) In-person the Purple Atrium has more of a pink/magenta to it than the purple name and image suggest.
I love that I can feel both feminine and sporty in the Zella clothing. It is nice to have a non-frumpy gym shirt!

Perfect except for one thing....
Love this top & over the years I have accumulated several (yes, they last forever!). It is super flattering, especially on my 64 year old body. I'm at the gym 5 x week in a small class & on my recommendation, a few of the other gals have also purchased the z-tee. However, for us active seniors, I think the top is a little too low-cut. This morning at the gym when I looked in the mirror, I wondered what our 30 year-old male trainer thought of all of us older ladies swinging kettle bells showing way too-much cleavage. Zella designers...have you thought of a higher cut version -- please consider this!

Great Tee but....
I love this tee and have about six of them in my closet that I have purchased over the years. They are my go to tees for workout and weekend wear. My only issue is that each year when I go to purchase more, I always have to try on because they keep changing the way the sizes run. I swear it isn't my own body fluctuating in size, but how tight or long they decide to make them for that season. Wish that I could count on always purchasing my standard size L but that hasn't been the case over the years. For my latest purchase in 4/2015, I needed the XL.

Great Active Tee
I love Zella and literally live in their Live In Capris and Leggings. I guess I haven't bought a tee in a while. I think my last one was a Z3. I bought the green and it's a great bright green without being obnoxious. This top is fitted without being a sausage casing. It's really flattering on my non six pack slightly squishy middle. I like that the Z5 no longer has a brand stamp on the front hip so it makes it more versatile. The Zella bar is on the back now. I hate that so many other athletic apparel companies put a big old logo on your chest. I think it just makes you look sloppy. Great tee. I'm 5'6" 145 and got the M. I find it TTS.

Good Workout Tee
Well, I debated on whether or not to send this top back, but I'm keeping it as a "nice" workout top (as opposed to my old, wrinkly tee shirts). I'm a size 18 and ordered the 2X and it is snug. The sleeves are a bit short too (I thought they would completely cover the tops of my arms). It DOES have a nice silhouette and the shade of purple is lovely.
