I purchased this top after buying and loving a pair of ExOfficio Savvy capri pants a few months ago. I knew I liked the fabric and thought it would work equally well for a top.
The fabric is puckered, like seersucker, but in a modern blend. This isn't marketed as "quick dry" for travel, but it launders pretty well and is light enough in weight to air dry in a moderate amount of time or machine dry quickly.
I bought this top a size up from my measurements because ExOfficio often cuts pieces narrower through the hips, and I need extra room there. Because the top is cut with shape (narrower at the waist with subtle elasticized smocking in an ~3-inch band), it still lends a lady-like appearance, but the extra room at the neck/shoulders on me makes it appear more casual than it might if more closely fitted. (I.e., I could be wearing a bathing suit cover-up as opposed to a proper blouse.)
The white is translucent. I am fairly modest in my dress, mainly with regards to covering my arms and torso, but I do not find this top too sheer. The neckline is a slightly open vee, which does display a bit of skin. This is definitely tunic-length on me, and I could easily and comfortably wear this with leggings, but I am short (5' 3.5") and I did go up a size.
My biggest complaint is that I hoped for a secret pocket like my ExOfficio Savvy pants have hidden under the waistband. One of the primary reasons I purchase travel-specific clothing is to get those small, preferably-secure (zip/velcro) hidden pockets. I expected to find one in the side seam, but there is no pocket on this. I'm considering sewing in a tiny big of velcro to create my own pocket, however, as the crossover bodice does have a double-layer of fabric and it is open (like a sideways triangle) on the inside. If I make it secure, I could easily hide something thin/flexible in there!

My wife loves this shirt. We both have bought lots of clothes made by ExOfficio and we love the quality and workmanship. This shirt is perfect for when she needs something to through over a swimsuit or to just relax in on the beach.
