Does this shirt actually block UV rays?

DSG lists UV protection as a feature of the fabric. It is a built-in fabric treatment, not a separate layer, so protection fades with heavy wear and washing over time.

What is the fabric like?

It is a jersey knit, the same soft, stretchy family as most cotton-blend tees. It feels light and comfortable but is not a technical performance mesh.

It is a standard girls' cut with a round neck and short sleeves. Sizes run XS to XL, so check the size chart against her chest measurement rather than age.

Can she wear it for sports practice?

Yes for low-intensity activity and outdoor play. It has no moisture-wicking or quick-dry treatment, so it is less suited to heavy sweat sessions than a performance top.

Is it only available in pink?

This version is solid pink. If you want other colors or graphics, you would need to look at other DSG girls' tees.

How should I wash it to keep the UV protection?

Wash cold and avoid harsh bleach or fabric softener, which can break down fabric treatments. Line drying helps the knit and the UV finish last longer.
