Sun / Spf shirt

Help

Hey there, I am making a sun shirt with spf fabric for a friend. She will mainly use it for paddling and another for just being outside. I’m wondering if anyone has made something similar and has any pattern recommendations.

I was thinking maybe a raglan sleeve +/- a hood, a curved hem so it doesn’t slide up her back when sitting/paddling.

I made one out of Polyamid 6.6, UV50+ in 120 g/m2 and I used the Sven pattern, quite tight-fitting, as the fabric is very elastic. Instead of a hood I made a separate sun cap from the leftover small pieces of fabric. The Sven needs less fabric than a raglan design, I think (if that matters).
