The person who said it's paper thin, I'm not sure how thick does that person expects a t-shirt for kids to be. It's good enough material, not paper thin, good enough, pretty soft. Light blue is not as light/bright like the photo but still light, pink is the same. I bought pink and blue/turquois. I'm a lady 5ft3, 100lbs and bought 13Y because it works for me, small person.
