So if you're looking for the perfect t-shirt I'd recommend this one

here It's not cheap I know, but the fabric is so soft. It is long in the body so I can bend over in jeans without revealing ar** and it skims the waist so no muffin top issues.

Ggirl I've been considering getting a few of those AA ones. Do they wash well? Thank you.

yes they do but i don't tumble dry them

I have numerous colours ,they are quite big so best to read the reviews to get the size right

£48 for a t shirt that looks a bit like a maternity tent

No thanks!

Choo has it kept it's shape and did it bobble? I find the pricier they are the quicker they bobble

Has kept shape and not bobbled. The tshirt top is made of a really soft cotton fabric - not like normal t-shirt material so I have a feeling it will last for years.

Nice top

"American Vintage... is quickly gathering notoriety in the UK..."

Notoriety? What? Have their designers been keying cars and upsetting the neighbours with their noisy parties?

Septimus

LTEC - why the sigh? I won't balk at buying cashmere to BF in (after your cardicoat thread the other day I ordered a lovely one from Pure!), but I refuse to spend 50 quid on a t-shirt.

Oh FFS - I went to Tesco Express the other day purchased a couple of bits and didn't have much change from £50. Food has all gone now - whereas the t-shirt which cost £44 with my mumsnet discount is still giving me pleasure. Has no-one heard of fashion maths???

Lovely to hear about the cashmere BFing cardi though, can you link?

Choogirl of course
A tenner for a t shirt and you have £40 change for food
£48 for a t shirt and you only have £2 left for food

As I said before £48 for a tshirt is ridiculous however long it lasts (especially if it billows like a maternity shirt)
I have loads of clothes I have owned and loved for years and rarely spend more than £20 on any one item
Never more than £15 on a t shirt

this in the mink

It is delicious, hangs very nicely without the belt too.

The AV one is the better of the two imo - the AA one looks positively manly with that butch v and baggy shape.

The AV one flares out too much for me but I suppose it would suit someone with boobs and skinny hips.
