Long Sleeve tops that don't twist

5 replies

I have just done the ironing and chucked out almost every long sleeved t-shirt type top because the arms have twisted. What am I doing wrong? is there a brand that this doesn't happen to? Any help would be appreciated.

Isabella Oliver stuff washes brilliantly. The sleeves on their T shirts are lovely and long and never twist or shrink!! They are ££ but I bought two last year and have got them out again this year and they are as good as new!

Dry them flat on a radiator or hang out with pegs at armpits where the seams meet.

I've never ironed a top made if t-shirt material and never had one twist at the arms. Perhaps it's the ironing that is problem?

you buy cheap ones thats why

SeeLyon - the tops I chucked out averaged about £30 each which I don't think is cheap for a t-shirt.

Thanks for the tips nightsky. Perhaps part of the reason is that DH (bless him) won't leave the laundry alone and just bungs it on an airer making it more creased and harder to iron (for me).

Topsi, I'll take a look at Isabella Oliver. I'd forgotten they don't just do maternity-wear.
