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

[CHOOGIRL]

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.

I can live without a £44 t-shirt

I cant live without food (not for long anyway, i would die) silly comparison

Ali that is gorgeous but I fear that it would make me look like a fat shepherd in ds's school nativity even with my face on.

Ali, it is lovely - happy, cosy bfing to you and your little one!

A t-shirt that costs £50 and wears well, fits well and feels wonderful is well worth it IMO. You'll wear it endlessly, unlike the 5x£5 ones that you'll buy (one in each colour!! because they're so cheap, so why not!!) from elsewhere and then use as dishcloths at the end of their short and miserable wardrobe life.

Ditto jeans. And any other basic.

A dress that costs you £100 and that you wear once or twice to a wedding, on the other hand.....

I think Ill stick with a tenner on a tshirt and £40 worth of food

I prefer eating to going hungry

Meg - it honestly wouldn't. I am a size 18 and I was a little worried but it's so skimming . There is a 25% discount code floating around somewhere - bargin!

Neither of the t-shirts being discussed on this thread would suit me at all, I would look all blobby.

ah, but Laura - if you go hungry, your expensive clothes hang better!

Hmmmm rethinks the no food in larder and hot Shepherd fashion.

Hmmmmmm.

Lol at Shepherd fashion

You clearly have money to burn

I have never been silly enough to waste good money on expensive clothes - Im not about to start now

£50 on a coat - yes
on a t shirt - never

Now this t-shirt is expensive. Is that why it only goes up to size 10?

and dry clean only

must be!! no calories to burn in the life of the woman who wears that one .. no money for groceries!

"I have never been silly enough to waste good money on expensive clothes"

silly

Judgy or what. Sheesh.

you know i'm all for investment pieces (barf) but FARKING HELL ARE YOU MENTAL SPENDING THAT ON SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS FROM THE MATERNITY SECTION OF MOTHERCARE!!@!!

eugh looks maternity and grannyish.i'll pass

Letthem - Im not being judgy Im being realistic

It isnt realistic for me to spend £50 on a tshirt - I need to eat

And that particular t shirt is a billowy tent

I think you wasted your money sorry

vive la différence

I shall be wearing mine tomorrow on the pre-school run. With these I may be looking slightly faint as I will have skipped breakfast (had no money left when I got to the till)

Looks very unflattering to me - even on the model.

Want the tee-shirt, is lovely, want the cardi, oh god, do I want the cardi, thanks to your last link I now also want Nudie jeans which I didn't even know existed 90 seconds ago.

I hate mumsnet.

choogirl help me please. What shoes will you be wearing with you jeans & lovely t shirt?

Hi MM - I dusted off my Uggs this morning - but if the sun comes out later will be wearing ballet flats. Not very original I know

Those 7FAM jeans, I tried some on and I looked disgusting they are for very skinny people, I looked like ummm......I'm not sure, just not right. Not quite shepherdy but wrong, mind you they were brown.

god, Choogirl, you are such a bad influence!

Haven't even had the baby yet and you've got me lusting after jeans ... want ... new ... jeeeeeeeeeeeeeans

I should probably wait, right?

Choogirl - I like these - can you tell me what American Vintage sizes are like?

i tell you all
the marks perfect one is the dog nuts

Hi sizing is true to size I guess. I am a 12 and wearing a medium. Fits perfectly - not at all maternity tentish
