The Topic of T-Shirts

Is anybody out there like me and on the hunt for the perfect t-shirt?  I need a t-shirt to not be so thin that all my lumps and bumps show, to hit at just the right place in length and to not be tooo cap-sleevey, not too clingy but not too loose.  And what the hell with brown t-shirts getting all decolorized swirly when you wash them?  Is it so hard to buy a t-shirt and want to throw it in the washing machine and dry it and have it come out the same color it was before? You feel me?  I’ve bought tees from all these places and while I do end up wearing them, I haven’t found THE. BEST. T-SHIRT. EVER.  Have you?

    I bought one (why didn’t I buy 10?) t-shirt on sale at the Gap about a year ago and it is the best. I have to save it for ‘special’ occasions that require a t-shirt because I am afraid I will stain it or wash it too much. Funny how we all get about our t-shirts…

  2. @Valerie – I know! Me, too! And their basic crewneck is almost totally sold out this year in white right now. I swear if it comes back in stock I’m buying 10 of them.

  3. @Valerie @Pammer I wish their basic crewneck came in more colors…that’s one of my Gap complaints…

  4. The brand Petit Bateau has amazing t-shirts, but it’s one of those annoying only-found-in-boutiques or something sort of brand. I need to be able to easily locate good stuff! And not cheap, either. But I have a couple and the color holds beautifully and I swear they never shrink.

  5. @Christen man…if they were easy to find, I’d be all over that

  6. @Court: Merci beaucoup! Oh, and petit Bateau makes adorable baby stuff…if you know anyone expecting… 😉

  7. @Chris…I browsed that whole site and love the whole line! Thanks, I just so happen to know a certain bun in a certain oven.

  8. I am desperately seeking the perfect white v-neck. I am willing to pay more than I would for your basic target shirt to find one that is long enough but not too long, and NOT SEE THROUGH OMG. My bra is the same color as my skin, why can I see it though my shirt? I will be watching this post for ideas!

  9. I was looking through the links sending out to us and found this one. So glad I did! I co-manage TrendyChic and want to thank you for linking to us!

    We are one of Petit Bateau’s largest customers as we carry a good variety from the brand, including the great women’s tees. Because we are in mid-year, we are very, very low on stock. But we will be receiving the Fall in July/August!

    @Court @Christen We are priced lower than Petit Bateau. We also send out great e-mail promotions! Sometimes up to 30% off (including sale items!). We also have a coupon for those who subscribe to the mailing list.

    @brandi Petit Bateau has a v-neck in their line you may want to check out… http://www.trendychic.com/Petit_Bateau_White_Short_Sleeve_V_Neck_Tee_p/63217-01.htm

    Have a good weekend girls!

  10. PS: I’m loving this site. I’ve been following some other blogs but things are way too expensive on those. Love the posts here!
