"Borderline tee" and "grown-on sleeves" are now a part of my vocabulary!</p> <p>Angie, these are the tees that occasionally pull across my chest, because they are made of stretchy fabric.&nbsp;If I stand perfectly still in front of the mirror and pull the slash neck straight, there are no boob lines. But of course as soon as I move,&nbsp;the neck doesn't stay in a straight line across my chest. It&nbsp;relaxes into a nice folded v-shape and the sleeves slide up a little, exposing more shoulder. It's a flattering effect -- EXCEPT the bust then pulls a little. If I wear it a size up, it's loose enough that it doesn't pull, but it doesn't look right. It's not the kind of top that looks good if you're swimming in it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I keep buying these anyway because they are the perfect (borderline) tee shirt for a rectangle -- they make me look like I have a waist! And they are very comfy. And can be dressed up or down.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223836 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:24:48 +0000 Angie 1223836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Diana said, and it's a&nbsp;<i>borderline</i> tee. As a fashion buyer writing an order for the style, I'd have described it as a&nbsp;fitted knitted jersey top with grown on sleeves and slash neck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223832 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:22:48 +0000 Thistle 1223832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of it as a knit top versus a tee. More refined than a tee in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223828 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:17:20 +0000 lyn67 1223828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diagonal short sleeved/wide shouldered&nbsp;jersey/knit top would be more accurate to me. I love these, too. Much more dressier than a simple tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223826 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:15:27 +0000 Diana 1223826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie calls these "grown on sleeves" I think.&nbsp; I like them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223825 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:14:11 +0000 rachylou 1223825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of those as jersey/knit tops. They're not proper tees to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223815 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:00:06 +0000 Vildy 1223815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how 'bout an extended shoulder sleeveless tee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-do-we-call-this-a-tee-shirt#post-1223802 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:40:30 +0000 Aziraphale 1223802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie and everyone,</p> <p>Just a quick question. Would you call this style of top a tee shirt? I have quite a few of them, and that's what I've been calling them, for lack of a better term. They don't have the typical tee shirt shape. Also, do you call these cap sleeves, or is the top&nbsp;sleeveless? There are no actual sleeves sewn on, but they cover the top of my shoulder. </p>
