When you find something that bothers you it is best to not buy it, as you did.<br /> Now you gave me something more to be discerning about when I shop :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662745 Tue, 17 May 2016 14:00:42 +0000 Chris987 1662745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the replies, ladies. </p> <p></p> <p>Lisa yes it occurred to me that it could be an irregular and that's why it was as TJMaxx. They used to have the word "irregular" on their price tags but I've noticed they don't seem to do it anymore. Certainly could be the explanation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662728 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:38:25 +0000 Muffin 1662728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really picky about things like this- especially on expensive t-shirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662724 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:36:53 +0000 Anonymous 1662724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this drive me crazy too. The t shirt was cut out of the fabric that didn't have the grain trued on it. You'd definitely get a twisty top after first wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662719 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:29:36 +0000 Sara L. 1662719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It drives me crazy when t-shirts twist so I think you were right to leave it.&nbsp; Plus, once you see a design flaw, you can't unsee it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662718 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:29:11 +0000 Gail 1662718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass, twisty T shirts drive me crazy as do patterns that don't &nbsp;line up.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662713 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:22:51 +0000 Anonymous 1662713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That might be why it was in TJMaxx to begin with? &nbsp;But yes, I'd pass too - first wash and I bet it twists. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662707 Tue, 17 May 2016 13:15:50 +0000 shedev 1662707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were right to pass on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662676 Tue, 17 May 2016 12:32:33 +0000 Suz 1662676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not being too picky. If it bothers you, then it's not the right top!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662673 Tue, 17 May 2016 12:28:39 +0000 Colette 1662673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not think you are being too picky, I notice things like this on everything. And whether or not it is an intentional design detail, if I don't like it, or find it odd I just pass. Happens at all price points. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662668 Tue, 17 May 2016 12:23:44 +0000 Janet 1662668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I'm with you! I saw this over the weekend when I looked at some tees in Madewell, and it disappointed me. Whenever I've bought one of these bias tees, they twist after they're washed and it drives me nuts. Whenever I see one of those in the store now, I leave it behind, even if everything else about it appeals to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662667 Tue, 17 May 2016 12:22:14 +0000 RobinF 1662667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had that happen particularly with cheap t-shirts from Target. I guess it doesn't bother me because I haven't paid a lot but it would in one that was supposed to be high quality. I had one from TJ Maxx that wasn't noticeable until after washing and I couldn't wear it at all because it pulled so bad. You were probably right to pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-picky-about-tshirt-fabric-layout#post-1662661 Tue, 17 May 2016 12:15:40 +0000 Chris987 1662661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on this top yesterday. I liked the fit and the shape and was hemming and hawing over the color on me when I noticed something that did not seem quite right.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;The "stripe" effect, which was not really stripes but more of a texture, was not truly horizontal, but at more of an angle even more than shown in the picture.&nbsp; The back of the top was fine, it was the front that was off. This&nbsp;seemed to me an indication of less-than-careful&nbsp; cutting of the pattern pieces&nbsp;on the&nbsp;fabric, and I suspect it could lead to that dreaded twisting of the side seams after the first washing.&nbsp;I knew it would drive me crazy every time I put it on so I passed.</p> <p>I see this sort of thing often in tshirts, although I was surprised to see it in a brand like Vince. </p> <p>What do you all think? Am I being too picky? Do you notice things like this on lightweight Ts? </p>
