I got a Spetite in white and navy. &nbsp;they're absolutely perfect fit, but i haven't washed them yet. &nbsp;i'll keep y'all posted. (also got them on crazy sale $14 each, or i wouldn't have bought them) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1493274 Tue, 19 May 2015 00:19:45 +0000 christina 1493274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had tremendous luck with Eileen Fisher linen tees. &nbsp;She makes a variety of shapes each season - some very slouchy - some more fitted. &nbsp;They wash and wear very well - regular cycle, hang dry. &nbsp;I have not had luck with less expensive brands. &nbsp;Although they are pricey - I feel the quality is superior and worth the extra expense. &nbsp;I look for end of the season sales and stock up but will pay full price for white and blue (my favorite colors). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1493256 Mon, 18 May 2015 22:18:15 +0000 kellygirl 1493256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@marit: I wouldn't bother with the Madewell if you need length. The banana republic linen tees are better--good length and nice v-neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1493248 Mon, 18 May 2015 21:58:29 +0000 Marit K 1493248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still looking for my perfect linen t. This might be an option so I am happy to see the review.&nbsp; I need a long length since I am tall and a deep v neck, a flowy fit to cover my tummy but fitted on my smaller shoulders. I tried Lou and Grey's linen tshirts at LOFT last week but the crew neck did nothing for me and the length was too short. I am wondering if I just need to look for linen tunics to get the length right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1493138 Mon, 18 May 2015 14:59:49 +0000 kellygirl 1493138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another one who washed the Madewell in a lingerie bag and let it air dry. It came out fine although seems to have shrunk a bit in length. It's still fine though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1493101 Mon, 18 May 2015 13:54:16 +0000 Anonymous 1493101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad to hear that. &nbsp;I may buy the red one and wash it in a lingerie bag. &nbsp;I really did like the shirt a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1493084 Mon, 18 May 2015 12:18:24 +0000 dakotacheryl 1493084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am updating on my Madewell linen T's.</p> <p>I have successfully washed them in lingerie bags in the washer on my delicate cycle. Then I hang to dry on hangers.&nbsp;</p> <p>So far, the T's have held up beautifully, and I am loving them.</p> <p>HTH </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1476454 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 11:18:10 +0000 Anonymous 1476454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you <b>Dakotacheryl</b>. &nbsp;This is a great tee shirt. &nbsp;But to fall apart in one single washing is a bad sign. &nbsp;I am returning all three of the them (red, white, and grey) because I don't trust that it was a fluke. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have had really bad luck with tee shirts separating along the seams (Banana Republic and now Madewell). &nbsp;I stopped buying from Banana Republic because I don't have the time to deal with poor quality. &nbsp;I guess I bought my last items from Madewell too. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1476356 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 02:23:30 +0000 dakotacheryl 1476356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAAK!!!!...Sterling...I haven't washed any of mine yet. I'm hoping your poor performance was a fluke as I love the cut, style and feel of the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1476295 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 23:34:45 +0000 kellygirl 1476295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sterling, that is disappointing. Kind of ironic since they are "Made well." Perhaps I will return mine as well. Even on sale, it's pricey for a tee shirt. Hope they stand by their product! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1476240 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 22:20:18 +0000 Carole 1476240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>happy dance, love when that happens! I might need to check them out, too, linen tees sound like a step up in the right direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1476239 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 22:17:30 +0000 Peri 1476239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes, sorry to hear that on two levels! I just posted about getting mine and liking it. Thanks for the heads up, I will wash on delicate because I really want to keep it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1476234 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 22:10:40 +0000 Anonymous 1476234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is to let people know that I washed my tee shirt for the first time and the fabric split apart at the neckline. &nbsp;The split is about 1.5 inches. &nbsp;Obviously the tee shirt is very poorly made. &nbsp;I will be returning mine tomorrow. &nbsp;I don't recommend them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1475387 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 14:00:18 +0000 Anonymous 1475387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My style revolved around work and work capsules. &nbsp;It is conservative with lots of dress slacks, skirts, and button down silk blouses. &nbsp;I was really happy with it, but in 2014, I started to introduce a certain softness to my work capsule. &nbsp;I still wear dress slacks and skirts, but I might pair them with sweaters, cardigans, and now hopefully, linen tee shirts. &nbsp;</p> <p>In the past, all of my time and money went toward developing my work capsule. &nbsp;This meant that other capsules suffered. &nbsp;Recently, I have devoted a great deal of time toward developing the capsules that previously were nonexistent or lagged behind (casual, lounging, athletic). &nbsp;I am really satisfied with them today. &nbsp;The greatest <b></b>relief<b> </b>came from giving myself <b>permission</b> to buy nice clothes that I couldn't wear to work. &nbsp;For the first time in my life, I have a casual capsule that I love. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1475362 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:49:40 +0000 Olivegreen 1475362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the heads up. Now I have a reason to head for the mall. This might lure me away from wovens and buttons. That red is something have been looking at that is not in my closet.<br /> Where is your style going, if I have missed that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1475354 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:29:20 +0000 Anonymous 1475354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the style of these tee shirts is going to make them really versatile in my wardrobe. &nbsp;And did I mention light and airy? &nbsp;I am recommending them to all my friends now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-tee-shirts-1#post-1475342 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:10:51 +0000 Joyce B 1475342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great that they worked for you.

They feel light and airy on my body. &nbsp;Their length is perfect too. &nbsp;Shorter than normal tee shirts, but the length suits me better.</p> <p>I may have found the perfect top for Summer. &nbsp;I think I can wear it to work on casual days and I certainly can wear it for casual weekend wear. &nbsp; </p>
