Usually don't have any chaffing either unless the tanks too small . But then sometimes I'll size up and then alter the tank straps shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312702 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 00:19:09 +0000 deb 1312702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purged all of mine two years ago and have not missed them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312695 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 00:13:09 +0000 Karie 1312695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, no more ribbed tops for me either.

So so true Mo. They bug the heck out of me and now I know why. God knows I have enough tire on my own without that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312678 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 23:51:30 +0000 Anonymous 1312678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't think of any ribbed items in my entire wardrobe. &nbsp;I guess I don't like ribs, but wasn't aware of it until just now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312487 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:25:28 +0000 texstyle 1312487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm over ribbing too I think. I haven't worn any of my ribbed tanks this year or my ribbed Henley's last fall/winter. I wore them a lot at one time but I also think they are more body con than I'm wearing right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312480 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:16:21 +0000 April 1312480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh -- I hate&nbsp;the way even the finest ribbing (the sort you can't see unless you kind of pull at the fabric) on tee shirts creates an unflattering,&nbsp;drape at the bustline. &nbsp;This&nbsp;has made me completely swear off every kind of ribbing, even if the ribs are not easily&nbsp;visible. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think ribbing is only flattering if you have the sort of chest where going braless might be an option.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312467 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:51:39 +0000 columbine(erin) 1312467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple Eddie Bauer tanks for layering and they don't create the roll. But I've learned to avoid ribbing in turtle necks, cardigans, tees, etc. I am plenty curvy without extra ones being created in unflattering spots by the ribbing and rolling of the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312462 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:47:14 +0000 Mo 1312462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus, I must be getting sensitive, because it was irritating my underarm area too. &nbsp;Changed into one of my&nbsp;Pub uniform&nbsp;regular cotton&nbsp;tanks and feel instantly more comfortable.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312457 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:41:07 +0000 Janet 1312457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to abc. I saw a photo of myself in a ribbed turtleneck a long time ago (and I was even skinny then) and realized it just isn't a good look on me. Too much boobage, and IKWYM about the rolling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312441 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:26:33 +0000 abc 1312441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have hated ribbing for a LONG time. &nbsp;None in my closet and has been that way for a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312403 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:41:49 +0000 Diana 1312403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bleah. I do not like ribbing either on tanks/tees or sweaters. I totally know what you mean about the ribbing creating a spare tire/ fat rolls. </p> <p>My favorite camis are spaghetti strap but they are super thin t-shirt cotton, not spandex, and on the loose side. They are hard to find though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312394 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:35:45 +0000 cciele 1312394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I get what you mean Mo. And the reason I haven't experienced this is I typically faux tuck my tanks or ruch them up around the waist (since they are pretty long) -- so in effect, I am "pre-rolling" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312386 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:26:33 +0000 Mo 1312386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, it's like a spare tire, but made out of your shirt, not your fat lol. </p> <p>Rachy, I hear you on those spandex camis. &nbsp;I hate when the straps themselves are the elastic. &nbsp;They itch and scratch. &nbsp;The Kmart camis have cotton blend straps that are so much softer. &nbsp;But still spaghetti, but I've never had issue with thin straps, just itchy ones.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312376 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:19:26 +0000 cciele 1312376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting -- my favorite tanks are ribbed, and I believe one of them is a Vince one! I'm not sure that I've experienced this rolling phenomenon... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312365 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 18:04:26 +0000 rachylou 1312365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go back and forth on this, because I also hate the spaghetti-strap, spandex camisole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312332 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 17:37:47 +0000 rae 1312332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am down to one ribbed layering tank, but it is made of nylon by Michael Stars. I agree, most ribbed things don't do it for me anymore. Customers swear by the Vince ribbed tanks, but I have not been motivated to buy one to see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rejecting-ribbing#post-1312328 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 17:33:00 +0000 Mo 1312328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just lounging in a Mossimo long n lean ribbed tank and realized I am so over ribbing. &nbsp;I had some turtleneck sweaters that always seemed to bunch up into little rolls due to the ribbing and tossed them over a year ago. &nbsp;Now even the baby ribbing of the layer tee bugs me. &nbsp;It's that rolling thing it does. &nbsp;Anyone else just DONE with ribbed tops? &nbsp;(I guess I got my $3 out of the tanks and can use them to sleep in now)&nbsp; </p>
