The white tee ...

kerry

Which one would you choose? I'm looking for drapey and casual. I'd wear it with everything. Must work without topper. I'm busty, short and need something forgiving in the middle!

I would buy the first Everlane. The second one looks like a man't undershirt...common pitfall for a white T. The first one is more dressy looking.

I think picture 2. It seems to have a little more room in the middle. The neckline on the first may be too deep for 'busty', but you won't know until you try. And sometimes u-necks are more flattering than boat-necks.In any event it seems more close-fitting than the other - unless you can size up to get more middle room without sacrificing the fit of the shoulders and bustline.

Oh, and if you buy it, please let us know how it falls on the see-through scale! I would love a great white T.

I'm going to suggest ordering both, and returning your least fav. I think the u neck could be great, but it would really depend on where the u hits. I have the v neck from last year, and one me, the v is just at the spot, a smidge lower, and it would go into the non work appropriate zone.
Also you may want to try the gap.

kkards, I've got that Gap tee. It's great!

Tracey's, I agree with the critical dip of the v-neck. Being busty means I need to be very careful! Even the bra I wear with certain necklines can change the appropriateness!

Peri, I will definitely share on the see-through front. I love thinner fabrics for the coolness and drape but the trade off in the lighter colours is transparency. Is the only solution to wear darker colours?

I actually like all four but am leaning towards Everlane because they are cheaper. I don't like to spend lots on a white tee because they only last a season +. But I also want to spend if it's going to make a difference. A great white tee would be a workhorse for me and I'd definitely duplicate!

Kerry, I have the v-neck Everlane and it IS quite nice for us busty gals. It does still have some transparency however, but I haven't found anything other than a 100% cotton Hanes Beefy T that doesn't!

dashielle, can you share some sizing wisdom with the Everlane tees? I'm afraid I might be sized out of the v-neck. I'm usually a size 10. I want the tee to be somewhat slouchy.

So, turns out that, although I ordered the Everlane, I accidentally ordered it in XS and had also ordered two types of tees from Asos, which I ended up keeping because they worked. I would be interested to try one when I need more, since they are $10 less than Asos.

It looks like you can contact the company with questions. I would put it to them as to the thickness/transparency of the tee and how deep the neckline is for your size.

I just ordered the Everlane u-neck. I decided to try cheaper first. Nordies is hard for those of us in Canada because there are so many landed costs heaped on - often 30% or more. I decided not to try the Everlane vee because their sizing is quite tiny (only go up to size 8-10 - their large) and I wanted a slouchy tee.

Thanks for your help and I'll report back.

Look forward to hearing how you go. I would select something with a v neck. As a large busted girl I share your tshirt woes.
