"It's a lovely shirt, but I really really wish I had heeded advice in the reviews and sized up. It's just a little too snug for me to want to wear it without something over it. It's also a final sale so I can't exchange it. My fault, but be warned! The v neck is also very deep, which I like, but some may find it a little too dramatic. I'm going to make it work, but definitely think consider the sizing carefully."
"I really liked this shirt but it was a lot thicker than I expected it to be. I was hoping for a thinner fabric like the old foundation shirts but this is much thicker. Because it’s thicker, it does hold shape better. As a person who hates a babydoll style sleeve, I adore this very long sleeve while it’s still a short sleeve tee. The color is true to the listing. I sized up for a more comfortable fit. I typically wear a US size M but I got this in a size L. Because of the ribbed fabric, a M would have also worked great."
"Very nice quality top. I love the color. The fit is true to size and very flattering. I can really tell it's a high quality shirt. It's a perfect basic top."
"I like the shirt but would have sized up if I realized how clingy it was. I think I'll be OK but need to be mindful about what I wear it with - belted jeans looked awful bumping out through the fabric."
"Great quality, color and length are spot on for me (5'9"). I went up 1 size to accommodate my athletic arms and it was a good decision, the rib helps it not to bag out in the waist. One thing I would love is for the tag (scratchy) to not be serged together with the side seam, as it is harder to take out."
"The shirt is high quality, fits beautifully, and looks great. Will definitely buy another."
"Didn't realize I had ordered another ribbed fabric top when I ordered this one. I really like the top, the stripes are fun, but the ribbed fabric is not my favorite from Universal Standard. It is a bit heavy for this top. It fits true to size. The sleeves are as described."
"I bought the vibrant jewel tone yellow. The fit was close to the body, big not clingy. I love the weight of the fabric, not thin, but not too heavy for the Texas summer. Provides a business casual drape that you can wear with slacks."
"The fabric is high quality and substantial - the collar lies flat and is flattering. Color and size as expected! Purchased a size up for an oversized fit - which I always find easy to do with U. S. Very pleased with this top."
"Nice thick ribbed tee. Perfect fit."
