Have a few questions about Skinny tees

proofer — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:49:00 GMT

First are they good to use in place of a cami under low cut tops. Also being chubby size 14-16 should I get the plus size in the Tsv. Think they are cute on the skinny models but wondering how they would be on me, since my problem is in my stomach area.

I am the same size and could not wear them because they were very tight in the stomach area.. could get away with it being under a jacket, but could never wear it alone or pulled down the way they do

First question: Yes. You'd only see the "v" in the front, where the blouse was open. Sometimes it is nice to put a shot of color there, plus it will cover you up.

Don't know about the 2nd question - have not seen any pics or measurements yet.

These aren't made to wear alone, so the tightness shouldn't be a problem. I pull up the neckline where I want it, and stretch the bottom where I want it, and this top does not move. Love these. But, not purchasing the TSV with bling.

I am petite, but on me they kept riding up. They say they stay wherever you put them but that wasn't the case for me. I returned mine.

I too have excess tummy and I completely understand your problem but with such figure I never prefer to choose skinny tight tees or dresses. While choosing any dress my first priority is comfort. I always use to shop for tees from wildfox and buy casual tees that will not make me look odd due to excess tummy.

The models never have a stomach so they always look great.

I was wondering why the heck the TSV skinny tees put the sparkles around the tummy area. I think they would have been much nicer around the top neck area. That's where you want people to look....at your face NOT your tummy...at least I do. Don't need to draw attention there!

I like them. Like most women my age, (mid 50s), I have extra tummy. These aren't quite the level of a body shaper, but they do smooth things down. They are meant as a layering piece, not to be worn by themselves. I have several colors, but will not be purchasing the TSV because of the sparkles.

I don't need bling on my stomach. It would not be a pretty picture.

Are they already selling their spring/summer line on Q

because that TSV looks like it should be worn when

it is 90 degrees outside....not 9?

I would not wear them. I don't do leggings either. I better fit is much more flattering and than skin tight even on people who are slim.

I have the skinny tees and they roll up on me. I have to keep pulling the tank down. The scoop front is low on me too and does not provide as much coverage as I would like.

They are SO HOT. The nylon fabric is like wearing a pair of stockings on your torso. I bought them last year, and wore one of the pair- one time! I should have returned them...they fit fine, but I couldn't get the thing off my skin fast enough. I swear it raised my body temperature 10 degrees. It really was like wearing a plastic bag.

A cotton ribbed tank looks nicer, and feels divine. Old Navy has them for like $5. Would not recommend Skinny tee's.

OP, I take a small or medium in QVC clothing and the OS fit fine-just felt like a stocking.

I have two sets, but prefer Target brand tanks.

They cling to every lump and bump...my Target cotton blends are more attractive (on me, at least!)

How does Leah figure they are $11 plus change each?

I see no use for these unless you are stick thin with no stomach. Who wants to call attention to that.

If you noticed on the models last night, they were very thin and clingy, and pants buttons, waistbands, etc. clearly showed through. They were also so snug and stretchy that they pulled up in front at the hem and were rumply in several cases. When they showed the skinnytee on larger model Jacque, they hid the tee under a bulky sweater! What does that tell us?

It was a cute concept, but I wasn't impressed with the fabric or fit.
