Super cute shirt, too bad it doesn't run true to size.
If you are like me and want to share the Eden Fantasys love, be sure to order this shirt at least 2 sizes too big.Published: August 23, 2011
Pros:
Cute, bright graphics.
Cons:
Runs WAY small
Now, one can't complain too loudly about a free gift, right? I was so excited to get an Eden Fantasys t-shirt to wear and proclaim my LOVE of Eden Fantasys. I was so sad when my shirt got here and even though I purposely purchased it too big, it was almost to tight to even pull on! I for sure will not be wearing it in public, as it is so tight over my chest I can barely breathe. The sleeves are also very tight. To me it seems like my 2XL fit like a tight L.
Now the shirt itself is very nice looking. The graphics are super bright and well printed. The fabric is nice, and not thin or cheap feeling.
All in all this shirt is very nice, it doesn't give the wearer super powers, but it would successfully cover their naked upper torso in order to allow them to pass through public situations or into eating establishments that require one to wear a shirt or shoes to enter. This shirt will not change your life, but it will protect your delicate chest area from the damaging rays of the sun. The shirt, if removed from the upper body, can also be used as a hat, just by wrapping it carefully around the top of your head. Also, if wet, it can be used to wipe things, put out very small fires or cool one in the heat of the sun. In extreme situations it also can be used as night wear for a very small person, or with the proper application of safety pins, it can be used as an emergency diaper for those small non-potty trained persons. The best part of all is that even if it has been used in any of the above mentioned situations, it can be washed and used AGAIN! As it is made from cotton, it is both versatile and reusable.
My whole point in writing this review was to warn people that the shirts run small. So if you take one thing away from having read this review, please, order larger, as the shirts run terribly small.

#AskEden - EF Shirt Sizes
-
I normally wear a medium or a large. I ordered this shirt in XL so that I could wear it lounging and for sleep. Its so small though. It came about a medium or a small. Im afraid to wash it and see it shrink
-
I have three of these - one large, and two XL. The large was a bit snug, but the XL are fine, and have held up to repeated washings well.
-
There were actually a couple different types of EF shirts. The XL and larger shirts were sized a little smaller than expected, but the L and smaller shirts were right on with their sizes.
There were quite a few forum posts on this.

Material?
-
Why does it seem like I received one shirt made out of a thinner and softer material than the other shirts I received? Has anyone else experienced this?

Quote: Why does it seem like I received one shirt made out of a thinner and softer material than the other shirts I received? Has anyone else experienced this?I have three of these now (all in the same size). Each one is a different material! The first was very thin, stretchy, and really a great shirt since it is sized so small. The second was a very thick material with no stretch to it at all! I cannot even get that one on, even though it should fit exactly like the first one I received. The third shirt is wearable, but again is thicker material than the first, at least this one has a bit more stretch to it than the second one!
I would wager a guess that they are ordering these made up using the "most cost effective" material available, which would account for the varied material (which ever one is cheaper to make that day).
I know that I was happy with the first one, so I ordered more to "modify" some of them as I had seen in a video here. As it stands now...I have one to hide in the closet, one to tuck away for "emergency t-shirt needs", and one I can actually wear and enjoy.
So long as they are offering these free with purchase, I may get a few more (they'll make good rags if nothing else), but I wouldn't spend the $15 asking price on them with the materials being so varied from order to order! -
Good to know, and I hope the one I'll get in my next order will be a soft material.

They just came out so I don't think anyone has had a chance to wear them out yet.

Thank you for viewing EdenFantasys t-shirt – gags review page!
I think these run large! I ordered a L, then a M, then a S lol
I agree with Lauren, I think they run large too.
I got a 3X that fit like a Large.
FUNNY! I wonder if the regular sizes run large and the plus sizes run smaller? My 2X was a tight Large at best.
Good review, thanks!
It would have been more helpful to talk about the size you ordered in the review. Not just in your comments.
You are absolutely correct, Adriana, I added my sizing information to the review
Thanks for the review! Hope mine fits!
nice review
