When Life Gives You A Lemon... Make Your Own Sexy Tee!

So it runs small and the logo isn't pristine. So what? Its super soft comfiness I really couldn't let go, so I modified it. I cut the collar to create a boatneck, cropped the sleeves, and wore it backwards so the too-low logo was on the back. Dressing this up with a scarf, necklace or broach is cute and easy. A spaghetti tank underneath completes the look, and voila! A respectable, conservative, did-it-myself super comfy EF tee. Everyone will ask you about it!

extremely useful review


Despite what some may say, for the Eden-loving little hipster, this t-shirt is pretty perfect. It is the softest t-shirt I've ever owned and that is oh-so-appealing. The small I ordered fits my slim frame like a glove, just how I like it. A form-fitted tee is sexy when it's showing off your figure.
If you like your tops looser, I recommend ordering a size up.
However, when I ordered at 3X for kicks and giggles as a free gift, just as a soft tee to sleep in, I was surprised. The black cotton used in the 3X was a different material than the small tee. It was thinner, stretchier, and even softer. I'm still pretty puzzled about this little mystery. I don't mind it though, as the shirt I bought for sleeping in is even softer than I anticipated.

The 6-color screenprinted logo is vibrant in color and applaudably conservative for a sex shop. It's a pretty awesome way to subtley strike up conversation about your favorite online retailer. However, if you're a perfectionist or one who likes their clothes pristine, skip this shirt for the next round of higher quality EF shirts. For me, I like to wear my clothes out (the way a three year old would do). I love it when clothes show their wear, have a little personality, and this shirt I can tell will do just that over time. When the tee arrived, the logo's paint allowed the black cotton to show through in a few small spots, and the 'M' was cracking at its edge. I'm really into decay of any sort, so this just added a little extra appeal to the shirt for me. I'm sure with the war of the washer the logo will probably continue to degrade. But with as soft as it is, this can really become your favorite well-worn comfy tee.


It's like holy jeans, stone washed duds and t-shirts bought already cut up. This shirt comes ready made with a bit of wear and tear, but not much.


At 100% pre-shrunk cotton, you can wash your EF schwag when it gets schtinky and schweaty with dark colors, and don't be shy about throwing it in the dryer for shrinking fears. The logo might not be able to take it, so if you're not into the rugged look like me, put it on a hanger and let it dry in your closet. That's my lazy-girl's airdrying method, and it works pretty well.

The sleeves hit me just mid-forearm, so while it's fitted, this is no baby-tee. The neck is on the smaller side, but it's not going to choke you. If you like your necks looser, I'll get to t-shirt modification in a moment.

The design would've been better executed if printed higher on the front of the shirt. The logo sits pretty low on my chest, and my A-cup super-perky tits appear to sag in this undesirable optical illusion. Solution? If you're a do-it-yourself, artsy, hipster type (yeah, I said that dirty word), fear not, and read on. There's potential in this t-shirt yet!


Experience
With a bit of creativity and a tweak of the 'perfectionist' attitude, you can turn this t-shirt into a treasure with your own two hands. With a good pair of scissors and a sturdy pair o' ovaries (or balls), lay your t-shirt on a flat surface, face down. Eyeball the neck and envision it as an open boat neck (we're being 'artistic,' not 'perfectionist' in this example, remember?). Cut a smooth wide arc from about 3 inches above the sleeve seam on the right side to about an inch below the neck and finish symmetrically (more or less) on the other side. You've got a sexy, shoulder-revealing fashionable tee! And your neck can breathe. Wear a spaghetti strap tank underneath for a layered look that accents your sexy shoulders even more. You can also cut the neck into a V neck, and go as low as you dare to for a cleavage-baring extravaganza.

Now that you've gotten rid of the collar, the tag is gone too, as is the concept of 'front' and 'back.' Perfect. This t-shirt is putty in our hands! Flip that thing around backwards and voila! Your tits no longer look saggy. The logo is on the back of the shirt. This is probably safer for it anyhow, as with my habit of 'picking' at things, I for one would likely send it to its grave before its time if it were in my reach.
You can dress up the plain boat neck front with a broach, a scarf, a large necklace, or sew on a patch. The possibilities are endless.

With those same sharp scissors and your gutsy gumption, slice through the soft cotton just above and parallel to the stitching on the sleeves. This allows them to roll up free on their own. Cut an inch or so higher to reveal more skin. This is handy if you've got a hot shoulder tattoo that rarely gets seen, like me. It's a subtle way of showing it off.

You can apply the same lop job to the waist seam if it falls below your comfort zone, or if you want an 80's style crop top. Getting rid of the machine-stitching creates a really different finished look that I totally dig.

Paired with jeans or leggings and a cute skirt, I will totally rock this look all over town. I'm so glad to finally have a way to show my EF pride without jumping straight into the 'have you ever used a vibrator?' bit. Because sometimes, that's a little awkward.
Follow-up commentary
The 3X I ordered is still my favorite sleep shirt, and the small size I modified still gets some giggly responses from me when curious friends ask what the heck EdenFantasys is. I still definitely recommend this if you're looking for some cute, soft EF schwag.
