Fabulous!!!
I think this is a great addition to the Eden swag collection and I look forward to seeing what else those marketing geniuses come up with!Published: August 17, 2011
Pros:
Love the Design, Love the Fabric
Cons:
See-through
I was just as excited as everyone else to find out Eden had not only produced a t-shirt, but was also offering it for a limited time as a free gift with purchase. Reading the forums, I learned the shirts ran small.
I ordered a medium instead of getting a small, like I usually would. I think it's a true-to-size fit, it's a little larger than my favorite t-shirt that is a size small. The sleeves hit right at my elbows and it's a little loose in the bust.
While browsing the product images, I was curious as to why everyone had either an undershirt or a tank on underneath. When I pulled my shirt out of the box and held it up to examine it, I quickly learned why--- you can see sunlight through both layers of fabric. That's okay by me, as I'm used to wearing tank tops as a bra instead of going through the hassle of tossing on the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. But, I highly advise not wearing a white bra underneath this shirt if you're going to be around black light.
The colors pop off the shirt, drawing attention to the message conveniently located in the center of my chest. It is incredibly soft and very stretchy and thin. I personally think this is okay, because it gets really hot where I live and the humidity will strangle you. So anything that's loose and thin is a great choice. The garment is preshrunk 100% cotton and should be washed with like colors. Your regular detergent should be just fine. I added a cup of vinegar to the wash cycle, because it keeps the black from fading. (Vinegar is a great stain remover and fabric softener for clothes.)
Husband says he wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with me in public if I choose to wear it out, which I don't think I'll have any issue with doing. I would totally love to shock the senior citizens in the community or see if I get any knowing winks in the grocery aisles. I'll have to remember to keep a booklet of affiliate flyers on me at all times while wearing said shirt.
So, whether you choose to wear it out or just use it as a nightshirt, I think this is a great addition to your t-shirt collection and I look forward to seeing future designs. A nice tank or jersey design would be fabulous for women.

Experience
August 19th, 2011:
I received the small t-shirt, today. The fabric doesn't appear to be exactly the same and isn't as soft as the medium that I initially reviewed, but it's still soft nonetheless.
I can barely tell the difference between the two sizes. The shoulders are approximately the same width with about an inch difference between the two t-shirts in the body, the medium size being a little wider than the small. The small shirt is about an inch and half shorter than the medium.
I stand at 5'1 with a short torso, smaller than average bust and I weigh close to 100 pounds. Both shirts are a little loose on me and the sleeves come down further than I expected, but overall I'm very happy with both.
There is a slight difference between the printing on the small. I just think that pressing was probably a little rushed, but it's nothing I can't overlook. As with all screen printed images, there will be some fading. If you want to keep it around for awhile, just take care of it and try not to dry it very often. I would even go so far as to suggest hand washing it if you really want to keep it pristine.

#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.

Thank you for viewing EdenFantasys t-shirt – gags review page!
Thanks for commenting on the specific fit of the shirt. Also, I appreciate the vinegar tip. I didn't know vinegar was useful for that purpose!
Oh, man I love me some vinegar for doing laundry. It's fantastic stuff, so I'm glad I could pass it along.
Great review! I love mine. I too ordered a medium and it's a little loose, then I ordered a small. It is snug but looks great with jeans. I am now waiting on a large for a sleep shirt. I ride motorcycles too so the Vroom fits in great with all aspects of my life lol!
Absolutely, Sexy! We ride too and I can't wait to wear to our next gathering!
Awesome review, I really want one of these.
great review, thanks. must be alot of people getting free tees with their orders. Been alot of reviews on these shirts.
Good review, thanks for sharing it!
ty
Thanks for the review. Good thing all my bras are black.
Thanks for the vinegar tip, I wear black almost exclusively.
I just ordered mine... can't wait!
All the best,
Kim
That is a good thing Ivy! LOL
@Sthr, good deal! It really does help keep colors from fading.
vinegar, really?
the things i learn on eden
Nice review!
I dont think many people even read the shirt when im out and about in it to be honest and the people that do probably dont get it anyways!
nice review
