EdenFantasys t-shirt - party costume by EdenFantasys - review by Ansley

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.

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.
