Cute for workouts & relaxed look w/jeans and skirts! Nice material and love the little side slits!
Size: X-Large, Color: Plum, Size: X-Large, Color: Plum
Absolutely love this shirt! Fits perfectly in all the right places. Look gorgeous and covers my stomach without adding to much bulk and extra fabric. High quality feel to the material which laundries beautifully! It’s perfect for the gym or dressing up with a pair of jeans or skirt! Love it!

Sheer and Soft.
Size: Medium, Color: White
This shirt was purchased to be worn for tennis during our hot, August days in Texas. It is very lightweight and exceptionally soft. The cut is flattering - especially the armholes, which are at the perfect place - not too low so that your bra shows, and not too high to impede movement. The color is "white," but it is more of a light cream color. I did not give it five stars because it came out of a gentle washing and light drying very wrinkled, which was a big disappointment. I was hoping for Wash & Wear, but I had to steam it to get out the wrinkles. Also - it's almost too sheer ... I will probably wear a colored bra underneath it with a matching colored tennis skirt to look purposefully coordinated. While I am not familiar with yoga, Pilates, or gym attire, I would imagine that this shirt would be perfect for these types of exercise. I ordered the Medium (instead of the Large, which was suggested for me by Amazon). The Medium fit is perfect - it falls gracefully and is not tight anywhere - the large would have been too big.

Comfy and cute
Size: 3X, Color: Black
Perfect length. I normally wear a plus size 2X but I wanted it to be looser fitting so I got a 3X and it’s the exact fit I was looking for. The length hides my apron belly. The fabric doesn’t stick to me. Materiel is nice and lightweight. Hasn’t wrinkled, dryer didn’t shrink it, super stretchy. Perfect for an active lifestyle

Nice fit, but tank top materials feel hot
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Grey Heather
I bought the "dark grey heather" tank. Pros: -comfy relaxed fit (not snug or tight) - armholes not too low - i like the crewneck (but it sits a tiny bit high) - shirt length is a good "normal" length (not short, and not too EXCESSIVELY long like other Amazon brand women's shirts in the past) - looks casual and nice - didn't shrink after machine wash and dry. Cons: - the WORST thing: material feels hot, and it's medium weight, not lightweight like the item description claims. Don't like the 6% ELASTANE, 38% MODAL in this fabric blend. Feels hot in humid hot Houston weather. (But I like the 56% pima cotton!) - the "heathering" (maybe because of the materials) feels like tiny fabric fibers are itching me and not comfortable, especially if the air conditioner is not running, - the hem has side slits and is slightly longer in the back than in the front.

Perfect fit and comfy
Size: Large, Color: Black
I love these shirts! They are soft and lightweight. They fit as they should. I have a black, periwinkle, dark green, and grey. Great tank for the money and perfect to exercise in.
