I agree with everything you said...soft, flattering, fits great. I had to size up one size, but bought two on Monday and may head back and buy two more today! Love it!
I don't like the stripe ones but I have 3 of the solid ones and I plan to get a black and a white before the sale ends. I'm not a fan of the pocket but it doen't bother me that much. I love putting a tank underneath to add some more color(simple camis also on sale for 5 bucks )
The Target T-shirts that I have tried in the past get all stretched out and weird fitting. Well, all Target clothes seem to fit weird.
Same with me. I've tried sizing up and it still doesn't fight right. I just don't think Target clothes are cut for my body type.
They are a "boyfriend" fit so they are on the looser, not as fitted side. I actually got a size smaller than what I wear in regular clothes even though they are a juniors shirt.
I don't have the striped ones, but I have several in solid colors that I purchased with the $3 off Mossimo coupons that Target had on their site a while back. They're nice shirts for the money.
I saw someone wearing this shirt today! Well, the white striped version.
She was about 65 years old -- a tourist pushing her grandson out of the subway car. She had a large chest and it went basically to her true waist. I would not say it was flattering on her. And it was clearly pilling.
