Her Universe Order Arrives...My Review
Jun. 29th, 2010 06:30 pmI ordered the Padmé art nouveau style red t-shirt, the Plo Koon and Ahsoka v-neck t-shirt, and the TESB long-sleeved hoodie.
The t-shirts are not THE softest I've ever bought but as soft as something you'd get from say J Crew or Banana Republic. They are both form-fitting and semi-sheer. Since the Plo Koon/Ahsoka one is black, as long as your bra is black or flesh-colored you're okay. You might have to go with a camisole or a seamless/laser-cut bra in a flesh color for the Padmé one. Your bra straps are going to be more apparent.
When ordering, I was a little confuzzled as to which size to buy. Not to brag, but I've lost 41 pounds over the past nine months and not only did I drop three sizes in pants, I also dropped a size or two in tops. Since I'm now about an 8-10 in tops, I almost ordered mediums until I looked at the sizing chart. Even though I'm slimmer, I still have the same curvy body shape and based on the inches across the chest, I figured I needed a large. Having tried on the shirts, here's my advice. If you're a C or D cup, go one size up. If you want a loose fit, go two sizes up. If you're over a size 14-16 in tops, definitely get the 2XL.
The Padmé tee is silkscreened with gold foil accents. The gold foil matches the tee; it's not too bright or garish. Since it's silkscreened, I would advise that when you wash the tee turn it inside out and line dry it to preserve the design. It's really pretty on and who can't love Tsuneo Sanda's artwork?
The Plo Koon/Ahsoka's v-neck is low, just as warning to those of you with a lot of cleavage. It seems like it has a leeeetle bit more room in the chest than the Padmé one, though otherwise it fits the same. A very nice tee if you love Clone Wars.
The TESB hoodie is made from thermal material but a nicer fabric than your usual longjohns/thermal underwear. I LOVED the way this one looked on. It flatters your form without being too tight. There's a little bit of silver foil in the stars but as in the Padmé tee, it's not over-the-top. It's perfect for SoCal coastal weather. A big thumbs up from me!
