Cons:

• "The seams/threads started coming out after first use and now are a pain in the butt to gather and cut off after washing them."

Style and Design

Pros:

• "I do like the v-neck because it allows you to wear this shirt to work with a blazer or cardigan."
• "I love the blue. It's a gorgeous shade that brightens my face and yet is easy to wear."
• "The colors of both shirts are vibrant and true."
• "Also they don't have too far of a v-neck so they fit just right."
• "The fit is good. The V neck isn’t too deep."
• "I like the fitted shape and v-neck style."
• "The V-neck is flattering."

Cons:

• "I docked 1 star because the v-neck wasn't as flattering as the crew or scoop cut, and the stitching of the V makes it appear slightly off-center."
• "The red and white striped was not as pictured. It did not have the navy V-neck trim."
• "The v neck isn't as low as I was hoping but it's still a nice shirt."
• "The red and white striped was not as pictured... these shirts were much lighter weight and the material was not as substantial and does not hold it shape as well."
• "The v-neck is a BIT higher than I would have liked, but not a dealbreaker."
• "V-neck is more of a 'u-neck' and they are too stretchy to look put-together."
• "The shoulders are strange. They stick out at a 90 degree angle."
