Silly. Girls can't play football! We're here to look pretty!


It's more of a comfort thing, kwim? Play football if you want to, but no one wants to suit up like that just to go to the grocery store.

Ugh yes! I pretty much have to wear a tank under all my tees.

The only tees where this hasn't been the case is Three Dots brand and some Michael Stars tees.

Yes, I hate this 'trend' as well. Though I have a fairly small bust, that makes me even more self-conscious to have any thin materials -- displaying even more what I'm not wanting to show.

I have never actually purchased from this company, so I can't vouch for the quality, but Bella and Canvas.

I am intrigued by the several mentions that Chico's got. "It was a Chico's kind of day... All week long."

Lands's End shirts have gotten thinner over the years. And their girls clothes, dresses included, are no longer reliably sturdy and well made. I've returned more than I've kept the last two years.

Another um Chicos here. Also Ralph Lauren. They are expensive, but the Lauren are on sale a lot at Lord and Taylor. If you are plus if gets hard to find what you want.
