I got these to make shirts for our vacation and they were great! They are a bit thin and not as long as the pictures show, but they are very soft and take HTV well. I ordered L and XL as I was running out of time to make this and while I felt more comfortable in the XL (more room in the stomach area), the L overall fit better so that is what I kept. I wore tank tops under them as they are pretty flowy and thin. They also don't hang a lot in the armpits like some looser fitting tanks/shirts. I have not put these in the dryer as I'm scared they will shrink so I can't speak to that. Maybe if I lose more weight, I can afford to take the shrinkage risk, but not just yet! :) For reference, I am 205lbs and about 5'4" carrying weight in upper body and thighs.
