  Okay shirt for sale price January 3, 2009
Considering this shirt is on sale for only ~$7, I can't really say too much against it. It is a little on the thin side (as you can probably tell from the product pictures) & as others have said, it does run a bit small and seems more like the sizes listed are Juniors sizes. I usually have to get a size XS in Misses/Womens, and this shirt in size Small is a wee bit snug on me. Probably best for most to order up at least one size, two if you don't like tight-fit shirts. But the sleeves are a great length. These fall an inch or so below the wrist, which is great for my long arms. The color shown for the emerald green top on the website is not a good representation of the actual shirt color...it's a lot brighter and a lot less muted than what's shown in the pic.
I think it's worth the $7 sale price, not so much worth a nearly $20 list price. So buy it if it's on sale and you're looking for some wardrobe staples/layers.
 Poor quality December 28, 2008
I have to agree with the other reviews. I bought this same shirt this year and last year. The same shirt last year was thicker and designed proportionally. The shirt this year, however, is much thinner, designed with an exceedingly narrow truck and wider sleeves. I had to return all of the Trecento shirts I bought this year. Very disappointed.
Super snug fit-- order accordingly! December 11, 2008
Just wanted to agree with those who had previously reviewed these shirts. I usually wear a small or a medium woman's shirt (I'm 6'1" and weigh 160), and purposefully ordered an XL based on the other reviews. Just like the others, I found my XL shirt really snug around the torso. While the shirts are a fairly medium-weight cotton, the white one is thin enough so as to be slightly see-through-ish; the darker colors (I ordered a navy, a black, and a brown) fare much better. The sleeves are wonderfully long-- something I rarely find and often covet as a tall girl-- and comfy, and the torso section, while very tight, is also long enough to cover the waistband of my pants and extend further toward my hips. All told, the picture with this item is a fair representation of what you'll get, particularly the part where it fits so closely you can almost trace the model's rib cage. Still... at this price ($6.99), you're getting precisely what the shirts are worth.

I'm 5'10", weigh 145 lbs, and the extra large is still snug on my frame. Even the slightly overweight should avoid these shirts. The sleeves are plenty big (and very long) for large arms, but how many people have skinny trunks and obese arms???!! It seems like they mixed up the body size with the sleeve size. The body is very snug and the sleeves are quite large. They will not fit like the pictures show. I bought 2 EXTRA-LARGE shirts because of the previous reviews - one black and one fuschia. The colors are very pretty but the fabric is very thin. I just laundered them and they came out of the dryer VERY wrinkled. I'm not buying any more of these.
Only buy it if it's on sale! October 21, 2008

I bought it in size XL and even so it's still quite small on me. The cotton is thick and it seems to be well enough made, but it doesn't feel super-comfy to wear. Wouldn't ever have bought it had it not been on sale.
