Hi all, I wanted to interject my humble opinion. The material she’s using now is not the same as her previous collection. It’s softer with a micro texture to it. There’s more stretch as well (both directions but one direction more than the other).
If you’re concerned about the fit for larger busts, the only way to get a good fit would be with princess seams, however, those also accent the entire torso. So if you have that midlife shift in abdominal weight placement it is more accented. The dolmen sleeve is the happy medium between princess cut and regular Tees. I think the problem with the fit on the current larger busts models are they are wearing one size down because it looks like they’ve lost weight (YAY for them!!!) and they chose the smaller size tops that hugs the mid section to show off the hour glass shape.
When compared to Slinky, the material is not the same. The majority of Slinky fabric does have stretch but not as much as this, nor is Slinky as soft as this new fabric. Also, Slinky material is not that breathable. If you perspire in 85F and high humidity weather you can’t wear Slinky. The sweat really shows through. This material is breathable allowing for the perspiration to dissipate rapidly and discretely.
I can also say the Slinky Tees I have are not finished like these. The Slinky neck line has a simple turned over finished edge whereas Iman’s is finished with a binding. I got one season of wearing the Slinky Tees in before the stitching started to come apart at all finished edges. It’s a bit embarrassing when you’re in a meeting at work and notice the hem falling apart or that rogue long thread that gets hooked on something and starts to unravel. This isn’t a knock against Slinky at all as I have a lot from that line as well. I just wanted to let the community know my opinion on the differences between the two.
Lastly, the creme de la creme, this fabric is machine wash and dry. What I have so far from last month have been through several cycles of laundering and everything still looks like I just received it.
Sorry for the length and I hope this helped you guys make an informed decision. STAY SAFE OUT THERE in this world of crazy. I hope you guys find something to treat yourself and keep your spirits up.
