VERO MODAWomens Ava Plain Shirt Sleeve T-Shirt

I have these tops in slate & laurel. Both are versatile colours that will go with everything but the laurel is a particularly lovely shade, even nicer than the photos. I am a fan of lyocell, it hangs beautifully & it’s light & cool to wear. The fit is relaxed, I’m a size 8/10 & I bought small (on the advice of another review) & they’re a perfect fit, quite loose but that’s what I wanted. Overall, they’re well priced & I’m very pleased with my purchases!

I have two of these tops, in “slate” colour, so I thought I should leave a review.If you’re ordering these, keep in mind that they are intended to be a boxy fit. That means they’re not intended to cling to you anywhere. If you want a fitted look, either order a couple of sizes smaller, or maybe choose another style. I chose XL, and I’m a size 16 top, thanks to my size F bust. I could possibly have got away with an L, but I prefer tops which cover the wobbly bits, so XL is fine for me. I’m slightly taller than average at about 5ft 8 (Depending on whose tape measure we’re using!) and this was a good length for me.The fabric is Lyocell. It’s not cotton, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Lyocell is apparently made from woven bamboo fibres. I found it slightly less cool than cotton tops of a similar style, but it was still light and breezy on an unseasonably warm 28C spring day. I wouldn’t say it made me any sweatier than a cotton top. If you’re considering the slate colour, I’d say it’s more of a sea foam/light turquoise shade than the grey colour which the name “slate” suggests, so don’t be put off.Bearing in mind that this is a lightweight top, I would recommend that ladies wear a T shirt bra underneath it. The slightest hem line or lace protrudes through the fabric very noticeably. At the risk of getting a telling off for being too graphic for the censors, on a cold day, your chest’s extremities would certainly be very visible! I tried wearing this with a crop top underneath, and quickly noticed there would be a problem ;)It’s very versatile and easy to dress up for work, or just chuck on with a pair of jeans. It’s certainly a nicer alternative to a regular T shirt.It washes and dries well. I chucked mine in the usual 30C wash with my normal laundry detergent, and dried it on the washing line. It dried pretty quickly, and with minimal creasing. I tried to get the remaining creases to drop out by leaving it on a hanger in the steamy bathroom, but that didn’t work, so if you want it immaculately flat, you will need to iron it. If a few light creases don’t bother you, you’ll be fine with it. There is a little bit of bobbling visible if you look hard. I’ve never owned anything Lyocell before, so I’m not sure if this is normal.When I picked this top up, it was just under £6, which was about half the price of pretty much every other colour going. I’m not sure it’s worth much more than £10 if you compare it to some of the similar tops on offer at the supermarkets or on the high street, but for the price I paid, I’m happy. If I could get the other colours at this price, I certainly would.

Well made good fit

My daughter is sensory and loves the feel of this t-shirt! It is so soft! The fit is perfect and she is very happy with it.

Silky material which drapes nicely. Cap sleeves, longer length and quite oversized fit

Shapeless Square and snow White meant cream colour.

nice material, fits well but loses it colour after a few washes

Love it. Great color, good fit, nice feel.
