Hello. This is all about taste. I completely agree with you regarding \”Manolo for the Big Girl!\”, but I think you are in the thin line of thinling. Don\’t you? Maybe you can try candies perfume gift set

Cotton shapes itself to my body. Cotton/spandex doesn’t. It pulls and reveals every detail of what’s underneath in the places where it’s tight and gaps in the places where it’s loose. And, if I buy a size that’s big enough to be loose everywhere, it looks like a sack.

If I’m going to wear cotton/spandex, I want it to have some weight to it (so it doesn’t reveal, say, the button of my pants and every little roll and bump on my body), I want it to be form fitting, and I’ll wear it for workouts and active hobbies.

Tees that I wear as normal clothing should be able to conform to the shape of my body without being too clingy.

I’m loving the cotton/silk blend tops I got at the beginning of the summer. The weight is wonderful and the drape is great.

It depends on what I’m wearing. Right now I’m wearing a 100% cotton shirt from Target but it has enough give to let my rack o’ doom move. And since it’s going to be in the 90s’ with extra humidity (gotta love those sticky Maryland summers), it’ll be more breathable.

Button down shirts have to have that stretch because with my chest, it’s pucker and gape city. And it holds shape better after repeated washings.

I’m all for lycra in small percentages. I actually get annoyed when a t-shirt doesn’t have a hint of stretch. My curves gotta move, you know. The loose, boxy look of a traditional t-shirt does abolutely nothing for me.

class-factotum I like Gaiam’s 100% cotton undies. They have thong, bikini, hip-hugger, high-cut and brief styles in black and “natural”; though only up to size 9. (And they are on sale now for $13/3 pack.)

I can’t seem to make a link that works, but at gaiam.com they are under apparel/intimates/underwear.

Jockey has 100% cotton (Classic) French cut panties up to size 10.

I find my sentiments to be about … 50/50. Heh. I LOVE natural fabrics, either pure or combined with one another: hemp, ramie, linen, bamboo, silk, cotton, wool, and blends thereof. That said, I have a big love on for a smattering of spandex in the mix. I like it, not so garments can be tighter, but so they recover and/or hold their original shapes better, and so that a garment can be fitted, but leave room for muscle expansion and stretch without risking popping a button. I really, really love that recover factor. That said, I think for some garments – peasant skirts, etc. – that rely on volume for shape and comfort – spandex isn’t a necessity, and I would rather do without.

It’s too damn hot. Let’s all go naked. Better yet, let’s go swimming.

I think it works best if the 100% cotton shirt is non-fitted and the 5% spandex shirt is fitted – best of both worlds?

I would take 50% spandex in my shirts if I could have 100% pretty cotton undies. Anyone? Anyone? Is anyone making 100% cotton undies that don’t look like something my granma wears?
