Japanese garden tee

I really love the way this t-shirt fits and looks. It is wonderful with jeans, but also looks terrific with a brown skirt and navy jacket. I receive compliments every time I wear it. I especially like the lining because it helps the tee fit smoothly and it is very flattering for those of us in the XL-1X category. I wash and hang dry and it dries quickly with no wrinkles.

I LOVE Coldwater Creek t-shirts but this is different. It's lined. It doesn't drape as well and runs both short and a little smaller (because of the lining). In the hot Texas summers, it isn't as cool as other T-shirts. I wish I could figure out a way to get rid of the lining because I LOVE the colors and couldn't wait to get it. Still like it, but...

The neckline had facing in it that kept coming up and it didn't hang properly at all.

I wanted this shirt so badly, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I ordered the Xl, my usual size. It fits a little loose for my taste. I would be afraid to go down a size because the length is just right. I like the lining, it add smoothness to the fit. The graphic artwork looks more artistic online than in person. I think it is overpriced for a shirt that is definitely just a t-shirt. I like it but don't love it.

I'm 8.5"; I was hoping it was as long as a similar style I bought a year ago. Including the length in inches would be helpful. I would recommend it for my short friends.
