I love ribbed shirts...but not if the ribbing is not tight and the minute it is pulled out of shape it won't go back into shape! This shirt is different for once put on and is taken off it all goes back into a tight knit pattern. I got the beautiful light gray and stretches to a little longer than just a regular tank. You can't see through it yet is light weight...not to be confused with "cheap" for it is a quality knit! I just love mine and it looks like it will last for a good amount of time. It also arrived quickly and was nicely packaged!
