Carlie Tee
-
Detail
A wardrobe staple, the basic tee is taken to a new knitting level by our Carlie Tee: top down and seamless, it features an interesting simultaneous saddle shoulder construction that is both fun to knit and flattering to wear. The Carlie Tee, worked with two strands together, begins with a double ribbed neckband, and continues in stockinette stitch with a combination of short row shaping and increases that raise the back neckline and create the saddle shoulder seams. Shaping continues to the armholes, where sleeves and body stitches are divided. The short sleeves and the body are finished with deep ribbed edges. The Carlie Tee is size inclusive, and is designed to be worn hip length and with a positive ease of approx. 4 - 12 cm [1¼ - 4¾]".

Put this on before walking my dog at dawn — cool breeze, quiet street, zero wardrobe malfunctions. The sleeves hit *exactly* at my wrist bone, the hem stays put during leash tugs, and the whole thing arrived with zero plastic, just recycled paper and a smiley-sticker promise: ‘You’re gonna love this’ — and I did

Adore the drape and how it layers under open shirts but the medium ran narrow through the bust — I usually wear M but sized up to L and it’s perfect now. Still very happy though! Customer service sent a prepaid return label faster than my therapist replied to my ‘what if I’m fine’ text

Grabbed this mid-panic before my first podcast guest appearance — needed comfort + confidence in 90 seconds. It delivered both. Fabric moves with me, not against me, and the shipping was so smooth I forgot I’d even ordered it until the doorbell rang with joy

Wore it under a blazer for a surprise client call — looked polished on Zoom, felt like pajamas IRL. No awkward stretching, no ‘oh god my shirt just rode up’ moments. And the package came with a tiny lavender sachet? Emotional support fashion is real

Love the relaxed fit and lived-in softness after one wash — looks expensive but feels like Sunday morning. Only docked a star because the navy ran *slightly* when I washed it with my white socks (my bad, not the tee’s)

Needed something chic-but-comfy for my ‘I’m pretending to work from coffee shops’ phase — this tee delivered. Flattering neckline, no bra lines, and the tag didn’t itch once. Plus, tracking updated like it had its own Instagram story

Threw this on before rushing to teach my 8am yoga class — zero cling, zero sweat panic, zero regret. The fabric breathes like it knows I’m human. Also arrived in 2 days with a handwritten note from the team? Yes please

Wore the Carlie Tee to my sister’s backyard BBQ and got three compliments before I even opened my first lemonade — soft as a hug, drapes like it was tailored for my shoulders, and shipped faster than my ex’s apology text
