Dunnes is a step up from Penny's in price and quality but it's not in the same league as M&S.

She thinks it's like M&S, bless her and I know they've always had that reputation but to me it's always been a bit more BHS...... However I shall be going to buy the footie kits for the boys - total result for 8euro (even though both have said they want Spain and not Ireland. Absolutely NO idea why.....)!

Agree, a tee is essential for one's closet but to find the perfect fit and drape can make it a difficult task. For me, it needs to hide my muffin top but still fitted enough where it doesn't have the sack-like effect and bunch up like crazy under a blazer. Great picks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-12243735206828669162014-05-28T12:13:46.858-07:002014-05-28T12:13:46.858-07:00I bought that Dunnes one, but it shrank.

Dune have just launched 20% off - but I'm 3 items in, plus a pair of sandals and a pair of sunnies already this month.... but it ends before June allowance kicks in?

Please could you let me know what the sizing is like with the White Company sporty tee and the long-sleeved pocket one? I am very tempted by both, but I definitely want to order a relaxed fit, similar to the one you have in the pics. Sadly, my days of very fitted tees have come to an end - all's fine and nice and flat when I stand up, but oh boy, sitting down turns me into Michelin Man Mini Me nowadays!

Their tees are so so good and I was tempted to get a sweatshirt style one that I saw But I have to say that I am more bowled over by their selection of PJs. Sounding slightly odd now I grant you but I am v particular about nightwear and their plainer styles are just what I need to replace some much loved and well worn ones.
