Sadie Midweight Organic Cotton Cherry Breton T-Shirt

Soft, comfortable, my favourite colours!

I have many tees from Ivy which I wear constantly and they always wash brilliantly. I wanted a black striped top as I have a lot of the navy stripes and I liked the idea of the slightly heavier weight. It’s too hot to wear now but I know it will be another favourite. My Audreys are a 12 but I got a 10 in this as I didn’t want too oversized and it’s perfect.

Now perhaps my 6th or 7th Ivy tee! And my 2nd Sadie... She is perhaps my favourite in terms of shape and weight- perfect for winter with a thermal layer underneath and the neckline sits just right for jewellery. I think she'll be ace in the summer as a layer over vests too!

The optic white bases/stripes are most flattering for me and I love that this brand is clear in it's labelling of colour and fabric; it's never just luck that you get the white/cream/ecru that you really want. All the mystery taken out of shopping online!

Ivy's customer service is also beyond reproach! Nothing is too much trouble and you really do get what you pay for: attention to detail, quality and joy.

Love the vibrant colour of my Audrey, great fit, and washes well.

I bought some Ivy tees and indeed, they seem very high quality, and have a nice vintage feel to them (fabric is sturdy but beautiful!) BUT for someone a bit sensitive to scents, these shirts come with a very, very dominant smell of perfume or something like that. I tried airing them in a windy weather for 24 hours, didn’t help, washed them, aired again, still smells, and a lot too. Maybe it will leave with time but for now it’s very unpleasant to use them. It’s not a bad smell but basically is so strong that even food starts to taste like it. So, should I ever buy more from Ivy, I wish they would consider doing something for that scent. It does not seem like a natural product would be used to achieve it since it is so stubborn and strong and just makes wearing them unpleasant for now.
