Shirt design for Lymphedema

The compression T shirt is now on the GO site!

http://www.gotravelwear.com/shop

This is a basic, black compression shirt, sized with some great help from quite a few ladies here who tried on prototypes and sent in feedback for adjustments.  That said, we all know that sizing is unique to each of us, and it's a rare woman who fits a size exactly.  The cut is a scoop neck, not too deep, in response to feedback about the need for higher compression. 

If this fits the bill for a good number of us, and sales are brisk, I'm pretty sure that the designer at GO will make an alternate design available, thinking of a deeper scoop and shorter sleeves, for better wardrobe camouflage.  Even so, the current version is a much better wardrobe bet than anything else I've found, with no logo screaming 'athletic wear.'

$25 plus shipping ($6 on the one I just ordered, which I think is standard).

And one more time to clarify, I've been working with the kind Margaret at GO for quite some time to get a compression tee that meets our needs, but I have zero financial interest in this--in case anyone was wondering, as it's not OK to promote products out of self-interest in our forum.

Thanks so much to all of you who helped out with the sizing.  This was truly a group effort.  I hope this becomes a valuable resource for lots of us!

Jane, I can't wait to hear what you think!

Look at the sizing options! XS to XXL

Meadow, I hope you like it!

Those who have tried them, can you tell me how the sizes run? I assume that for a shirt you go by chest size only. In that case I'd be a small. I usually get M shirts because I like them loose.

Barb, the one we're talking about is on the lower right of the shopping window, the compression tee shirt. It's the one that's not shown on a model. The other shirt is a garment that doesn't provide compression.

Thanks carol

So excited about this. Have the sizes stayed the same as the 2nd test one I received Carol?Big thanks to all of those making this dream come true

Hugz, I seriously think I have lost track of the adjustments. I know that Margaret took everyone's feedback to heart. I truly have my fingers crossed that the shirts in the various sizes will work for a broad cross section of women who need compression all over, like a compression T will provide. I don't know if we will have succeeded for everyone, considering human body size variation and the absolutely nutty way that LE has of being so different for us all. And I know that a few women were disappointed that the shirt's long-ish sleeve and high-ish neckline cut can't disappear under some wardrobe items, but we were working first on compression needs. I do believe that if sales are robust enough, Margaret will help by creating a 'fashion' version that shortens the sleeves and lowers the scoop. LE brings out our patience gene, doesn't it?

Glennie, we had one member try the shirt both with prosthetic and flat, and she had favorable comments. But nope...no uniboobers. Truly, I did not think of that.

Jennie, it should be pretty darn tight, but not so tight that it feels like it's cutting into you. I do find that I'm wiggling into it a bit; same as with UnderArmour shirts. But once I'm in the shirt, it's comfortable and definitely moves with me.

Barb,

I think that the only option is to pull it on over your head. The neckline is small.

I've been contemplating buying one, but since my breast reconstruction/reduction my chest is smaller than my hips - any suggestions on how to size it?

Ok going to order my go tee today.carol is the website called GO athletics or something else

Gma,if u get it too tight on bottom it may roll up
