Just Okay -- Sizes Are VERY Inconsistent
I am 5'7 and a 175 lbs senior. I first ordered the XL in Coral Orange/Golden Yellow. They fit, but I thought if they shrink up at all after laundering, they will be a bit too small for me. I then ordered 2 more sets in XXL for comparison--Coral Orange/Golden Yellow and Clay/Light Pink. I wanted the XXL to give me a bit more room in the bust and tummy without making the armholes a lot larger. Looser clothing is cooler in this horrible heat and humidity, and looser clothing is more flattering to someone my age and weight.The XL:The armholes on the XL were okay, but I did see the "wings" a lot of other reviewers mentioned. If the XL had a bit more room in the bust and tummy with the same size armholes and perhaps an extra 1.5" in length, they would be more of a "perfect fit" for me.The XXL:The two XXL sets (each set shipped from totally different locations in the U.S.) fit very differently from one another. The XXL Coral Orange/Golden Yellow was very, very, slightly larger than the XL. The difference helped, but it is still not the fit I hoped for. I still think they would be too small if they shrink at all However, I think I am going to keep them ONLY because I really need some tank tops NOW due to the extremely hot and humid weather.The XXL Clay/Golden Yellow set was a different story altogether.The XXL Clay/Golden Yellow set had the roomy fit in the bust and tummy that I wanted, and it had the longer length I hoped for, too, but the armholes were far too large. If I raised my arms, anyone could have seen inside these tanks without even trying. I figured I could tack the armholes pretty easily to make a near perfect fit for me because this set was large enough in the bust and tummy that if it shrunk slightly, it would still fit well aside from the arm holes.However, this XXL set in Clay/Golden Yellow were missing their tags and looked as though they had already been returned once or twice already, so back they went for this reason alone. I do not mind tacking under the armholes to achieve a better fit, but if I order a new garment(s), I expect it/them to arrive with tags on them. I am so disappointed in this set because overall, it was the best fitting set of the two XXL sets I ordered. I could have tacked the armholes and been satisfied with the fit if only they arrived looking "brand new."Colours:The colours mainly looked exactly like the photos---yea!!! The "Light Pink" in the Clay/Light Pink set looked like a very light lilac to me instead of light pink, but that was not a problem---close enough. Lilac is a better colour on me anyway. My skin has too much olive in it to work really well with true Pink.Fabric:They all seemed to be all cotton---yea!!! They were not super sheer, but they were not totally opaque either. If I wanted to wear these in public in daylight, I would definitely need to wear a bra underneath or a jacket over them. However, since I bought them primarily to walk my dog around the neighbourhood at night in triple digit heat, not many people will see me very well in the dark, so I am not overly concerned about the thickness. The t-shirts I normally wear have been too hot in this weather. I definitely needed something sleeveless and cotton, and these fit my brief.To sum up, if your bust is 43"-44", the XL should fit, BUT there will be no extra room if you put on any weight or if they shrink after washing. Also, remember that the marked size and fit will vary depending on the colours you order. I suppose this is because different colour sets are made in totally different venues.In any case, being 100% cotton, they are not very stretchy, so keep this in mind as well. If you like a truly loose fit, you may want to opt for the XXL.I do NOT recommend putting these 100% cotton tank tops in a dryer, folks--they would likely shrink by at least 2 sizes. Cold wash and line dry them only! I have washed mine once so far, and the colours stood up fine to a cold wash and a line dry. If they shrunk at all, it was fairly minimal.The XL's length is fine, but it would be a tad nicer in my opinion if it were about 1.5" longer. The cotton material is okay---not super high quality pima cotton or anything, but not the bandana thin stuff from China that I usually see here on Amazon. If you want to wear them in daylight where people will see you, wear a bra and/or a jacket.The XXL is just marginally larger than the XL in one colour set and a lot larger in the other colour set. So, do not expect that all colour sets labelled the same size to actually be the same size. XXL in one colour combination may fit a lot smaller than in another colour combination. Clay/Light Pink in XXL fit a good bit larger than Coral Orange/Yellow for example. These are the only two colour combinations I ordered, so I cannot speak to how the other colour combinations run size-wise, but be prepared for differences.There is too much inconsistency in sizing in these tank tops. Sadly, this is true with so much clothing these days. Quality control is abysmally lacking. This is the big reason why I am always so hesitant to order clothing on Amazon--poor quality control and prices much higher than they should be for the quality. However, I hate to shop in stores anymore, which is why I occasionally order clothing on Amazon, but I may have to overcome my in-store shopping aversion in future in order to get a better fit for a price more commensurate with the garment's quality. The quality of these tanks is no better and perhaps a bit less than you could find at Walmart.Honestly, for what these are, I think a set is really worth no more than $15 max. With moderate use (absolutely maximum 4X wearings per month for each piece), washed in cold water, and line dried, I imagine these tank tops would wear for 2 seasons, possibly 3 seasons at most. You will not be able to hand them down to anyone like families could do in decades gone by.The stitching is not bad, but it is not super solid either, so be prepared with a needle and thread just in case. I am sorry to sound like such a Golden Oldie here, but in my day, if you needed a certain size in clothing such as Small, Medium, Large, etc., in any garment made by any maker, the sizes were consistent across the board no matter who manufactured them. Also, the quality of the material, buttons, zippers, stitching, etc., was all good enough that you could pass down garments in your family or donate them as decent, wearable clothing. Those days are long gone, though, and more is the pity. We are all basically paying for 1-2 season throw away clothing--unfit to hand down to another a younger generation or donate to charity after wearing for one season.For the price point of $25.75 per set with tax included, I give these tanks a 5 to 5.5 out of 10. The quality control is just not there, but the colours are very nice indeed, and the material is okay--more opaque than a bandana but not nearly as nice as a high quality pima cotton.I hope this review will help others find their correct size and help them to be be prepared for what arrives size-wise.

Runs true to size for me in XS
The small was way too big…I’m typically an xs but initially thought it would be too small. Nope. I needed the xs. I am 95 lbs and 5 ft tall. This is a great tank top and I will order more. Very soft and comfortable. The small was just not right for me.

MY FAVORITE MULTI-PURPOSE TANK! *UPDATE
I wear cotton tank tops to bed. I've always had to buy men's Gildan size large, because I couldn't find any that fit as well. Gildan was never a perfect fit, too long under the armpits and too long. Recently, they started to make the Gildan ones smaller across. I couldn't just size up to XL because those were humungous. So, I've been on the lookout to replace them. I came across these Amazon Essentials Women's Classic-Fit and I'm super impressed. Eventually, I will replace all my Gildan's with them. I have purchased six, so far. I wear a large, but these run small, so I had to get XL. Once you wash them, they fit like a large. They wash up great and they fit well enough to wear out as a regular tank top. I like that there are many colors, but of course I'd like even more. The Gildan's were always getting holes, didn't last all that long, and have recently gotten much thinner in material, and while the Amazon Essentials are fairly thin, the material looks to be very good quality and I expect them to last longer than the Gildan's. I'm very happy with these tanks, just remember to size up one size.*UPDATE: I have washed the light pink one once and it already has a hole in it. The material is quite thin, so maybe that is why this happens. They are substantially thinner than the Gildan heavy or ultra tanks. I'm very disappointed and have downgraded my review to 3 stars. If things change and that was just a one off, I will update accordingly. Also, the Charcoal Heather and Light Grey Heather ones are slightly smaller than the other colored ones I have, but not enough to bother me.

Good value
Perfect for the gym. Excellent coverage and yet temperature cool. I was nervous that they would shrink being 100% cotton. They did not. They held up well.

really is 100% Cotton
I like the fit of tank top. Not stretchy nor fitted. Or too loose. I purchased my regular size and I'm happy with them. In fact, I just ordered 2 more. Very reasonable price. Tag states it is 100% cotton, just what I wanted.

They shrink!
When I first tried these on they were really big in the upper body but okay in the hips. I figured I'd just take them in a bit but thought I'd wash them first. Glad I did - they shrank so much they were fine without alteration.

well made with good quality fabric
I use these for undershirts so don't care if they are flattering, but they are comfortable and don't look bad or expose too much. Mostly I appreciate the fabric is decent quality and they last a while.
