It has a open-knit ruffle overlay and a single hook-and-eye closure at the bodice, a V-neck, racer back, rolled edge at the hem, and ruched two inch straps. It's perfect for hiding your stomach if you over indulge a bit this Thanksgiving.

2009 Shirt Snob Holiday Shopping Guide
This year seemed to have flown by, but now is the time to start thinking about the holidays. More specifically, what you are going to buy everyone! Our shopping guide is all about tees because size wise they are easier to buy, and it's easier to know what type of t-shirt someone would like as opposed to what their high fashion style is. Most of these companies also offer tees in men's sizes in case you want to buy for your fathers, brothers, or significant others. And don't forget to check out our archives as well. There are tons of other great companies that we've written about in the past.
Another option is always a gift card. You can consider the above companies as well as the high fashion ones, such as our favorite boutiques: Shop Bop, Max Studio, Free People, Tobi, and Revolve Clothing. These are also good places to buy a blouse if you really want to get one for someone.
