Could you tell me the length of the shirt please

Hi Cheryn. I would say the shirt is mid length. It is not long enough for me to wear out and for it to totally cover my rear if I am wearing trousers, it comes about half way down. It is perfect if tucked in because I can lift my arms overhead and it does not pull out. I hope this helps.



The Fable
Sophie D.The Fable

Hi Cheryn, most customers find the same as Robyn. The shirt is mid length. We have specific measurements available on our website.

Will you restock the Deep Sea shirt in M size again?
Is the Rose Quartz colour transparent, can you see the bra underneath? I can't really tell from the video and reviews have made me a bit concerned.
I've ordered forest green shirt in M and its perfect! I am keen to purchase more but don't want then to be transparent.

I am usually Size 16 in t shirts, jackets etc. Would it be an idea to go up a size in these shirts...to 18? Or are they true to size?

Hi Margi, most customers find our range runs on the small so if you are normally a size 16 which is our XL Id probably size up to XXL. We have easy returns uf need be :)

I’m also a 16 in other brands and found the XXL too small in some places (the sizing wasn’t consistent as it was tighter around the hips in the XXL than it was in the XL!). These shirts aren’t true to size when comparing them to other familiar and well known brands. Unfortunately they don’t offer larger sizes to cover this shortfall.

Lizasked

Can you add a function to your website “notify me when this size is in”. I have seen this on other websites when you really like something but it’s not in your size. I am unlikely to keep checking after a couple of weeks as I’ll just forget. The alternative is to have a back order function. I would order today if I could do that.

Hi Liz, thank you for sharing this feedback and letting us know. We'll be sure to add this function to our site.

Hello Lana,

Dalmatian isn’t transparent however we recommend wearing a nude bra with Rose Wuartz as it has a degree of transparency.

I'm thinking of buying the new T-Shirt in white but wondering how see-through, can I wear it with a nude bra and that wouldn't show?

Hi Evas,

You can. If you wear a nude or white bra underneath it will not be visible.

Let me know if I can further assist.

I wore it without a singlet (beige bra) for my first wear and felt exposed at work. I feel like I need a singlet under the white shirt.

Hi. Do the shirts require ironing? Best. Shannon

1 answer
The Fable
Sophie D.The Fable

Hi Shannon,

Most of our customers don't iron our shirts. After washing we recommend removing them from the machine or basin quickly then hanging them on a hanger both to dry and store. This will result in minimal creases and remove the need for ironing unless you are after a very polished look.

Very best,
Jessica

Hello Ruth,

Thanks for reaching out. We have an easy returns policy and any shirt which is unworn with tags still on can be sent back within two weeks for a full refund. We do ask customers return the shirt at their own cost. You are welcome to order two sizes if you are unsure.

As a general rule, we recommend customers size up if they are unsure.

Let me know if we can further assist.

I'm 6 feet and find most shirts too short...I note that some of your reviews say that your shirts are not too long....and I can't see the length in your photos....???

Sophie D.The Fable

Hi Maz, thanks for getting in touch. Our shirt length is generally considered average by most of our customers. In order to ascertain whether the length is right for you we would recommend taking the length of a shirt you already own and comparing the measurements to our sizing chart. Please let us know if we can help further. Our measurements can be found here https://www.thefable.com.au/pages/faq

Peta Smithasked

Can you advise if your fabrics change colour (ie go darker) when wet? If so, can you advise which colours are the least noticeable?

1 answer
The Fable
Sophie D.The Fable

Hello Peta,

When our shirts are washed, while wet, all darker shades ie Deep Sea, Blue Royale, Midnight Black, Poker Face will go a shade darker until they dry when they will return to their original colour.

I hope this is helpful.

I need some nice shirts for work. I work for a sports team that don’t have business shirts for year-round wear for women, so I need to have them embroidered with a logo. Do you think it would be possible to have your silk shirts embroidered? They seem like a beautiful light weight solution that would travel well, and no ironing required is a dream. Thanks for your help!

1 answer
The Fable
Sophie D.The Fable

Hello Lana, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately we're not in a position to embroider our shirts for customers. Although this is something we may look at in the future. The fabric is light weight and does travel well and are often worn in the workplace so could be well suited to your purpose. You are of course welcome to arrange your own embroidery if you're interested. If you have any specific questions regarding the shirts please let us know.

Sharon J

Sharon Jasked

How does your sizing work? I have never seen XL as 56 cms bust!!!What gives please? Your site sizing definitely says all measurements are in centimetres. XL = 56 bust - that is TINY! Please explain

1 answer
The Fable
Sophie D.The Fable

Hello Sharon,

Thanks for getting in touch. Just to clarify, 56 cms is the bust measurement taken from the shirt laid flat, from one armpit seam to the other. Most customers find our sizing to be standard for Australian shirting. If you are typically an XL or a size 16, our XL will probably be right for you. The best way to determine your size, if you are unsure, is to take some basic measurements of a shirt you already own and compare them to that of our shirts.

I hope that's helpful - please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Very best,
Jessica
