New shirts and fit issues

So. . .

. . . I got my first new shirts today.

Right off the bat--they looked hugemongous. I think it's because I hadn't ordered a shirt in ages. This was remedied by a wash and dry.

The thing is. . .

. . . they get all "poofy" and "scrunched-up" around the neck. Anyone else notice this?

I typically dry my shirts in the drier for the first wash. I know some folks NEVER do this, but I must, for fit reasons.

Without being a royal ass ('cause I hate to even mention this)--the new shirts behave much like DBH shirts. . .

This is neither good nor bad. Just thought it was worth a mention.

Comments on the poofy?

Poofy how?

This has happened to my Theadless Custom tees too, even though I only hand wash and hang dry mine. It's like the neck material shrinks more than the shirt and the shirt almost "puckers" around the neck. Is this was you mean? :-\

My shirts are way too long on me , I'm all for longer shirts, but it could almost be a super short dress. I will try a smaller size next time, I was a bit gutted.

also, the sleeves seem baggier, I think I need to go down a size.
