Product Insights
The Contemporaine Pointelle Pattern Pure Organic Cotton T-Shirt, from Simons' 186-year-old Canadian heritage, offers a budget-friendly entry into pointelle style at CAD 19.99 sale price—roughly 60% cheaper than comparable tees—with a smart-casual look that flatters petites but runs short on taller frames. The 100% organic cotton knit is weighty and warm, suitable for cool weather, yet stiff and rough, prone to snagging on jewelry and zippers, and requires flat drying to prevent permanent stretching. Sizing down gives a more fitted look but compromises the intended roomy silhouette, while snug sleeves contrast with the relaxed body, recommending size up. The pointelle weave does not soften with washing, can irritate sensitive skin, and the Off White color can be slightly sheer, limiting its versatility.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Sizing down gives a more fitted look but compromises the intended roomy silhouette.
- Length
- Several buyers report the body runs short and wish it were longer.
- Sleeve fit
- Sleeve fit is inconsistent across reviews: one buyer found the arms snug and recommended sizing up, while another found the sleeves too wide.
- Handfeel
- Buyers often find the pointelle cotton stiff and rough against the skin, and several note it is heavier or thicker than expected; some report it remains rough after washing.
- Snagging
- Pointelle eyelets are prone to snagging on jewelry, zippers, and rough surfaces.
- Dressability
- Buyers say the pointelle pattern elevates the tee for smart-casual wear, and Off White is a warm cream rather than a true white.
- Fit and comfort
- Some buyers find the relaxed fit too boxy, and a few describe the pointelle cotton as rough or stiff against the skin.
- Material quality
- The 100% organic cotton pointelle knit is weighty and opaque but prone to snagging and needs flat drying; light colors can be sheer.
- Brand heritage
- Designed for women 30-40 by Simons, a 186-year-old Canadian institution.
- Competitive pricing
- At CAD 19.99 sale, it's about 60% cheaper than comparable pointelle tees.
- Sheerness
- Off White pointelle eyelets can be slightly sheer.
- Care
- To avoid permanent stretching, dry the pointelle knit flat rather than hanging it while wet.
- Washing instructions
- The retailer's care guidance recommends machine washing on a gentle cycle in cold water and tumble drying on low heat; turning the shirt inside out before washing helps preserve the pointelle pattern.
- Coverage
- For lighter colors like Off White, a neutral camisole underneath is recommended because the pointelle eyelets can reveal undergarments.

Le tissage rend le coton rugueux sur la peau

I love this T-shirt. The pointelle pattern elevates it so it feels more dressed up than a regulat T. The material is a great quality.

Cotton T shirt white
Love the material and boxy style. It is definitely white even though the color online said off white? Looks like the picture.
Perfect!
Love this shirt! It just feels more dressed up than wearing a plain cotton T. The sleeves are a perfect length as well.
parfait
oui
Too short
Shirt too boxy and short for me.
Beau t-shirt motif pointelle et jolies couleurs
C'est la première fois que je commandais chez Simons, j'adore la qualité du tissu qui est cependant plus épais que je pensais.
Nice tee
Fits okay except arms are quite snug……should have sized up.
Non conforme à la photo
Les manches sont beaucoup plus courtes que celles démontrées sur la photo. Décevant…
T-shirt motif pointelle
très beau t-shirt et j’adore les couleurs. J’en ai acheté 3. J’aurais aimé que ces derniers soient un peu plus long.
avis
Le tissu est trop raide pour être confortable.
Nice dressy t shirt
Slightly thicker fabric than a cotton t-shirt. Dresses up with a nice pair of pants
Retourné. Pas aimé le tissu.
Dès que je l'ai essayé sur moi, je n'ai pas aimé la sensation sur ma peau, ça me semblait un coton rude. La coupe ne m'allait pas très bien non plus.
Couleur bien jolie.
Cependant, un peu épais. J'aurais préféré un peu plus léger.
Tshirt
Semble bien
Nice top
Great with shorts or jeans.
Bon achat
Entretien facile, non froissable.
A little disappointed
Very stiff with the pointelle embroidery.
