‘A Woman’s Dress Should Be’ — Sophia Loren Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.” Sophia Loren delivered this in her 1979 authorized biography, with the comic timing of a woman who had spent two decades as cinema’s idea of desire and knew exactly how the machinery ran. The joke has aged better than the whistles around it, because she is claiming authorship of the effect rather than being subjected to it. The real question underneath is an old one: who a woman actually dresses for, and who gets to decide.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
