If you're worried that plain t-shirts make your torso look straight and easily reveal your lower belly, the AK109 checkered pattern is easier to wear thanks to its soft ruched waist , gently flared hem , and feminine puff sleeves . The shirt accentuates the waist without being too tight, making it suitable for plus-size/chubby women who want to look slimmer when going to work, going out, or having coffee.

Size chart — preview before choosing

The shirt is suitable for weights between 55–90kg. You should refer to the chest/waist measurement in the size chart, especially if you are between two sizes.

Short note: The bodice has elastic shirring for a softer fit, but avoid choosing a size that's too tight around the chest/waist. If your measurements are close to the edge of a size range, prioritize a more comfortable fit.

Fit advice: Why is this shirt easier to wear than a plain t-shirt?

Plain, straight-cut t-shirts often make the body appear bulky. With AK109, the ruching is located at the body and waist, combined with a slightly flared hem, resulting in a more defined overall silhouette, especially when paired with jeans or wide-leg trousers.

Materials & Care

The soft, moderately thick checkered fabric has a slight stiffness that helps the shirt maintain its shape and prevents it from flattening quickly after wearing. It should be washed in cold water, turned inside out, and should not be tumble-dried. Drying in a well-ventilated area will help preserve the elasticated pleats for longer.
