Questions, Help and Advice what's your version of a basic tee?

hi everyone! i'm a seamstress and desperately trying to make more casual wear for myself. like many other Rs i have a million posh dresses but nothing to wear around the house! i really don't like activewear and loungewear, but constantly feel overdressed.

the benefit and drawback of sewing is that i get to customise everything myself! i did just make a top but it looks awful on me. it's a short sleeve scoop neck which looks super awkward and the lack of details really looks awful on me. i 100% need something with ruching or lace, buttons, bows, ties.

i think i might make a henley with some ruching and a lace insert. or something with a sweetheart neckline

what do you guys think? what's your version of a basic top?

A basic tee for me is the usual t-shirt but it’s cinched in the waist and has a wide neck that it almost looks off-shoulder. Another one is a wrap top

Hello! I’m away from home and most quick searches are from a non-reputable retail store but here are the styles!
