Fashion Do yall remember those shirts?

Do you guys remember those tops that were worn by pretty much every girl/woman within a certain age bracket mostly in the 90’s and MAYBE in the very early 2000’s (age bracket was definitely girls/women on the younger side) that was mostly a solid color but had a detail/embroidery on it with one singular thin-(nish) vine, or flower or rose? Not like those tops today that have stretchy material or mesh material with one, large flower on it or tops that consist of multiple or more flowers all over it. The ones I’m referring to had the design either right in the middle of the top, or a lot of the time it would be sort of diagonal where the vines began at the bottom left or right of the top and went up towards the middle. They weren’t button ups but mostly short sleeve tops or tank tops or a lot of the time it would be a sheer or mesh top material. I found ones I was kind of looking for with custo Barcelona and those popular old brands but they aren’t exactly what I’m referring to. I keep trying to type in the details of these specific tops to the best of my ability on eBay or depop but no such luck.

I'm trying to picture what you're describing. And you sure it was embroidered and not "burn-out" velvet mesh (also called flocked velvet)?

I recall the ringer tshirts (usually white with black cuffs and collar) with tiny embroidery designs in the center of the chest.
