  1. Hi Roy!
    The picture you chose for the word shirt would be a "chemise" in French.

    In fact we don't say "maillot" except for "maillot de bain" = bathing suit

    And for tee-shirt, we use the same word in French: tee-shirt...

    Have a great weekend!

  2. thank you Isabelle, I thought so, but I had found "maillot in the dictionary, but they didn't clarify it enough. Sure wouldn't want to wear my bathing suit to work :)
