Mini shirts make big splash

Amy Clark models a Lane Bryant shirt

Pineapple skins, popcorn weave, pucker shirts, pouf tops. No matter what you call them, the little ruched shirts as small as the length of a pencil have stretched into a mini-trend, especially among teens.
It feels really weird, says Amy Clark of Wyoming, trying one on at Lane Bryant in the Tri-County Mall.
It feels like you have nothing on. And it's so little I figured it wouldn't fit. But I like it. It's comfy and it hides flaws.
The featherweight pullovers, usually sold as one-size-fits-all, stretch into form-fitting rainbows of colors.
Sleeveless, short sleeve, three-quarter and long sleeve styles are at stores from Victoria's Secret to Wal-Mart. Great for travel, the tops are priced $14.99-$59.
