View Full Version : Tee shirt trauma

I'm having trouble finding tees--or any shirt, really--that fits well. I'm 5'8", rather broad shouldered and, although I'm nearly back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I'm still nursing so I'm pretty busty (a size 12 pant or skirt with a DDD/F cup). My shirts and tees feel small across the shoulders and bust but are huge in the waist/midriff. Any suggestions...or should I just make friends with a tailor?

Dont shop juniors anymore. Womens wear tends to be looser at the bust and nicer at the shoulders. You can also be fashion foward and wear your current non-printed shirts with a wide belt to cinche in the waist.

I feel your pain--as a tall girl with broad shoulders, it can be hard to find shirts that fit both my arms and torso. Consider buying the tall sizes on mainstream sites like J.Crew (http://www.jcrew.com), Eddie Bauer (http://www.eddiebauer.com) and Gap (http://www.gap.com). And a tailor is always a good idea--find shirts that fit in the shoulders and have the sides taken in for a perfect fit.

Try looking in the back of the care for tag, see what the shirt material is made up of , if your skin is not super sentitive try t-shirts that are not 100percent cotton get t-shirts with about 92percent cotton and 8percent.you will be satisfied.
