And i favor low-cut things too that accentuate the bust. It's the only part that I emphasize with tight fitting fabric, and it helps to give an hourglass kind of appearance. If I wear something that covers the boob zone too much, my whole figure winds up looking a little boxy. I have to have a V-neck, tight shirt and then a skirt or something that flares out. But I also favor closed-off body language, I don't engage people with the way I look at them, and I keep a very comfortable physical distance. So yeah, the low-cut shirts are for my own benefit and comfort, not theirs! :)
Heh. Tight tshirt and full skirt? That's pretty much my daily uniform. (Unless I'm wearing jeans. Then it's a tight-in-the-bust top that flares out and comes below my hips, so it's pretty much the same effect.)
I should make up shirts that say "This is low cut for MY benefit, not yours." with "Don't be creepy" on the back.
Maybe I will. Goodness knows there're enough places that will do one-off shirts online. Hmm. I wonder what their plus-sized shirts are like... (I need new clothes. Badly. Tshirts count. *grin*)
And LJ totally needs a like button. I think that's the thing I miss most about FB right now. :)
I did buy some bell bottoms recently - at Fashion Bug, and they fit really well. I swore off pants for ages because I couldn't find any that fit me. I do not like the comeback of the '80s 'skinny jean'!
I am coming to terms with the fact that a good 70% of my clothes are things that I am just not going to wear because while i like the fabric/cut/etc it does not look good on me. I think I have settled at the size that I am meant to be, so I am just going to stay here, find what looks good and stick with it!

Heh. I *hate* doing darts almost as much as I hate setting gussets in slashes. (Gussets along seams don't suck, at least.)
If you want to make tshirts fit me better, I've got a small stack that I'm too chicken to cut into. :) But a Don't Be Creepy shirt would be good, too. :)
If you do get the shirts made, count me in for one, too. There's this creepy guy at my local library who doesn't seem to understand the concept of personal space (as in, "Stay the f*ck out of mine"); I seem to have the misfortune to keep running into him.

Put the design together and I'll make up a few for you, but I get to cut darts into them, my newest tailoring thing.
