T-shirt conundrum continued - Solution?
I was thinking about what stasia said about taking t-shirts in and I realized that modification might partially solve my particular problem.
See, men's shirts (L and XL particularly) are probably designed for individuals who average quite a bit taller than myself, hips and everything aside. I'm 5'7".
So what if I got men's t-shirts that fit me up top and then got them hemmed to a length where they would fall closer to my waist like the female shirts I like to wear? I don't have a sewing machine but I know where there are cheap little tailoring places around here (one benefit of this island's culture, I guess, haha). I might see if I could try this sometime.
If anybody's wondering why I'm making a big deal about t-shirts, well... I don't have a whole lot of other options for what do wear, do I? The majority of women's clothing is out of the question for me since I don't wish to accentuate my chest and I'm definitely not going for a "feminine" look. Since women's clothing is so overwhelmingly designed that way I'm stuck with the occasional garments that are more neutral- and with men's clothing, of course, which unfortunately doesn't always look flattering on a curvy body. *shrugs*
So anyway. There's that. XD
