I was all geared up to buy this gorgeous design on a kelly green long-sleeve, since the long-sleeve fit is so much more flattering than the normal AA fit and I adore the colour and the print... However, now I realise that even though the long-sleeves are slightly shorter in the torso than to the AA short-sleeves, they're still a length that makes the placing of this design very unfortunate indeed: a line of monsters queueing round the stomach/hips/arse is not the most favourable emphasis for the hourglass-shaped lady.

Despair? No! It has now occurred to me that, assuming the info on the product page is correct and the kids' versions are printed on the custom cut rather than the AA, I should be able to fit myself very well into a 10 or 12! And it looks like the kids' placement will be better, assuming it doesn't get buried beneath my boobs. Also, it's cheaper.

So, does anyone have any advice or anecdotes about the new kids' tees and who can/can't fit in them? I generally wear a Girly XL (loose-fitting), Girly L (more fitted but still kinda loose around the waist), or Guys' Small (surprisingly good fit, not too tight or baggy). Any other girls here who've tried out wearing the new kids' tees? (And is there anyone who's itching to jump in and tell me why I'm making a horrible mistake and why the longsleeve would be better?)

(PS: Utterly unrelated, but I am now for the first time ever using a photograph of myself as an online avatar. I have never ever done this before. :O I feel like I've passed a rite of passage...)
