buy a boys size?

if you need the bigger size but don't like the boys fit try girling it up with a pair of scissors. Easy one: cut out the neck band and toss away. cut off the hem of each sleeve and cut ring so you end up with two strips. cut each sleeve from end to shoulder seam (along the top of the arm, but stop at seam so you don't go all the way through to the neck hole) then tie one of the strips between the top of this cut and the neck hole.

You end up with a tee that is almost a tank top, with slightly fluttery sleeves that fall around the underside if your arm. the strips can be replaced with ribbon, or leather, or contrasting strip from another tee. Give it a bash on an old or op-shop (thrift store?) tee to see if you like the effect!

Oh dear! I can see now that I needed to be more explicit. I'm - pleasantly round? pleasingly rotund? I have a lot of acreage to cover. I need a Guys 3X, and the design only goes up to Guys 2X ... wonderful suggestions, though and I appreciate you taking the time to make them.
