060: T-shirts: 5 Great Reasons to Make One


Listen Later

T-shirts are one of our wardrobe staples and there are 2 billion sold and bought every year. But I still struggle to buy them to fit me and in this episode I’ll share more about that and my 5 reasons why I think you should make your own so stay tuned.

Why are t-shirts so hard to buy?

Because my hips are a couple of sizes bigger than my bust, when I try to buy t-shirts I often find that if they fit at the shoulders, they are too tight, or at least tighter than I would like around my tummy and hips and if I size up so that they fit comfortably across my hips, then they look a bit tent like at the top.

I also like to match my t-shirt to the rest of my outfit, so getting just the right colour can also be a challenge. I think my mum had a skirt in her wardrobe for about a year, trying to find just the right colour t-shirt to go with it so maybe that’s a hereditary trait!

So before I get into my solution for my t-shirt buying problems (and spoiler alert, that’s the 5 great reasons to make one!) I wanted to share some interesting facts that I found out while doing some research for this little chat with you.
