PJ womens tees :(

mindi

Yes I know I probably sound like a broken record, but just once I would like to buy a womens tee and have it fit properly.
The only one that begins to is the tree one from the 08 tour.
I usually wear a L or M in regular womens tees, depending on stretch. I even have a few tees from the girls dept. I knew that PJ womens stuff ran tiny so when I went analog, I ordered an XL.

Yep I can barely wrangle the boobs into it. I don't even have huge boobs.

I have a green tee, sz 2xl! It fits good everywhere, but shows my belly button. A blue tee with a neat design on the front, again if I lift my arms, belly button.

I won't buy mens because they make women look like they're wearing a pillowcase.

And I know I'm not a tiny girl, I have a few extra lbs on me, but when all other stores I can wear a L or M you would think an XL or XXL in PJ stuff would fit me.

Anyone other women have this problem or am I just shaped weird :(

It is ridiculous that there isn't more women's merch.

I am with ya on the weird sizing, very short and very tight, and yup, not much selection if we don't want to wear the huge sloppy guys shirts Pretty much the reason I wasn't willing to drop $35 on a tee this tour, I just got my poster and went home a happy gal

This one is funny, look how stretched out his butt is

Yeah, this is a bummer. The shirts are either too tight or look like nightgowns on me. Wish they'd find someone who does real women's fits. NFL does a decent job of this, for example.

I always tend to destroy my concert men's tees to get them to fit right (have to trim the sleeves, the base and often the neck) It's not just the lack of supply (and I don't think demand) but also the graphics- sometimes the designs on the men's tee are have to have.

I've done that. Luckily I can sew. I'm planning on hacking up my EV STL one soon.
Here's one that was a sz Small Stone tee. My Clara loves him so I made this shirt into a dress for her.

I do wish they had more women's stuff; alot of the tshirts come in men's. OP, you don't look large at all in that photo! This is my experience with the shirts: I usually get a men's medium (the ones I like don't seem to come in women's), and it fits loosely (although probably does, as you said, looks like a pillowcase now that I think about it. ). I have one women's shirt, and I got an XL. It is also blue with a design on it, but I've had it for a long time, and I don't remember where I got it--I think at a show maybe.. :? ; I've ordered alot of PJ shirts over the years from alot of different places, and get at least one when I go to a show. Anyway, that XL fits nicely--it's like a fitted tee. However, I ordered the women's XL analog shirt and I SWIM in it. It's too big to wear out so I wear it to bed. I thought they had sent me a men's by mistake but the tag says 'ladies xl'. Suffice it to say that when I order, I really have no idea what size to get other than men's medium.

I swear my analog XL is a kids shirt. I know someone who ordered a womens large and her tag says Ladies Large. Mine just says XL. :? Not ladies or anything. :(

I can wear that tee, since after awhile wearing a tee they loosen up, but it fits too tight in the armpits.

I would bet it is a kid's because of your photo. And mine does say 'ladies' on it also. Judging from your photo, I think the one I got would be too big for you as well (we look pretty close to the same size, minus a few 'perks' if you will, on this end cuz I don't have much of that).

that's a good thing! I'm pretty straight...probably why the men's work for me most of the time.

I know what you mean, I ordered a Ladies XL from 10c not long ago and could barely put it over my head; it was like a kid's shirt! Usually I have to go with a men's L to even fit in the things. And I normally wear a Ladies M or L... :?

regalturbo

My wife bought a ladies EV shirt this last tour (size L?). Fit okay, but she wore it once and a bunch of stitches in the armpit gave out. Not a good investment of $35.

mindi

If they pay me enough, I'll take over the womens tee shirt department!

Holy shit! The t-shirt in the pic in your 1st post Mindi is an XL!?!?!? That's fkn insane! An XL for babies maybe?!?!?! I never bother with the women's tees. Would be great if they were REAL sizes ie S = size 10-12, M - size 12-14, L = size 16, XL = size 18.

Yep XL. I wear a sz 12. I think 10C is trying to make me feel like a fatty :(

Mindi, you are not shaped weird. I have issues with the womens tees as well. I bought a womens XL avocado tee and can no longer wear it, it shrunk and it's TOO short. I washed it in cold water and air dried it.
I now buy mens tees.

Cute Stone dress!!!!

mindi

Thanks! She loves it, she wore it to my EV STL fundraiser party

I'm thinking about emailing 10C just to see what they think of my analog tee. At least maybe they can give me measurements of a large. If it's bigger maybe I can get that size.
