Do you know how hard it is to find a shirt that fits!?

I swear. Finding a 14 1/2 fitted shirt is worse than pulling teeth. If I could grow a few more inches and fit a 16, it'd be great, but noooo, I have to find that shirt that NO ONE ever has.

1. I had that problem for years

Skinny neck, average shoulders, long arms, no chest. I wore a 14 1/2-33.

Then I hit my mid-40s and gained weight.

2. sounds like my hubby

Now he wears an 18 1/5! Finding the size went from bad to worse!

3. I take a small

The trouble with cloths made overseas is I believe they think every american is six foot tall and two hundred pounds, the smalls will fit mediums, the mediums large and so on. And why does it cost me the same to buy a pair of 32/30 pants as it does to buy a pair of 38/38.

4. Yes, I know.

I've got a rather odd body shape. Long torso, broad shoulders, but not very long arms. With T-shirts, I usually wear an X-Large, but half the time they make an X-Large to fit a fat person rather than a large person, so I sometimes have to wear XX-Large just to get it to reach my waist. Of course then it's so loose and huge around my middle that it makes me look fat. :P Every now and then I'll find a Large that's made for a longer torso and broader shoulders, and it'll fit just fine. But those are few and far between.

With long-sleeved shirts its impossible. Anything broad enough for my shoulders is too long for my arms. And I've got rather large arms and legs, what with me working at a warehouse and lifting heavy things all day. So most shirts and pants are too skinny to fit them through. If I find a pair of jeans that fits my legs, the waist is much larger than I need. If I find one that's the right waist size, I can barely get it past my thighs. 'Tis quite a pain in the ass being of a non-normal shape.
