i suppose it would be in the Netherlands or Scandinavia...

i've been working on coming up with a good formula for cutting down boxy swag t-shirts into more lady-shaped shirts that i would actually wear. (i have one from a work project i'm pleased with that i want to do right. i have several free shirts from PAX that i collected for practice.)

what i've learned so far is that the significant difference is in the length from neck opening to shoulder, and the shaping of the sleeves. i packed it in tonight because the sleeves are confounding me right now and i need time to think on it. i was reporting my findings to C as i cleaned up:

J: the key point where the shirts match is at the base of the sleeve - it's the wide spot - and you need that space for breastland.

C: best. themepark. ever.

I'll be following your progress on this as that's one of the reasons I only wear T-shirts at the gym.

What she said. I have a couple of tee shirts I'd pay you to restyle for me if you succeed in your endeavor.

(Will you be able to make it on Oct. 4, by the way? And I'd love to see you sooner, too.)

If you succeed in this, female geekdom shall rejoice.

There's a lot of helpful-looking articles on sleeve setting floating around the knitterly side of the internet, if that would be helpful. (I do not know what about the sleeves are confounding you, mind. Sleeves in general confound me.)

What they said. While I'd rather wear a boxy tee than most women's tees, that's based on length.

I would totally visit Breastland!

Let me know if you come up with a good solution. I would be willing to pay someone to at least shorten some of my large guy's T-shirts.

Not Zimbabwe?
