Regina Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Chal--I have a woman's 2xl from a previous year, and it measures 20 inches across the front. This matches the first chart, and the "ladies ring spun t-shirt" from the second chart, if that helps. Everyone--I know this has already been said, but these shirts are sized quite small, so if you haven't ordered one of these shirts before, it's a really good idea to check the charts. Don't assume if you are generally a certain size that it will be the case here. And thank you Raya for the gorgeous art, and the Xs for doing all the planning and wrangling!

Knight of City of Bayonne Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Please reserve three (3) men's XLT (Extra large Tall) and two (2) woman's L (large) for me. I'll bring the $100 with me (or more if the tall is extra). ( :idea:and I shall reduce the number of shirts I'm packing for the eastbound portion of the journey accordingly ) Thanks again for your efforts!

deleted01 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 For reference - I'm a UK size 12/14, but I always wear bigger shirts as I like them longer, and I have big boobs. I got the men's L before, which fits fine, but mine have shrunk a little in the wash, and so the sleeves aren't as long as I'd like, so I've gone for the XL this year.Men's shirts just fit better than women's, imo anyway. They tend to be longer, with longer sleeves, and they hide my sins better :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smofbabe Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Shirt looks fab but a small note: the official spelling from WSFS is "Worldcon" (lowercase "c") Janice, Who's an Editor in Real Life and Can't Help It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaldanya Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks, R. In that case I will cancel my order. With the best will in the world there's no way the girls will fit into the 2xl. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targh Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think I'll change mine to an XL to be safe. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 FWIW, I have a 39.5 inch chest. I wear an XL in the women's t-shirts. Also FWIW, the men's shirts are also slim cut, so they do not fit on ladies like a tent -- it's definitely more figure-flattering than your average men's tees. I know a number of women (especially those with wider shoulders or large busts) who buy the men's shirts and love them. If anyone has questions about fit for men's or women's, I'm also happy to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably wouldn't hurt if they voted for the Hugos too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitac Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Mr. X, rethinking my sizes. I'll have one Men's L and one Men's XL. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Normal bust measurement -- straight across the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Please reserve three (3) men's XLT (Extra large Tall) I'll check, but I don't think the shirts are available in Tall sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady with Ink Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Mr. X, could you change my order from a Ladies XL to a Ladies L. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Just FYI I think there was at least one order lost when the board was set back 12 hours yesterday. I noticed an order from Mentat which is now gone. Not sure if there were any others deleted as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Mr. X, could you change my order from a Ladies XL to a Ladies L. Thanks. Done. Just FYI I think there was at least one order lost when the board was set back 12 hours yesterday. I noticed an order from Mentat which is now gone. Not sure if there were any others deleted as well. Hmmm, good point. Anyone who ordered or thinks they ordered should check the list in the first post and let me know if your name is missing. (or check to see if your post was eaten by the board and just repost your order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filippa Eilhart Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 just in case anyone from Europe wonders if a medium would be a good fit, I went ahead and measured like 10 of my medium sized tshirts in the widest bit. They range from 15 to 17 inches, so it should be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of City of Bayonne Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'll check, but I don't think the shirts are available in Tall sizes.If not, the regular XLs will be fine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
