So odd request. I'm wondering if someone skinnier then me would like a funny play on words sim t-shirt and if they could do a swap. The story is I bought a few things from the Boolprop store. It isn't really the BP store as far as I can tell, but part of it is sells BP products. I also bought a coffee mug. The shop is called Zazzle and they were advertising the shop on the BP forums. They had a free shipping code for Australia! I can't resist free shipping. Anyway I bought a funny T-Shirt. It's a play on sims. Across the front it say: "Real Life The Ultimate Role-Playing Game" There are other words too, all pertaining to the joke. It's cream organic cotton and I bought it in a 'large' >cough< I am not at all up on American ladies clothing sizes. What turned up looks like medium to me! or even a large small. I can get into it..but it's very close fitting. Not a good look for someone with permanent post child tummy. And here I was hoping for something loose. Heck maybe even extra large will be too small. I might need a men's. How tiny are Americans? It's crazy. I'm plumpish but not THAT fat! Anyway here is the site www.zazzle.com/ I bought from the Australian site, that should be the American one. I think it's just a ladies casual scoop in the colour 'Natural.' If you type in Boolprop that area comes up. www.zazzle.com/boolprop+gifts You can see the design right on that page. Or maybe I should just return it.

I'm an extra large myself, so I won't be much help!

Trust me, Jo, Americans are NOT small as a rule. More than half of us are overweight. I can't be of any help either because I am into the x-tra large set as well, unfortunately. Some things are just sized smaller than others, so sometimes it's hard to tell.

Am I too small as an english small then? I'm not sure what I am in the US, I'm size 6 over here if that helps... and for anyone thinking I'm super skinny, don't worry I'm just tiny overall - 5'1'' tall. But it might fit me?

UK sizes must be different too. When I was super skinny I was a size 8 here. Anyway i put it flat on the table amd measured across from one seam to the other and it came to just a smideg over 43cm or 17 inches on it's narrowest part. I think it's a little fitted so it goes in some then out. The length is from the front neck binding down 54 1/2 cm or 21 1/2 inches long.

These days I need to have my t-shirts baggy in order to feel comfortable, so really I wear sizes that are too big for me. But, I do NOT want anything tight-fitting over my protruding belly because it's quite embarrassing to me. My belly makes me look like I'm about nine months pregnant because of the Predisone I'm forced to take. It sucks, I tell you!

I wear a men's medium, but I doubt my mom would be okay with me shipping and/or getting something from Australia. Sorry, Jo.

Sawyer you need to read the post! I am wanting to swap a ladies large! It isn't cut for a male. Sorry to sound mean, but I should have also said I only want to deal with adults. I don't want kids parents going "What the heck!" Hope you understand.

I'm still trying to work out sizes, I've never bought any clothes online so I'm not sure how it would fit me. Might have to look into the measurements you posted up Jo, but it'll have to be tomorrow as today is our Christmas Day!
