I love the designs on TeeFury, but I was kind of put off with the size limitations for women's tshirts... like.. how do I put this... only teeny women with no breasts could wear those t-shirts!
How about finding t-shirts for gals that have a total chest size (front and back) up to 42 inches? I would have ordered a second shirt today (one for my son and one for me) if you had had that option...
Thanks!

Larger women definitely deserve larger sizes--though I don't know why you had to go and spit on those of us who don't require them since we wouldn't have even disagreed with you to begin with. It would be as needlessly antagonistic, rude, and make the same brainless assumptions as us telling you, "Well then lose some weight."
How's it goin', ladies?
Nah, just kidding. I do want to go ahead and lend my support to those scorned by the comments of the OP, here. Your body type and body size are in no way indicitive to your existence as a woman. It's not only ridiculous, but it is kind of setting things back a couple of decades. So, and I really hope this doesn't come off as both sexist and rude, but because you aren't as thin as some of the other women on this site, you get to say that they're not "REAL" women? This is going to sound bad, but that comes off as the comment of a larger woman who is insecure about their weight, and lashes out at smaller women to feel better about themselves.
"Real women have Curves!" Real women are...women. Tall, short, thin, fat, black, white...whatever, you are all women. That would be like me saying that I don't have a six-pack and 26" arms, those who do aren't real men. Being below average in fitness level, or larger than a medium shirt doesn't make you the standard, and others the outcasts. As yourself the question, and ask if this is the lesson you want your son to learn from you...how would you feel if those who have made threads on here (and there have been quite a few) asking for even SMALLER women's shirts, were to make those threads in this vain?
"I love the designs on this site but was off put by the excess size of the women's shirts. Only gigantic women with huge, fake breasts could wear those shirts, how about you offer more form-fitting shirts for us REAL women who aren't a size XXL?"
There would be.an.uproar. on this forum.
Think before you speak.
(Masokissed, I like the name mash-up, but you left out Hootie McBoob!)
I'm usually a L, but here I wear S for fitted, M for a looser fit. I think the sizes are really large, actually.
Next time, just ask if TeeFury could accommodate larger sizes, don't bash on the "normal" people. If XXL were the norm, it would be called Medium, not XXL.
p.s. i dont think the OP meant to be offensive but when larger or bustier gals have models shoved down out throats as ideal, we can get a tad snipey about clothing sizes. (size 12 - 14 used to be the norm but thanks to the whole supermodel thing, walking coathangers are considered normal now.) plus its very difficult to purchase clothing online. what fits at one place isn't always true at another.....even with measurements.
When I was young, I was small like penguinist.5 foot nine and 120 lbs ... now, two kids and 30 yrs later... I'm somewhere 14-18 depending on the fit. Not for lack of trying to control my body weight/size either...
I do find it frustrating when I find something so cool that I would love to wear, and I see that it probably won't fit.I was simply expressing that frustration ... and chose the wrong words - forgive me for making that faux pas.
Thanks for the notes re: sizing and stretchiness (that wasn't mentioned in the features)- and I will definitely be placing more orders... for the entire family!
I also agree OP should try an XL because the shirts do stretch really well. Well, the dark shirts do. I have a gray shirt and a white one, and they're much tighter in the chest than my black/blue shirts. BUT just for comparison, I have trouble wearing shirts from another site because they don't stretch well, and even an XL is really tight across my chest.
And good luck if you're still trying to change your weight/size. I have two kids too, and it's a challenge.
That said, I won't be ordering more until they offer XS or change to a line of shirts that fits more like (as I said) those on the other tee sites. I love all body shapes and sizes, including mine. And I just can't advocate wearing a shirt that doesn't flatter. No design is worth that.
Just fyi, but when 12-14 was "the norm," clothing sizing was different. A 12-14 in vintage sizing is about a 4-6 now. Yes, beauty standards have changed, but I hate this particular bit of misinformation.
