I have to buy to fit my hips first. So if I buy a 5x shirt, it will fit my hips but be baggy and lose at my shoulders which would be fine with a 2x or 3x depending. I've rarely had long enough sleeves and while I don't have the issue quite to the extend that you experience, it is a pain. <br /><br />My fiance is just a few inches taller than I am but she has a longer torso and shorter legs, and no butt. Her pants and underwear often fall down and we have to hem up her pants else she walks on them. She also has a horrible time finding comfortable bras. She's in an H cup right now but we suspect she would be more comfortable in a J cup. However just trying to find H cups are so difficult. She'd basically stuck getting them from Lane Bryant and they are expensive. crimsonlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586441423386494027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-77106375290224659942016-12-23T10:56:09.126-07:002016-12-23T10:56:09.126-07:00My personal nemesis?

I have issues but I'm the complete opposite to yourself. I'm a 5ft1 and pear,so I have slim waist but a huge bottom and large biceps meaning I need go for the next size up and its too large. So I find wearing woven tops a nightmare prefer stretchy fabric and so glad I can sew. Also. I often avoid man made fabrics and prefer natuel fabrics.

Being tall or long in any way is a good impetus for learning to sew.<br /><br />The reverse is true for me - winter is worse. When it's 10 degrees outside, even I need a sweater, boots and gloves... but then it's 78 degrees inside buildings. I always feel like Mr. Rogers when I arrive at work, peeling off my sweater and changing my boots for flats.<br /><br />I wish there were so many things to help with overheating! I have two fans, but there's not much else I can do.<br /><br />For a brief, blissful time, I had an office with its own thermostat. I kept it at 66 degrees in the winter. People would walk in and say in a hateful tone, "It's freezing in here!" I put up a large thermometer with the 32 degree freezing point marked and a sign that said, "No, it's not." so that I could just point to it in reply. :PJ.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-1472707711112052712016-12-21T21:08:36.021-07:002016-12-21T21:08:36.021-07:00Winters here are super dry, like below 20% humidit...Winters here are super dry, like below 20% humidity, and polyester becomes a nightmare because of the static electricity. When I take my dogs' fleece blankets out of the dryer, I feel like I'm going to electrocute myself. Pulling them apart produces LOUD crackling and visible sparks. :O (I have now learned to greatly reduce the static by using vinegar in the rinse cycle.)<br /><br />I have that fit problem as well, with a bottom half two sizes larger. It's frustrating.

I can almost hear them thinking, "Is she insane?! Or was that sarcasm?" XD<br /><br />I always wear sleeves outside to protect myself from the intense sun. In summer, I wear a light cotton cardigan. In winter, I wear a heavier cardigan... because when the temperature is well below freezing, even I need a sweater. ;)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-6219361057469208702016-12-21T20:33:49.028-07:002016-12-21T20:33:49.028-07:00Freezing is no fun either.

If I want my sleeves to reach my wrists, I need a size large and have to take it in everywhere else. My opinion matches yours on 3/4 sleeves. Hence why I sew.<br /><br />I'm totally the opposite in terms of warmth though. Summer is actually worse, because I'll dress for the outside weather and then the air conditioning everywhere is set at Arctic temperatures. You would faint if you saw my office: slippers, fuzzy socks, gloves, a fleece jacket, a microfleece blanket, and a tea maker.

What I loathe is polyester, if I wear it once I can never get of the sweat smell :(<br /><br />As far as fit is concerned, I have two problems: breasts smaller than the smallest bra and a big butt. My bottoms are two sizes larger than my tops and I always have that awful waist gap. No dresses for me, either, unless they are very flared. As a taller than average girl myself, I recommend armwarmers/gauntlets.BlackKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014093330317682849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-56554274941106461652016-12-21T11:28:45.960-07:002016-12-21T11:28:45.960-07:00It's good that you know what style fits you we...It's good that you know what style fits you well.

Your comfort is much more important than the looks people will give you. You can try getting long armwarmers (by long I mean the ones that reach armpits or so) and wear it with sleeveless tops if cold will start to bother you (. Also you can try removing sleeves from thin stretchy cardigans, you'll have a layer of clothing (and these are always a good idea), but won't really give you extra warmth. And these removed sleeves can be be reused as armwarmers after simple alteration to make them hug your arms.Rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973135277948728309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-12359069221591812632016-12-20T22:09:52.409-07:002016-12-20T22:09:52.409-07:00I have the opposite problem...
