I’m struggling to believe that the same person fit in both tops.

    I used to manage a pub and when hiring new staff and giving them their branded uniform t shirt (that were provided by the head office from the parent company), I had to explain to the girls that yes, you are xxxl if you want a “female” shirt, and yes most of it is boob space. Most opted for the men’s xs because it actually fit a human body.

    Unsurprisingly we had a ton of women’s small shirts in storage because they never got used. They were basically baby sized…

    I do sometimes regret buying all my female tops with my flat chest in mind. And for buying so many of them… Not the worst problem to have though.

      Haha, yes, even with my meager assets tight tops are definitely starting to draw attention!

    Is the “Girl Top” made of a stretchy material or something? I don’t see this making sense otherwise.

      OK, to be fair: it’s stretchy fabric, a shorter cut and a tighter fit. But I have slimmed down a lot, I promise!

      And the boy top is too big for me to reasonably wear now, although it used to be pretty comfortable.

    I used to wear men’s large/medium shirts depending on how the sizes for the particular item were, now I wear a women’s medium/small. I haven’t lost weight it just turns out I was wearing shirts that didn’t fit for many years

      It does. That’s because it’s a manly shirt, for manly men, just like I was trying (and failing) to be.

      But I don’t recall ever putting anything in them. They just used to catch on door handles all the time.
