So my #AlwaysKeepfighting shirt finally arrived and I think they heard about me putting on weight because...

Yeah, it's nearly twice as wide as me. Ha ha ha! So now I need to find a crop top or something similar to wear underneath it because the arm holes come down to my waist.
I take it that LJ's outage this afternoon was so they could add these stupid buttons to my posting page (that I've deleted because I don't want to repost to twitter or tumblr thanks very much. Or have someone else repost? Dunno if that is a thing?). Huh.

I love the purple!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The blue is nice too. But purple's my fave. :D

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

It looks super-cute with your chestnut hair! (Just throw a gray tanktop underneath; there'll be no side-boob, hee!)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

yay! You think my hair is chestnut! That's the colour I was trying for... Sideboob? More like whole loin complete with fat rolls LOL!!!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

I'd love to know who's arms those armholes would fit! It's a lovely colour though and with something underneath will look great.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Clif, probably! But yeah, love the colour and with something underneath it's fine - unlike your gigantic bed sheets! LOL

Looks awesome - I love the purple, it really suits you!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The purple is great! And thanks. :D

Got mine today as well and have the same problem.
Guess the regular tank-top was just supposed to be for men :(
I tried wearing a regular white tank-top under it, but it still seems pretty wide. I'm actually trying to figure out if someone with some sewing skills could alter it for me.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Your problem will be worse than mine as you are half my size too...

[herminekurotowa.livejournal.com]

You did well with the colour, but the size... *shakes head* Try it with something black or grey.

That's why I never order clothes on the 'net, they never fit. :(

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Heh well, at least the money went to a good cause! :D

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

Purple looks greaaat on you!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks!

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

I love wearing Show shirts in public, the in-jokes are obscure enough that 99% of people won't look twice, except for that one person...

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

True - and then we can have a bonding experience!

[sleepypercy.livejournal.com]

OOOH the purple looks GOOD on you though.

Lol. I totally dare you to walk out of the house like that without the extra crop top.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Um ... NO! The world is not ready for that.

[heavenli24.livejournal.com]

Very nice :). Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago - I almost went for a purple one (purple is one of my favourite colours), but decided on navy instead because I thought it might be a bit too bright.

I couldn't get a good selfie with my face in it too (it's difficult to hold the phone and take a picture with one hand, while still keeping it still!), so I just have a photo of the t-shirt:

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Look at you, skinny milinky! :D

[heavenli24.livejournal.com]

Lol - it's just the camera angle (and the weird distortion that a phone camera gives photos) :P.

P.S. Mine is actually a little bit tight around the neck and arms, and although Represent will do exchanges if it doesn't fit, you have to pay the return postage back to California and they can't guarantee they will have the size you want!

I emailed them regarding exchanging mine for a bigger size and they said the following:

"I’m sorry if you’re unhappy with your order. You can ship us your item with a clear note of the size needed, and if we do not have the correct size we will issue you a full refund upon receipt."

Of course, I didn't want to risk sending it back and then them not having the right size and just giving me a refund, because then I wouldn't have donated any money and I wouldn't have a Moose and Squirrel shirt at all!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I see on SSA on FB that other people have had problems with their shirts being too small - which is worse really. Yeah, I wouldn't risk an exchange and at least I can wear this (with something underneath (and I quite like that it's also dress length LOL!)

[sigrundora.livejournal.com]

Mine apparently came today as well. Need to pay customs and VAT tho before I get it :(

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh boo! But you can claim the charges back from Represent, apparently they are very good about it.

[sigrundora.livejournal.com]

You can? Wow, that's cool. We always have to pay customs and VAT on things we buy online. But I have to look into this thing with Represent when I get back to the city :)

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

hahah, did anyones fit???

I do like the color though. It's a nice compliment with your skin tone/hair!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Or my choice of hair dye...LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Mine did O_O which was highly dodgy as it was a large! O_O

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

The purple is glorious, and it suits your colouring wonderfully, but the size, O_O! lol! But you can ear a tank top and it'll look fab :D
