Re: What does a gap in T-shirt mean?

[ Edited ]

You just have to try different brands.  Denim & CO cuts for larger shoulder back and arms.  Isaac shirts fit me.  Lands End's Pima T's are just that a "T".  No shape. 

 

You just have to shop until you find one that fits then buy everything they make!!!!! 

 

Every brand fits differently!  Even expensive ones!

A tee-shirt 'gap' is essentially the same thing as 'relaxed-fit' meaning it will fit loosely. A 'fashion' tee is fitted around the arms, shoulders and torso.

Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly but I think she means that if she holds her arms straight out to the side of her body, someone standing beside her could see her bra, arm pits, and a few inches of skin. The sleeve isn't snug enough to provide coverage. 


@santorini 

I think you may be correct. I'm not 100% sure what she means either.

@Allthingsgirly67   See @Zhills post I re-posted below, she explained so clearly.  Not every item of clothes fits the way that you like.  See bodies below.  Same size, the t-shirts will fit different, find a different t-shirt that fits the way you like.

 

If this far in your life, this is the first garment that doesn't fit you how you like, you have lived a blessed fashion life.

Here is my theory! 

 

This is a size 14 model from Google.

Look at the difference in the size of their arms

 

The shirt was made to fit the 1st one!  They are the majority!  Find a different brand or designer!

You would want a smaller size to get rid of the gap but you may not like the fit elsewhere when going smaller.

No I mean it doesn’t fit in the underarm hole, it gaps. The picture above shoes her sleeve fitted to her arms. Not mine.
