I think that would be really cute. Unfortunately the hoodie only comes in M and L. Our rush chair did send me the specs for the baby tee and the XL fits sizes 12-16. It's a little smaller than me, but apparently they are supposed to be very stretchy so I might end up getting a baby tee afterall.

I still wish there were more options though.

Wow - the hoodie probably wouldn't fit me either then as I am rather busty and have really broad shoulders. You could always get the baby tee and try and stretch it before recruitment if there is time - I have a really cute hand-me-down one from my pledge mom that I stretched on a dressmakers model thing and it fits great now.

I wish some of the GLO clothing makers would offer more sizes - I really want the cute yoga pants but the large fits a size 8. Since when is that a large? :confused: One thing I sometimes do to get a cute "fitted" shirt is order stitch letters in a medium tee when I normally take a large - that way it's closer to my body but isn't the stretchy fabric that looks so horrible!

I hope that your sisters are more considerate of you in the future...it makes me glad there are a lot of full-figured women in my chapter so this doesn't happen.

I PM'd you :)

Yeah I know on RC Sportswear they had these cute little straight legged sweatpants and I wanted a pair but XL was equivilent(sp?) to a size 10.

I'm all for the cute little tops and such, and if I was smaller I of course wouldn't have a problem. However, it will be impossible for me to lose the weight needed to fit perfectly into one of those tees in a month.

Hopefully for winter rush I'll either have lost a lot more weight or they'll have some more options for clothing.

I will, however bring that up in chapter when we're all back at school. I would hate for any girl to feel excluded in any situation.

Those are the exact pants I wanted - someday they will fit me! :D

There are pants similar to those from RC sportswear from the company we are ordering our recuitment clothes from. It the American Apparel Company.

Here's the link if you want to check out the pants.Relaxe Pant

Thanks to Cherub for giving me the URL for the company.

Yeah, that's we do. Our recruitment chair will go out to a bunch of stores and then pick say a pair of shorts from 3 stores and say you must have one of these 3 pairs. The stores range in how they fit and how pricey they are. It makes dress checks really easy because if you don't have the right thing then we just say sorry we told you and then make them get the correct piece. As for making people buy something they may already have....It's just something that they have to do, it's part of being greek at the UA....

I feel bad for all the women who have such strict chapter rules regarding clothing. Whether you are on the small end or the big end you get screwed. My chapter was dominated by bigger girls and we've ordered shirts and not even been able to get a small! (i'm 5'1") I like the chapters that have guidlines but not ordering your clothes for you. I would love to have a shirt that ACTUALLY fits me for once! Sometimes this just sucks. :) oh wells! Good luck getting your clothing figured out, my heart goes out to you, it is tough!

recruitment clothes
 

Our recruitment clothes are very stricktly regimented and we put someone in charge of dress checks whos not affraid to tell one of the girls that they need to change something, in a nice tactful way of course!

As for suggestions Victoria Secrets has yoga pants on sale right now, I think they were around $30 the last time I checked.

We had a similar issue with songfest** costumes last year. They started with everyone in tank tops, then later decided that the girls could all pick b/t tanks or baby-tees. It turned out really nice, I'm about a size four and 5'8' and the medium fit me with extra room. The not as delicately boned girls who ordered baby-tes were fine in larges and extra larges.

**songfest- is three moths of practicing to do a five minute singing and dancing routine in front of the entire campus, it's extremely competitive between sororities (ie it's not till april and practices start as right after christmas break), and it makes you hate your life especially in the last few weeks, but in the end you love it and sign up again for it the next year- basically not something everyone feels comfprtable doing in a tank
