Sewn on letter clothing

antonialfeo · #1 07-10-2008, 10:00 AM

Hey everyone. I'm a pretty small girl (95lbs, wear an XS) and have a hard time finding clothing with letters that will fit me nicely. Can anyone help me out? I'm really just looking for fitted t-shirts and long sleeves. Thank you!

I don't think you want sewn on letters on a fitted t shirt....they would look kind of lumpy.

It doesn't have to be tight. However I'm always swimming in the regular t-shirts they use.

sounds like you'll have to go to michael's or a craft store to cut out the letters yourself.

ETA - do letters come in more than one size? i could have sworn a little while ago someone posted about getting letters larger than the traditional size (4 inches? i don't know the measurement). maybe they come smaller as well.

You probably want 2 inch letters instead of 4 inch letters. The above example came from www.greekave.com

When our t-shirt chair used to order tees, she would order a handful of youth larges for the smaller girls!

Girls from my university's Greek system order shirts from the local Greek store "All that JAS." They have a ton of colors and sizes. You could order a fitted youth sized t-shirt. The fitted shirts skim the body more so you might have a better time with fit. The website is: http://www.allthatjas.com/

Our chapter requires fitted letter t's for one of our recruitment rounds and we have found the two inch letters work much better. Any bigger just looks overwhelming.

With my fitted shirts and the ones I made for my littles, I always used the 4 inch letters. I think they work for two letters, but I could see how three letters would be overwhelming.

greekave has a crazy clearance section! You have to look, but you can really get a deal.

Letters come in lots of sizes. I think that it depends on how many different sized machines a store has, or something to that effect.

My Greek store has a sign with a letter of each size stuck on it.

I guess you just have not looked all too hard:

As for being new, check your own history.
Seems to have been around since 1998.
Uh-did someone fail their pledge test?

I'm sure he and his brothers fall short in MANY areas....

Has anyone ordered this in a size small? How big was it? I'm pretty small (size 1 or 0, 90 lbs) and want to know if this thing is going to be swimming on me.
