Which Shirts Are Right for You?


Which Shirts Are Right for You?

We know that all women come in different shapes and sizes. Before you make any purchases on our fine online boutique store, it is important to take a look at our size chart that is one of the pictures when you click on the image of a shirt you are interested in. Keep in mind that we do offer options ranging from 10/12 – 22/24, but make sure you grab that plus size shirt before your size flies off the shelf! In order to make sure that we can provide you with a perfect fit and minimize any confusion or disappointment, Funfash has come up with a few helpful hints for making optimal measurements.

Measuring Hints

When measuring your bust, make sure to measure a complete area of your bust. It is important to remember that the measuring tape has to sit adequately to ensure both comfort and support will be met when you end up trying the shirt on. When it comes to your waist, you want the measuring tape to rest comfortably around the slimmest part of your waist. For your hips, put the measuring tape above your thigh and below your waist. Make sure the tape sits agreeably around your body.

Body Shape

Maybe examining your body according to this method is not enough for you to be confident in your selection. Perhaps you need a little more advice as to your body shape, and that is okay! Funfash has come up with three common shapes that most plus size women tend to fit into. But please, always take these suggestions with a grain of salt as we all know that not everyone’s body can be put into a box. We want to make sure that you are happy and confident with the style you are trying to achieve. This might mean shopping around and having a look at all of the plus size shirts on offer in order to make sure you have considered many options to suit your needs.

Apple Shape
  • Broad shoulders.
  • Normal or full-size bust.
  • Slim arms.
  • Long legs.
  • Bust is usually larger than hips.
  • Undefined waist.
  • Bottom may be flat.
  • Broad torso.
If the Apple Shape description fits you, then you might want to consider looking for plus size shirts that cloak your middle section. Plus size tops that have an extended neckline are great for Apple Shapes because they casually compliment your bust.

Hour Glass Shape
  • A visible or more defined waist.
  • Consider your body as two inverted triangles. Your bust is the top triangle while your hips represent the bottom triangle. The point at which these two triangles meet is your waist.
  • Your full bust width is usually the same size as your hips.
If your body seems to be of the hour glass persuasion, you want to emphasize your waist while making sure your evenly distributed hips and bust is proportionately well represented. As an hour glass lass, you want to compliment your curvy bust and hips, but you must consider your waist as the center of attention as it will usually be the sharpest point of contrast for the rest of your body.

Pear Shape
  • Bottom tends to be larger than the upper torso
  • Bust may be smaller than bottom
  • Hips and thighs are usually broader than shoulders and bust
  • You might have a slightly curved back
  • Tiny, distinct waist
Women who classify as having the Pear Shape tend to have a larger bottom. But this is nothing to worry about! We want you to feel positive and self-assured in what you choose, so we recommend accentuating and showing off that most curvaceous part of your body. Peplum, A-line, and detailed shoulder tops will help create more of balance in your figure.
We hope that these measuring hints and shape tips will help you find the perfect plus size shirt that is right for you. However, remember that this is only meant to be a general guide, as putting a woman’s figure into distinct categories is the last thing we want to do at Funfash. We know that every woman is unique and we want to celebrate that fact. Our wide range of plus size shirts for women are designed to accommodate every woman’s preference, style and body type, so that no matter who you are, you can find the perfect outfit. Regardless of the occasion, Funfash will have something that can help you look and feel your best.
