>> "These measurements, they are not possible." <<
Yeah, I have that problem trying to fit my tits into petite tops. It's like they think short women have no curves. By the time I can button the front, the sleeves are usually hanging off my hands. It's maddening. This is why most of my clothes are knit fabrics.
>> Well, when you get past a certain point the extra larging is assuming that there is gut involved in the equation. <<
One problem is that simple sizes tend to scale straight up. But people's bodies don't do that, even before accounting for different proportions within a certain area of the garment.
>> Steve's tshirts would look like the largest 'babydoll' to skim his washboard and not cause a riot in frozen foods. <<
I think he does like a closer fit, compared with Bruce who prefers clothing baggy enough to hide in. Steve would be so much happier if he'd let Tony take him to a tailor, because Tony likes fitted clothes too. But Steve is just now starting to get the hang of shopping as a community service. It's still going to take a little while for him to warm up to the idea of buying nice things, not just because he can afford them, but to help out the creative folks who make a living that way. He's done it with birthday cards, but clothing is a much bigger purchase.
>> (There is a fic with a funny scene, when Tony realizes that the Avengers are supposed to meet and greet and of course none of the men have tuxedos. He doesn't have Thor with him. The tailor nearly faints seeing Steve given the turn around time. Tries to believe there is an error about Thor's measurement. Is shown a picture using Steve as scale.) <<
*laugh* I would love to see that. I want to get Hulk to Tony's tailor eventually, because that will be a lot easier than dragging Bruce there.
