No Skirt? No Problem! Just Use A Shirt.

Once I had nothing to wear to a white party so I made one white T-shirt into an off-the shoulder top, and another into a skirt by cutting off the sleeves and sewing up the armholes.

The Many, Myriad Sizes In Your Emotionally Manipulative Closet
Trying on clothes recently, I found that the sizes of the garments varied. Widely. One shirt was a Large; another an XL, another an XXL. Pants ranged from 14 to 16 to 18 to 20.

Good News & Bad News About H&M's Plus-Size Collection
