How do you think these look best on girls? I want to get a Pixies shirt off the internet, but I'm not sure whether to get:

a) a girl's one, which comes in one size only (how inconvenient, but it'd almost certainly fit me as I'm an 8-10)
b) a small boy's size so it's a loose fit
c) customise a boy's size shirt (like a giant shirt cut up and turned into a t shirt dress to wear over jeans, or...I don't know, ribbons up the side.)

edit: I doubt that I'd be able to manage the customising, but I'd have a go on one of my dad's old shirts before doing it to a nice new Pixies t!

I would say it depends on your shape and what you generally wear. For example, if your a bit indie or a bit boyish then you might want to get a men's small with some skinny fit jeans...If you have curves to define on the other hand, you might want to try a girls skinny fit. And I think customizing with ribbons is perhaps for very girly girls?

Yeah, the ribbons thing was just a random suggestion; I mean where you cut holes up the sides and tie the ribbon through, but I think it'd probably look a bit silly on me. I'm not really an uber-girly girl. I have this idea that a big shirt would look sort of cool as a dress, but I don't know how I'd go about doing that. I might have that as tomorrow's project.

those one fit size shirts are rediculasly small. i got a fantomas one and i am a size 8 but it was more like a size 6

however i have a small boys metallica one (dont ask) and it fits alrightish bit baggy but still quite fitted and a good length

ive also customised a large mens sonic youth one which i just cut abit from the edges and sewed to make it more "fitted" which only took around 2 hours hand sewn and was not hard at all to do (would take about 10-20 mins on a sewing machine haha)

That sounds good....just make sure the image on the front/ back of the t-shirt doesn't stretch out horizontally too much because I suppose you'd really need to take it in at the sides that way. A friend of mine once bought a meat is murder t-shirt, only after she'd altered it, it ended up saying "eat is murder".

I want a Pixies shirt! I'd go with the girls one. Even if it was too small the right shape would be there and maybe you could get alterations to let it out if need be. I certainly perfer the fitted babydoll ones. Boys loose fitting band shirts are bad anyway, they always make you look bigger.

I have a small boys fit Pixies t-shirt and its HUGE and I'm a size 8-10 UK size

yeah you can go on www.ohmystars.net

they have lots of stuff about customizing tshirts
i made a super big tshirt from my ex into a cool tanktop dress

much love

don't you dare ruin a pixies shirt by adding ribbons!

buy a guys shirt.

make your own

buy a tshirt the way you like it to fit, get iron on transfer paper and print off whatever you want

they actually look really good

i'm all ghetto

i've made a tshirt or two in my day like that

You can try customizing one but practice on a cheaper shirt first (like those $2 shirts at the grocery store) to figure out how you want it. Otherwise, get a girl's shirt, IME "one size fits all" tends to run big. Sometimes places like Urban Outfitters will have band shirts in different sizes and cuter styles, too.

If you have a boy's one and it's not the right size people might think you're just borrowing your boyfriend's shirt. Which you might not want them to think.

too many times i have bought huge band tees thinking 'i will make it look cool as a tshirt dress' or something similar. it NEVER works. if you are smallish i would recommend just getting a slimfit girls' tee and wearing it as is. i really don't like the look of the "customised" shirts, esp not one shoulder or whatever was suggested above.

I like skinny fit tees.
Customizing never turns out like you'd hope.

skinny fit t's are always the best for me

I mostly like to bust out my vintage tees. Like my Iggy shirt, which is rad. I like to wear it to the bar , so I can make his mouth move while the music is on...I get a lot of tips like that. I usually duet with a customer.

one size fits shirts do tend to be size 8-10 with stretch so they stretch to busty 12s
just no fat arms alloud!

I'm currrrrvy and so the 'skinny-fit' ones aren't good: they're never long enough and I don't like a shirt being that tight

I hated the idea of wearing a big, baggy one that'd make me look like a sack of spuds. The nice man suggested I try a normal, non-skinny t-shirt but in a size 'small'. It's brilliant: it's fitted, but not skintight, and I'm not forever having to fiddle and pull it down at the bottom. I just took the sleeves up a centimetre or two and it looks great, if I do say so myself

Wish I'd known earlier!

Girls wearing large boys' t-shirts looks gross... I used to wear shirts like that in high school until I realized that I don't want to wear baggy, unfeminine clothes. Then I started customizing my shirts. It is a risk, because if you don't know what you're doing you could ruin it. So practice first.... or maybe you could even bring it to a tailor or something?
