Altering Japanese-Sized T-shirts so Western-Sized Women Can Wear Them

Topics: Clothing, Clothing Alterations

I often find women's tops that have colors or patterns I like, but which, as a large American woman, I just can't fit. Sometimes I still buy them, if they're anywhere near my size. One idea is to split the side seams and sew the too-small shirt _on top of_ a plain one that fits. Another is to split the side seams and bridge the gap at the sides by sewing in panels cut from another T that fits. (Maybe I wouldn't have to destroy another shirt; maybe could use the excess cut from the longer "tails" that men's Ts have.)
