Today, I found out that shirt sizes don't get longer, they get wider. Being 6ft4, every shirt I try on makes me look like a cheap stripper. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML
Today, I wore a new shirt I was really pleased to have bought. As soon as I put it on, I noticed it was a bit tight, but I thought it would stretch out. By the end of the day, I looked like I was wearing a sausage casing. My coworkers couldn’t stop laughing. FML
Today, I realized that while I've been the same minuscule height for the past five years, my feet won't stop growing. I'm 5 foot and a size 12. I look like a clown. FML
Today, I wore a cute new striped shirt to work. One of my co-workers said to me, "I like your shirt. Most fat people don't look good in horizontals." FML
Today, I came to the unsettling realisation that the 2XL jacket that was originally 3 sizes too big for me is now a perfect fit. FML
Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some new shirts. I tried them on and none of them fit. When I walked out to return the shirts, everybody was staring at me. I looked down to see why. I'd forgotten to put my original shirt back on. FML
Today, after I'd ordered a cute dress online for an upcoming date, I tried it on, only to realise it was more of a glorified napkin than a dress. The tag online had said “One size fits all.” I now have a dress that fits my cat better than it fits me. FML
Today, I realized that I haven’t lost weight. All my clothes have just stretched to fit. FML
Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Do you live near a Big & Tall? My husband is also 6'4 and we have to go there or order his clothes online. It's the same with his shoes...he wears size 14!

You should try a big and tall store. Don't worry, you don't have to be big to shop there. They specialize in both. Watch out though, shopping for clothes that fit taller frames can get a bit pricey. Good luck! Didn't see number one before I typed my comment.

Custom made shirts or wear dresses as tshirts

Why on earth would he wear a dress?

I guess #13 was leaving it open to the possibility that the OP may habitually wear women's clothing or perhaps manly gowns in public. I hate to be presumptuous myself, but I think the likelihood of this is low enough to be negligible, #13.

did anyone else think about the fact that maybe the op is a woman?
AKAR2521 4
i dont see any indication of op being a man. it could be a woman, i could be wrong, just saying that everyone assumed it was a man, i think its a woman

Even if you can't see the word man...on the mobile app there is that little symbol with the arrow...meaning it's a dude.

Maybe #13 was thinking about those 80s dresses that are just overlong t-shirts. Don't see it working though.

How about a nice, manly kilt? They're dead butch and they let the boys breathe.

Tall people problems! I can relate my friend, fashion is a cruel mistress.

I laughed was too hard at this. I have that problem too though. And because I'm a girl I had to deal with crop tops being in style. I pretty much just shop online for my shirts.

I'm 6'6" and I wear a 2xl long just gotta buy the long sizes

6'9" here ... My advice: Go custom made! If you message me I can give you a few hints of where to look for stuff I gave up on "big&tall" stores a long time ago... these places only cater to fat and fatterer :-(

Not everyone can afford custom made. I know I can't.

Custom made can mean make it yourself, I make all my daughter's clothes and some of my own at a fraction of the price of buying them at the store. At the same time the price it would be to say, tailor a shirt, in addition to the price of that shirt can end up to custom made prices anyway. If you have nothing else to wear you need to make allowances for something a bit mor expensive.

I actually found Eterna brand shirts are only marginally more expensive, when custom made, than stock sizes. They aren't 20€ shirts, if that is what you're looking for, but usually they last me a good long time and are worth the price.
