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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

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.

I'm 6'5" and I have this problem. I have to buy fitted T's otherwise it looks like I'm wearing a poncho. The biggest headache is gifts. I'm tall, not fat, so a XXL or XXXL it's not going to work

Have you tried looking online. It'll probably be more expensive and time consuming but you should find at least one website with your size.

Hi, try the Duluth Trading webside. They have man and woman shirts which are longer than regular shirts. I got a long side too, but the shirt from them are 3" (7,5cm) longer than regular shirts.

My dad is 6'4, too, and the Big and Tall sections at various department stores (particularly J.C. Penney's) is great for him. They have stuff that is just tall or just big, not necessarily both. He also has to order in his dress shoes whenever he needs a replacement. And if all else fails, maybe you have a new career?

Longer shirts are available - they'll be labeled with a t. Like LT, XLT, etc. My boyfriend gets them from speciality stores that carry plus sizes, both wide and tall.
