What do you do when outfits are fit tightly at the sleeves and are huge everywhere else? If you workout and/or have batwing arms how do you find clothes that fit?

Perhaps this sizing chart will help. Here in the U.S. we have different “departments” such as junior, misses, womens, plus.

My nephew was Mr. Tennessee for several years. he was obsessed with his body and weight lifting. his arms were huge. he had this same problem as most other body builders. fortunately for him, he was married to a seamstress that loved to sew. his wife would buy shirts from the big mans department and cut them down to size to fit his body.

As @john65pennington has said, it might be a good idea to invest in a tailor. Buy clothes that fit your arms and have them taken in. You’ll like them better and wear them more if they fit you properly.

Lately I have thought about taking sewing classes to make clothes that fit me well and are the style I want. Most likely more expensive clothing will fit better. Have you tried vendors like Anne Klein or Tahari?

Also, I wanted to add that many garments are made very large in the body right now because people are fat. So it is not only a function of maybe you have slightly larger arms, I think it might also be that you are more fit in the torso then most women. My husband is a very average build and all of the coats he tried on recently were tight in his arm and huge around the middle, which is kind of how Americans are shaped today.

I wouldn’t know?

Wear sleeveless shirts or wife beaters.
