TeeFury junior sizing review 2XL

I thought I would write up a little review of my recent purchase with TeeFury. I usually just order an XL woman’s when I am ordering t-shirts as that is what I usually am. I am around a size UK 14 in tops and sometimes a UK 12, so I find the fact that woman’s sizing in t-shirts comes up so small. I mean why is it junior sizing? Should it not be designed for woman like men’s are designed to fit men rather than children? Heh that is a whole other rant I have pent up inside me.

So I have been looking redbubble and TeeFury recently and the reviews they have for sizing has put me off somewhat at times. TeeFury now do a woman’s size and a junior size, from what I read online the woman’s sizing came up bigger (but shorter) but was also fairly un-shapely much like men’s t-shirts. So I got out a t-shirt that fitted me nicely measured it and was surprised that according to the size guide I would be a 2XL in juniors. I have a long body so I wanted the extra length and I also have a little waist and bigger hips so I wanted it to be more fitted so I went with the junior sizing.

It took a while to arrive but not too long considering it came all the way from America to England. When I opened it I was quite pleased with the size of it, until I went to put it on. It is SUPER un-stretchy. Most my other t-shirts have a fair amount of stretch to them so they are usually really comfy and fit nicely. Considering this t-shirt is a size larger than what I usually order it was annoying it came up quite a bit smaller (mostly around my hips). However it did fit nicely and it is exceptionally long which is great.

Above is my XXL junior's TeeFury shirt compared to a XL men's Threadless shirt.

The quality is nice too and although it is pretty un-stretchy it is soft and comfortable. The print on it is a little rubbery, it isn’t as high quality compared to say Threadless or TeeTurtle t-shirts I own, but it does feel like it will last and I don’t think wash off easily or crack.

To the design itself it is beautiful. Yuri!!! On Ice is my favourite anime (and anything) at the moment and that last scene with them skating together was just perfect so I absolutely love having Yuuri and Victor pair skating on a t-shirt! The colours are vibrant and it is printed well, really crisp and bright.!

Overall I would say give TeeFury a go as they are really cheap for the t-shirt of the day and even their full priced t-shirts! I paid $13.36 including postage which is crazy reasonable. I would suggest following their sizing guide strictly on their website as they do run really small and if you are above a UK 14 I would advise avoiding the junior sizing!

I do absolutely love t-shirts and I have my eye on a Redbubble one at the moment!

Christmas Wish List

So in 2 weeks’ time I will be doing my second to last day at WDR. Then I will be venturing off and starting my new career at Metropolis. I am really looking forward to it. I’ve really hit a point here where I am getting quite stale and annoyed. I have to do a lot of work that I don’t actually want to do and I spend way too much time procrastinating. Plus we moved desks again last week and I hate the seat that I have now got. I have my back to the whole room and it’s just not that comfortable in here, but I got the crummy seat because I leave soon so I guess it’s not forever!

So on good news the countdown to Christmas is started, well it started for me back on October haha! I have asked for some bits of clothes for Christmas. It helps that I am liking clothes much more than I was with my weight lose! I have more confidence to wear what I want.

Bag – Next

Dress – A Wear

T-Shirt – H! by Henry Holland

Skirt – New Look

I also have some more geeky bits I’ve getting too of course! Wouldn’t be right without those! A Loki Pop Funko Figure and a Doctor Who soft toy! I’m sure I will track more down bwahaha! I would love some boots but I’m giving up on finding any!

I was hoping to do some christmasy things this year, such as going to winter wonderland. However I dunno if I will go. I am planning on going to Nottingham next weekend to stay with Laura and Sammi so I am looking forward to that! I think I will visit some garden centres too as they are awesome at Christmas time! :)

Lots to look forward to in December!

I have also been working on a design; it is an avatar on me. I’ve always wanted on to use and I have worked on a few but never been overly happy and I have felt like it’s needed updating for a while. It’s interesting to look at where I started and see where I took it!

This is where I am at the moment. I think she has a much better shape and lots of character! I’m hoping to finish her/me this week. I would like to start a Christmas design soon too so hopefully I can get both done and finished before Christmas rolls around, and it is rolling around bloody quickly!

Nearly gave up on my blog, but i'm back yay

I haven’t updated in a while, I almost gave up on this blog. I have decided not to! I’m finally feeling much better since I came out of the hospital. I finished my anti-biotics on the Thursday and I still didn’t feel great and was very deaf. By the weekend my ear was leaking loads again and I felt awful, really poorly again. I went back to the Doctors on the Monday and she made me feel like I was making stuff up. She reluctantly gave me anti-biotics, told me I had no hole in my ear drum and said I just had a small outer ear infection. I was still feeling like death on Wednesday so I called the Hospital and went back to get looked at on the Thursday. The doctor there couldn’t see in my ear because of all the junk that was in there so he had to have it cleaned up. Once cleaned, there was still a hole and I still had a middle ear infection. I changed medication as the ones the first doctor gave me made me feel very sick…. Luckily I am now finally after almost 4 weeks feeling better and my hearing is almost back.

Me and Matt bought a new bed last week. It took us almost a week to sort all the crap under the bed out. I didn’t even find the crap I was hoping to find under there either boo!

It cost us around £360 for the bed and mattress which I thought was pretty good value! It’s an ottoman bed so we have lots of storage under it. I came home and Matt had built it on Wednesday (a week after he cut up the old bed) and took me out for dinner. As you can see me in my new dress sitting on my new bed wooo!

It was a nice evening we went and had pizza express and its been so lovely to sleep in. We downgraded to a double rather than a king-size and it has given us soooo much more room to move around! It’s such a pleasure to sit in and has really given me a kick to keep the room as clean as possible!

While shopping for under bed storage in tesco I was naughty and bought this pretty swesome Star Trek t-shirt which I am saving for when I go see Star Trek into Darkness on Friday. Oh I forgot I saw Iron Man in the Imax two Fridays ago. It was such a GOOOOOOD FILM! But yeah my awesome new t-shirt I really liked it and it was only £8 woop!

I really am a dork so what better way to show that by going to see Star Trek dressed in Star Trek ahah!

Other than I really haven’t been up to much. We had dinner with Matt’s Dad a few weeks ago and I discover the restaurant Chiquitos. Goodness I could eat there right now I’m starving! My healthy eating has kinda been in swing got a bit messed up after the hospital but from this day forth I shall be sticking to it. Its getting warmed now and I was hoping to be much lighter and feel much more comfortable with myself by now and I’m annoyed that I don’t and I keep being a piggy! Alas.

I’ve gotten quite into doing my nails recently and have been trying so nail art. My mum gave me and my sister a gift of a nail art brush thing from Avon and its inspired me to do some nail art! Friday I got braver than mere polka dots and did cupcakes. I’m actually really pleased with how they turned out and today at lunch I saw Barry M have started to do nail art pens so I got one and I’m very excited to try it! I’m not sure what I am going to do tonight. I may try sailor nails! Or possibly stars!! Oooh exciting! The cupcakes took hours though!!! I need to find a design tonight that will not take hours!! Ahaha!

I shall end this ramble here as I am at work and I have about an hour till I get to go home. I really hope it goes as quick as humanly possible! I just want to get home, eat and play with my nails!
