Why doesn’t anyone ever think to make long sleeve merch.
For your short sleeve problem, I often buy T-shirt and wear them with a jacket or something, in the summer I find light ones that are more comfortable. Maybe it can help you?
I do that and I wear shells or sleeves.
My frustration is that I sometimes I do just want to put on a shirt I like and walk out the door without compromising on something important to me.
I have literally dozens of short sleeve shirts already from before I started keeping more tsnius and I know from experience that I don’t reach for them as often as the long sleeve shirts I do own.
It feels wrong to me to buy clothes I know I don’t want to wear and don’t feel as comfortable in.
I have enough shirts. I don’t actually NEED more. If I’m going to spend the money it should be on something that I really truly want.
That’s why my post was about merch. The things I enjoy make me happy and I like being able to share them with others. Wearing a t shirt with my favorite band or superhero or museum is a way to communicate the things that make me happy to the world.
I don’t want to fill my dresser with clothes that will either just sit in my drawer or become pajamas. I don’t want things I was initially excited about to become a burden.
And to some extent it’s not actually about the clothes at all but the constant reminder that the world is not set up for women like me to participate in. No one’s doing it on purpose; the world does not need to cater to me but the feeling of exclusion is still real and it hurts.
Especially when it’s Jewish artists and companies.
Conceal, don't feel.
It gets real frustrating to dress as modest as possible, with an immodest body type. No matter what I wear my shape is shown. If I get my clothes any bigger im literally drowning in them and I have to constantly adjust myself to keep them from falling off. I want to be able to wear clothes that will coincide with my modesty. The struggle is oh so real.
