Do you wear a size 2x?

[wallabyonwheels]

I bought my mom a shirt from a British Tshirt company. It finally came today and I realized it is way too small. I stupidly did not look at the size chart before ordering. Now that I'm looking at it, I don't know if any of the sizes will fit her. I look at sizing charts from other websites and it tells me how large your bust size is = this size. I want to know how wide in inches (because that's how it's measured on the site) a size 2x shirt is. Can anyone help me for this strange request?

I just googled it, and it's all over the map. It looks like it's specific to each site/brand

I do sometimes, depending on the brand because my boobs are gigantic, but I agree, sometimes I can wear an XL, sometimes, it's a 3x, just depending on how it's cut.

I think a 2x bust is usually in the neighborhood of 46", maybe a little bigger, so a t-shirt would need to be 23" across or more?

That would have no ease. For a t-shirt, you want a lot of ease. Probably 3-4 inches. 27 or 28 would probably work.

Thank you ladies. I think I can order her the men's XXL. I feel like a dummy not checking the sizing chart first. Oh well lesson learned.
