Am I going to fast for you?


Your advice, while well-intentioned, contains a misspelling. Good point, though.

Congrats on losing the weight! You'll be much happier being trim and fit as opposed to having shirts that fit

In the past year I've lost 30 pounds and while I used to wear 15.5" shirts, I kept the same neck size and just started buying "slim fit" versions. I always still had too much fabric. I finally moved to 15" (had avoided it for fear of "choking"). They fit like a glove. Now I own one shirt that fits me and about 20 shirts (not that they're all high quality, granted) that don't.

Should I throw myself out a window?


I think all newbies, myself included, have gone through something like this - buying too much too quickly - though this is an extreme example.

I'd like to, but think the OP has to add it. I like the restriction to two.

You can resize the body but only can move the collar button like 1 cm for one size plus or less, also cut a bit an close the other side of the buttonhole do do the same until one side is almost mounted with the other.
