Mango tops that aren't knitwear, am just an odd shape?

I've just received an order from Mango, 2 knitwear styles and a t-shirt. I ordered large and xl, as I have never ordered from them before and I have 38 GG boobs, am 14/16 on the top depending on cut, in Bravissimo I can fit into a 12 Super curvy. Anyhoo the L knitwear was great, still loose on the boobs, but the large t-shirt would go nowhere near the boobs! Stupidly it's made me feel a bit crap. I've never had the best body image as my sister, mother and maternal grandmother are tall and willowy, whereas I am short, curvy slim and had my boobs from 14 yo and everybody would comment on how I was nothing like the others and would make creepy remarks.

It really is daft though, I am married mother of two far far away from my younger years! I suppose I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with Mango tops?

I usually find Mango runs really small. I'm an 8 but busty and a M top with buttons down the middle is too tight.

It's a spanish company, so maybe cut slightly differently? The tops don't fit boobs I often find.

I'm a fairly average size 12. I don't have big boobs and I still can't fit into anything in Mango. The cut is weird.

Think Zara another Spanish co are known small sizing too. The models on website are all willowy & It brought back how crap I felt as a teen looking at mags.

We do all compare and not appreciate our features others may envy.

It’s them not you. Mango tops are tight on the boobs and short in the body.
