I work for a small business and the owner would like us to wear a branded tshirt for a uniform. She orders and pays for these.
I have no objection to wearing a uniform - it actually makes my life easier - so I would happily contribute or even pay for these.
She doesn’t let us pay so the problem comes in where what she orders for me to wear is too big. I’m an XS or S at best, and she insists on ordering a medium for me. It’s huge on me - at least 5cm wider on each side at the shoulder and the torso part looks like it could contain two of me. They are not straight sided - it curves in below the boobs and out again at the hips - so it’s not just a big oversized tshirt iyswim.
Ive worn them, even though it looks horrible. I’ve tried tumble drying to shrink them but they are good quality so they dont shrink !!
My work mates agree I look ridiculous.
The current batch are looking tired so she’s ordering more and I’ve asked her to go down two sizes or even a size and she’s said no. She’s also decided to change the neckline from a crew neck to a v neck in the same brand, so basically I’m expecting to flash my bra/boobs all the time.
I just don’t know how to handle this and she won’t see reason in terms of getting me the right size. It’s not like there is an hr dept for me to turn to.
Any ideas?? Obviously a cami vest type thing underneath to preserve any modesty but it gets so hot where I work!
surely she can’t insist I wear it if it doesn’t fit??
