But seeing this on you makes me want to make myself about 15 t-shirts. I have the same broad-shoulder-small-frame issue, and every t-shirt I own has a shoulder seam that at best hits 1" away from my shoulders and usually more like 2" away. I want to have normal looking arms, and sleeves that come to where they are supposed to, not 2" higher than my wrists. I love your shirt, and you are making me excited to make stuff!
