How do you decide if a t-shirt is too tight? NBR

I asked this on Facebook and got responses from my married guy friends which was no help at all.  I am overweight but working on it through Weight Watchers.  I've lost about 15 pounds so far and needed some new t-shirts.  I tried some on at the store and liked how they fit.  Washed them and they shrank a little so now I'm debating whether I need to wait until I'm smaller to wear them.  They are a little snug in the chest area.  I'm a D or a DD.  And sometimes the shirts get those wrinkles between the girls.  Is that your line of demarcation or is it somewhere else (able to see bra strap outlines, back fat, etc.) ?  I'm a 38 year housewife and I don't want to run around looking like a ho. Thanks!

Personally, I would wait until you've lost some weight before wearing them again.  I'm super paranoid about clothes looking too tight on me. 

My line of demarkation is if my fat rolls show while I'm wearing the shirt.  If they do, it's too tight.

Wrinkling between the boobage would be a sign of too small for me. If the shirt is pulling at seams or making puckers, definitely too small.

This.  Also, if you are going to feel self-conscious in it, then it is probably too tight.  

At least now you have some great inspiration to lose a few more pounds!

This for me too. I'm also super picky about how my clothes fit though.

I was alway taught that wrinkles point to where clothes are too tight.  I also think they are too tight if you can see my love handles.

The lines between the boobs may be an issue. However, if the dunlap belly is being flaunted in any way too much, if someone can count the lumps of cellulite on your thighs or the stretch mark on your belly, or even the number of michellin tires you are sporting, then the shirt is too tight. If not, then meh, whatever you feel comfortable in.
