For those wearing a shirt of course. I’m just curious if a shirt is too small if one can see one’s belly button if hands are raised in the air.

And just for giggles, I’m making this a poll. So… Stick’em up everybody! And show me or don’t show me your belly button

ETA: Title should read hands, not hand.

It’s an obscure reference to I Dream of Jeannie.
