I'm not a bit sure that I understand what you mean by tailored. I have been
altering DH's t-shirts a long time. Sometimes, we find one he likes but it
flares out from the armhole seam toward the waist. Looks like a circus tent
sort of shape. He calls them maternity shirts. I turn them inside-out and
seam them in beginning with nothing at the armhole and taking out what needs
to be gone going down the sides.
I've also had success doing this sort of shaping with sleeves that for
reasons obscure to us, seem to have some extreme fullness built in from the
cuff or hem. And, there have been some that were nice shirts but cut many
inches too long.
Is this the sort of tailoring you're wanting to do? Polly

I was watching an "X-treme Makeovers" rerun last night, and I saw a
stylist advising a guy to have his tie-dyed T-shirts tailored. I'd
never considered this possibility, but now that it's in my head...

I wear a lot of T-shirts (very few button-up shirts). I'm willing to
invest the time and effort into learning how to tailor my shirts, but
I have no clue where to search for books or instruction. A cursory
pass on the Internet turned up nothing of value. Can anyone guide me
in the right direction? Is this even /possible?/
