business shirt rescue

This wasn't a very exciting refashion, but it does save 2 new shirts from just hanging in the cupboard. My husband bought himself the usual size shirt in the usual brand, only to find they had a bat wing effect on him. So, after thinking about it for a while and realising they were never going to be worn, I decided to have a go at fixing them. I cut off the sleeve and took about an inch off the length, and followed that down the side seam . This corrected the extra length in the sleeve and also make the shirt less bilious.

I have taken a photo on the un-touched shirt as well as the one I have fixed so far so you can compare how much I had to take off. Since the shirt will always be tucked in, the mis-match at the bottom will be unseen.
I did a similar thing for my son, so his tall frame didn't look like he was wearing a too-short shirt in his school uniform.
