How to make a men's t-shirt more ladylike

I just love a good t-shirt, but unfortunately it's not always easy to find them in women's sizes, while there are always loads of good ones in the men's section of stores. And I can't stand the extra fabric under my armpits and at my sides. What to do? Take the shirt in at the sides and rock it!

Here are the original shirts.

As you can see, they didn't fit very well.

In a nutshell, you trace a t-shirt that fits you onto the inside of the big shirt, both the body and the sleeves.

Attach each sleeve to the shoulder of the shirt, right sides together, and sew.

Then unite each side and sew together, starting from the armpit.

If you want, you can re-hem the bottom, but you can also skip it if because t-shirt fabric doesn't fray. So this was before...

...and this is after! Big difference, right?!
