Shirt Alteration Worries

[helloall123]

Hi there,
I'm going to have a shirt altered to fit me properly tomorrow at my local tailor. The problem is I am really, really skinny. I weigh about 50kg (110lb) so as you can tell i'm not very big. I'm relatively tall but extremely small on the chest and waist area. Now if I pull my shirt from behind and squeeze it so it fits me tight at the front, it makes me look so thin that having it baggy would look better.

I've never had a shirt altered before so I'm not familiar with the process. Will the shirt be made to fit me tight or will it still be a bit loose but a lot less baggy? Is there anything I should ask my tailor to do in order to prevent it from looking to skinny on me?

Thanks

it will be made as tight as you want
there was a thread about alterations if you haven't read it already

and this, you will probably want thinner sleeves too
