diesel shirt.
I recently got a diesel button up shirt.
Sorry I cant find it online for a pic, but I assume their kind of standard. Mine is greyish brown and has velvet symbols on it, and the cuffs are super long and the type that you would half roll up.
Anyways its sort of tapered, or tailored. I dont know the correct word

It goes skinnier towards the bottom.
Im pretty straight, im not skinny, but not fat. muscular. I could lose a couple pounds, but I dont think that would make a difference w/ this problem.
Anyways the shirt fits me perfectly up top, however the bottom button, maybe even the second to bottom button pulls a little. Im wonering if there was a way or stretching the shirt. a lil or something. Anything I can do?
I bought it on sale, so its non-returnable. when I first tried it on, I did so without thinking of buttoning it up.
So far I just wear it out with it unbuttoned, but I prefer the look of it buttoned up a lil.
thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated!

What you are describing sounds vaguely like the clothing of a wizard.

I think his point, although delivered hilariously obtusely, is that your description is too vague and we can't really help you with photos. That being said, I'm going to guess that the answer is negative:
  1. Examine the shirt.
  2. Imagine what a tailor would have to do to make it fit properly.
  3. Note that there is no extra fabric at the seams or otherwise to make such alterations.
  4. Post it on Buying&Selling.

Oh, I bet you are. Look, it would be nice if you discovered sentences (and soft! perhaps moved on to paragraphs!), but that said, it sounds like the shirt doesn't fit you. If you're particularly muscular, slim shirts that are cut for skinny, non muscular guys aren't going to fit you. You'd find the same to be true of, say, H&M's slim cut line for anorexics on a budget (really, you'd think they already save so much on food, but...).

Alright thanks for the replies guys! Obviously I don't know much about clothing/fashion, other than my opinion on what I think looks good or not.
Ill take this to a tailor shop and see what can be done with t there.
Something that I have to learn to accept is that even though something looks awesome on the rack or manequine, it might not on me.
