Hi ppl. I got a question on tailoring to slim fit. I had a kinda oversized polo shirt so i decided to bring it to a local tailor to alter it to fit me better. I told her to bring in the sides and narrow the sleeves so that the armhole would be brought up as well. Basically the problem was that the tee was too baggy around the sides and the armhole was too big. The shoulder was only slightly big so i did not ask her to alter that area. So she managed to narrow the waist and sleeves as i requested as shown in the picture below by the arrows. The dotted lines represents the outline of the shirt originally.
However, the problem is that the armpit and chest area (circled red) seems to bunch up quite a bit after the alteration. So im wondering if this was inevitable? Especially since when i requested quite a lot of shrinking? Pit to pit shrunk by about 4 inches i think. Can it be resolved if i asked to bring the shoulder and chest area (as highlighted by the yellow line) inwards? Thnx in advance!
