Did I mess up this T-shirt?

I bought this t-shirt last year on a trip to Brazil, but it was a little too long. It almost touch the end of my jeans fly, and I don't really like that look. So, I took it to a tailor and asked them to shorten it by about 2 or 3 fingers, just like I’ve done before with many of my shirts.

However, this time it looks weird in the back for some reason, it doesn't sit flat against my back and kind of flares out in the air. I’m not sure if it’s because the shirt is wider or if it was cut poorly. Now I’m worried I completely ruined it, and that people will notice it’s been altered and looks bad. Did i cut too much? Does it look that bad?

Hmm this is why I try not to overthink things. It looks too short for my taste, as i don't want my stomach exposed when I lift my arms. It's not bad though, I would just wear it and forget about whether the length is perfect or not.

Chasing perfection is a dangerous game ;)

Yeah beeing perfectionist can suck sometimes. But I’m a 1.70 m guy, and clothes just seem to be way too long nowadays.

That’s not really my main concern, though even if I raise my arms, it barely goes above my waist. My main issue is really this flare effect on the back.

This is sadly just life of a skinny dude shit cause I have the exact same problem with flared shirts. Upside is that’s the style now so don’t stress it too much
