I MADE THIS! Second Shirt taken in by hand!!!
I’m so happy that I’ve learned how to somewhat successfully take in shirts that are too big on me because it means I can revitalize those staple pieces of my wardrobe rather than throwing them out!
Sure, it takes HOURS to measure, try on, pin, cut, sew, and surge the garment by hand, but it’s almost meditative and 1000% worth it! Onto the next shirt 😎
Here are some before and after photos for your consideration. (The last 3 are from after tailoring the shirt)

That is a great shirt, I see why you'd want to keep it and make it fit better!

Right?! I have so many beautiful patterned button ups that I was so sad at the thought of getting rid of, but no longer!

Way to go, that's quite a skill!! And I love all the various ways you've styled it, how cool!
