How to tailor a shirt (Refashion a men's shirt to fit a woman)

Topman shirt

Men's clothes are usually bigger than women's.

So any reconstruction that involves converting a man's top to fit a woman would need to be made smaller.

Specifically, narrower in three areas:
  • shoulders
  • sleeves
  • trunk (the upper body)

The only exception is the boob area. Most men don't have boobs, so they're usually made with straight squares of materials which skim over their chest, without calling attention to anything in the bust area. Men's shirts are shapeless in the front. Women's shirts, on the other hand, tend to have a dart or pleat under the bust to create that curve. Anyway, we'll need darts here to accommodate for those curves if you are sewing for a female silhouette.  

It will be easier to put in darts before you narrow the trunk.

Here's how to reconstruct that man's shirt to fit a woman!

1) Narrow the shoulder-to-shoulder width
2) Put darts under the bust so that shirt will curve over boobs
3) Narrow the sleeves and trunk of the shirt

Please read all instructions first :)






1) NARROW THE SHOULDERS

STEP 1: Put on the shirt and mark the end of your shoulder.




















STEP 2: Take shirt off. Draw a curve from the shoulder mark to the armpit, under the original armhole seams. This will be your new armhole. Fold the shirt in half and cut your curve, cutting off both sleeves together.

STEP 3: Turn shirt and both sleeves inside out. Arrange so that the right sleeve is with the right side of the shirt, and the left sleeve with the left side of the shirt. The buttonholes on the cuff should be on the bottom.

STEP 4: Pin the sleeves back onto the shirt. Do this by matching the yoke seams together at the top of the shirt with the yoke seams on the sleeves. The right sides (the outside of the shirt) need to face each other.


You'll have a hole at the armpit because the hole of the sleeve is smaller than the armhole of the shirt. Just try to pin together the sleeve and the shirt as much as possible to keep this hole small. 


STEP 5: Sew the sleeves and the shirt together :) Go slowly since you're sewing a circle.



















2) CREATE DARTS

STEP 1: Put shirt on inside out. Draw an angled line from just underneath a boob towards the side of the shirt.  This will be the dart.

If you notice the dart extends onto a shirt pocket, either start the dart below the pocket, or remove the pocket first.
STEP 2: Take the shirt off. Use a ruler to extend the line to the edge of the shirt.












STEP 3: We need to copy the dart onto the other side of the shirt. If you used chalk, just fold the shirt in half and transfer the chalk line to the other side. If you want it accurate, take these three measurements

a) The horizontal width from the top of the dart to the side of the shirt. 
b) The length down the side of the shirt from the armhole to the horizontal line I drew with step A.
c) The length down the side of the shirt from the armhole to the end of the dart.

As you can see, I got a) 17cm b) 5cm c) 23cm

Use these measurements to draw an identical dart on the other side of your shirt.

 STEP 4: Pin the darts.












 STEP 5: Sew the darts just under the line you've ruled. How much under is up to you. As a general rule, if your boobs are smaller, sew closer to the line. If your boobs are bigger, sew further from the line. Curve out at the top of the dart to close it.







STEP 6: Turn the shirt right side out and try it on. If you're happy with your darts, turn the shirt inside out again and go ahead to cut off the excess material above the dart line. Iron open the dart seams.


















3) NARROW THE TRUNK AND THE SLEEVES

STEP 1: Put the shirt on inside out. Mark where your waist is and then mark where the underside of your arm is. Be a little generous as you can always keep narrowing the shirt if it's too big.


STEP 2: Take shirt off. Draw a straight, angled line on your sleeve from the armpit to the cuff. Then draw a curve from the armpit to the bottom of the shirt. The widest part of the curve is the mark your made of your waist. Cut.







STEP 3: Pin, matching the underarm seams and the cuffs of the sleeves. Pin the trunk from the armpit down. Because of the dart, there will a bit of the back shirt hanging longer than the front.


STEP 4: Sew. Try to keep the armhole seams and dart seams open.

STEP 5: Iron open all your seams, try it on!


















You can hem up the back shirt if you want the lengths of the shirt to match. I tuck in my shirts so I don't bother. You can also cut the sleeves and resew them if they're too long. Or make winter-y shirts into summer ones by making them short-sleeves. Do this before narrowing the sleeves. Go to the second-hand shop and buy lots of cheap men's shirts! Or even plus-size shirts. If you find a really, really big shirt (longer than mid-thigh length) you could re-make it into a shirt dress.You can double your work wardrobe in a weekend- once you do a shirt it's easy to just re-tailor several shirts in the same way.

Lastly, if you want to just make a man's shirt smaller, for a man, just follow the instructions for part 1 and part 3- narrowing the shoulders, trunk and sleeves.

**EDIT: When making the shirt for a guy, don't curve in the trunk unless you're after the fitted look, which is also fairly vogue these days.

  7. hey i love this tutorial. it was really helpful and i was wondering if you could do one for refitting a jacket. I bought a blazer recently that is styled as a 'boyfriend blazer' (so its very loose) but i would like it to be more fitted. any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  8. This post was a great overview of the resizing / restyling process. The photos with the chalk lines were really useful. There's one thing I'm still unsure about, though: What about the cuffs?

    ReplyDelete
  9. @Jericha- I'd love to show you how to re-size a blazer! You can either sew in darts, then narrow the trunk and sleeves as in this tutorial, or narrow the sleeves and then narrow the trunk, curving in at the waist in one stitch.

    This is a really great refashioning idea! :) I'll go to the op-shop after The Fashion Fund and find a blazer to work on. At the moment I'm not sure if narrowing the shoulders would work the same way as in this tutorial 'cos the material for the blazer is so much more thicker. Stay posted!

    ---------------------


    Hey Kepod! Thanks for your question.

    One way would be to cut off the cuffs, turn them inside out and narrow the area closest to the underside of the wrist (as in stitch a line, down the length of the cuff) to fit your wrist. Then sew the cuff back onto the sleeve.

    The easiest way though would be to just reposition the buttons on the cuff so that you can 'narrow' the cuff just by buttoning it :)

    Let me know if I made no sense :) I'm happy to do a follow-up tutorial!

  10. EXACTLY what I needed!!!!! Question: I am petite and would need to cut/hem the bottom of the shirt. How do you keep that curve (at the bottom), that I like so much, that is found on many shirt styles?
    I would like to wear the shirt on the outside of my clothes, right at the top of my hips, not tucked in.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hi - great tutorial! I am in the process of doing something similar with a men's shirt. I like your way of doing the darts better than what I did - luckily my shirt is still at a stage where I haven't cut anything yet. I'm glad I saw this before I took it further - now I'm more confident that my shirt will turn out if I re-do the darts.
    To answer HOLLYWOOD's question - if the shirt has a yoke, you can shorten the back by re-sewing the back piece to the yoke so that the side seems match. Then you don't have to re-hem the back part.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hi Hollywood!

    I love Anon's idea of detaching the back from the yoke- do this before narrowing the sides.

    Another option would be to just cut in a straight line, the back of the shirt to however long you want it (add 1.5cm for hemming). Then use the piece you just cut to trace the curve.. don't forget the 1.5cm hem allowance.. and hem up as usual! If the seams are puckering a little try cutting notches into the hem.

    --

    @Anonymous - thank you for your kind words! And for the idea about the yoke. I've never thought of that before so will definitely try it with my next shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  13. This is great! I'm a fan of men's clothing in general but I have the mixed mentality to retain my curves mostly because I'm hefty so wearing men's clothing only makes me look heavier. I hope to find the time to try this, but I've never held a needle before, haha, so I'll need some practice. It's a great tutorial nevertheless! As someone without ANY first had attempt at this feat the lack of moving visuals will be a small challenge.

    Thank you for the guide!

  26. Thanks everyone! And An, I would love to see photos of your perfect shirt!

    Hi Bean sorry for the late reply- I've been pondering this and it's totally not a dumb question at all! I'm not sure about the neck as well- you could try removing the collar, cut it in half at the back and re-sew so that it's the right circumference. And then you would need to adjust the neckhole to match, which means that you would probably need to dart it in twice at the back. Does that make sense? Feel free to email me photos if I can help more! My email's jiltfk@gmail.com.

  50. I don't understand what you did with the darts. Please help!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi Kim, happy to help! The dart is just to take in any excess fabric underneath the boobs. If you want to skip the chalk marking step, the easiest way would just be to put on the shirt and pinch in the fabric underneath the bust so the shirt will contour to fit properly. Pin in place, remove shirt and you can hand stitch the dart.

    Have a look at some women's shirts if you are unsure- from the front, the dart looks like a diagonal line aiming up towards the nipple region :) From inside out, the dart will look like a triangle of fabric folded over. It's that little triangle which represents the excess fabric needed to be taken in so to create a boob shape.

    I hope that helps, have a good weekend sewing and if you have any questions please feel free to email me at jiltfk@gmail.com.

  53. Im trying to do the same thing with a mans vest. Any suggestions? I am in a wedding on the boys side and the vests have already been purchased. Can I put darts into it? Thanks for the advice. ~HFWL

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hi there,

    I believe you can! Although seeing as it is an important event you may want to practice on newspaper or butcher's paper first. Trace the vest pattern onto the paper and you can then adjust the darts as needed.

    If you are confident, remove the lining before putting in the dart.

    The most simple and temporary solution, would be to hand-baste the dart and just iron it into place rather than cutting.

    Hope that helps!

  60. Thanks a bunch! Another version is to baste sew, than reinforce sew the trunk/arms before cutting (afraid of effing up I suppose, cutting is sew permanent, ha, see what I did there :\) It just allows easier adjusting if needed. You can always make something smaller but it's a bit more difficult to make things larger after you've cut the fabric off. Just my cents :) Thanks for the great details!

  118. Hi, so I'm thinking of starting an online small fashion boutique. Very vintage and cheap, like 10-15 dollars for a shirt or so.
    I have a few questions...
    1. What website builders (cheap prefered) do you recommend?
    2. If I don't want to make my own clothes, where do I buy them from?
    3. If I were to make a tie-dyed cut up tee to sell, where can I buy the shirts?
    4. Is there anything else I should know about this buiseness?

  124. I have to wear shirts and ties to work, but womens formal shirts have no end of issues. 1. They more often than not have labels sewn into the inside of the collar (which is just itchy and annoying when you have to fasten the collar and put a tie on). The collars rarely have the option of removeable collar bones. And the collars are too thinly made. None of these common issues with a womans formal shirt are issues with mens formal shirts. So for years now I have been buying 14" mens formal shirts. However they usually start at 14½" collar size now adays, so trying to find a 14" mens shirt even is a major challenge and choices of collar, cuff etc become very limited.

    Wouldn't it just be easier if they made unisex formal shirts in all sizes, or even just make mens shirts with a womens size options. I can't be the only woman who buys mens shirts just for the better quality or practicality?

  139. Thank you for posting these clear and simpfied instructions. When my dad passed away, I kept a bunch of his real nice dress shirts. Now, I'm 5'9" and broad shouldered, but my Dad was 6'4" and as broad shouldered as they come (thank you Viking ancestors!)... so his shirts we're absurdly huge on me (and not at all flattering!). These are just the instructions I need to attempt to make them remotely wearable.

    I have two requests:

    #1. Another reader posed a question about the sleeves. I'm finding both the sleeve length and breadth to be ridiculously baggy (even well-cuffed). Can you recommend where on the sleeves to make the adjustments ? If they weren't so baggy, then cuffing would probably be adequate for adjusting the length.

    #2. Can you use the same idea in reverse (adding fabric) to make smaller shirts larger a bit larger ? I'm going to try it, but would so appreciate any tips you might have if there're are any other foreseeable considerations for the reverse process.


    Thanks so much... Your post has been very helpful ;)

  142. Designer shirts for men India in India can be defined as a garment meant to adorn the upper part of the body. Basically, all upper-body garments and undergarments worn by men fall under the category of shirts, as per American English while in British English, it’s more of a garment with a collar, sleeves with cut and full vertical opening displaying buttons.

  159. You are in a retail store, you may spend an hour or more to select a cloth for you as per your choice but when you finally do this, the sales man told you that they do not have the size that you want. But if you buy women’s clothing online, then they must have huge stocks with different collections of colors and also in different sizes too.
