I have never attempted the dreaded tutorial (or so it has been called) but today, I will do my very best to help you envision this simple modification.
First off, you will need a t-shirt (I used a button-up) that is just a little too large for you.
I used this simple polka doted button-up that was just too big for me to wear in public confidently.
Secondly, you will need about a a yard of ribbon (color of your choice), scissors, sewing machine, tape measure, seam ripper, and pins.
Lets Get Started! now, I know every girl has grabbed the back of a T-shirt and scrunched it up and just wished it was a tiny bit tighter. now that, that is what we are doing here. I measured 6 inches from the seam underneath the armpit on each side, then I put on my over sized shirt, and pinched the areas on the back of my shirt where the pins are placed. (You may change the placement of the pins in order for it to fit you properly, just make sure they are even)
Once you have found the two points in which you are going to cinch the fabric in at, now, pinch the material and create a cavity in which the desired ribbon can be securely placed.Now turn the shirt inside out, and move the pin, without losing your place, to the inside of the material.
if you are having difficulties try to follow the pictures.
After you have sewn both ribbons to the shirt flip the shirt right side out again, and tug on the ribbons to ensure they are securely placed.When you're done this is what the back will look like.
CONGRATULATIONS! you have just completed one of the easiest quick fix modifications known to human kind.
