This tutorial will teach you how to tailor your own dress shirt to get rid of the muffin top. You will need a sewing machine, thread, sewing pins, safety pins, a fabric pencil or chalk, a seam ripper, scissors, and an iron. First, measure and pin the shirt. If you have a perfect fitting dress shirt, use it as a template. If not, pin the shirt to your body and trace the outline with a fabric pencil. Then, sew the shirt. Install your matching thread and prepare your bobbin. Sew along the line you drew with your fabric pencil, removing the pins as you go. Finally, trim the excess fabric and press the seam flat.
What step should you take after you trace a line along the edge of the template shirt with your fabric pencil?
What should you do if you don't have the perfect fitting shirt to use as a template?
