How To Tailor Short Sleeve Button Down (Wear It With Style)

About this video

Centeno provides a step-by-step guide to tailoring short sleeve button-down shirts at home to achieve a better fit. He demonstrates two methods for measuring and pinning the fabric, then walks through sewing, trying on, and finishing the seams to create a polished look.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends using a perfectly fitting shirt as a template to trace the correct measurements, or alternatively pinning the shirt while wearing it to determine how much to take in
• Centeno advises tapering lines gradually into the armpit when slimming only the waist to avoid creating dimples, and using a 2.5mm straight stitch with back stitches to secure the thread
• Centeno instructs to trim excess fabric to a quarter-inch seam allowance, finish edges with a zigzag or overlock stitch, and press seams flat with an iron for a smooth final appearance
