My roommate's friend is sending her some t-shirts but they are sized men's XL. She and I were wondering if anyone knew of any crafty tricks to make them look more feminine.. i.e. make it into a cute tank top or some other cute cut.

If you want to make it less baggy, take it in under the arms down all through the waistline. You can do this by pleating it in the front and back or you can stitch a curved effect on either side and then pleat the front and back to take in the rest of the "poof". You could also cut out the back on the top of the shirt to the hem that runs across the shoulders and replace it with lace. You could cut straight up the back to the hem that goes across the shoulders and make it look like a button down in the back as well as the front. I used to own a couple of shirts like that. You could crop the shirt and replace it with another type of material on the bottom or use lace. You could cut the sleeves into cap sleeves. You could turn it into a sleeveless top, crop the shirt and take the arms of the shirt and turn them into ties that stop at the waist or the bellybutton.
The possibilities are endless.

Um...yeah...in spite of the undeniable fact that it rather is a sprint complicated, seeing as the form you may want to alter the buttons to the different part and create new button holes, then tailor it to extra healthful the female.
