Refashioning a too-small shirt with godets - TUTORIAL
If you have a shirt that is too tight around the chest or waist area, try refashioning it by adding some godets into the side seams of your shirt. The godets will add ease to your shirt where you need it, plus they give the shirt a unique modern look.
I used Dritz Clear Elastic (3/8 inch) for this refashion:

So helpful and very easy to follow
Looking forward to trying this out! I have a knit top that has an AOP that I adore, but it’s a bit too tight in the bust and slightly shorter than I’d like. The godets might still not be enough to help in the length department, but I figure it’s worth a shot since the tee is sitting forlornly in the corner waiting for me to refashion it.
Adorable! Thanks, looking forward to giving it a try.
I’ve never finished an armhole with this method! Will definitely try it! 👍
