making a t-shirt larger

[erika]

So I got this awesome shirt from the ACLU and, sadness, it doesn't fit. (It's about 5'' too small at the sides.)

I found How to make a T-shirt Larger or Smaller, but the instructions are kind of sparse. Does anyone have any other ideas?

I'd love to do something with corsetry type lacing, but wouldn't that work better if the shirt was too big?

... How unpleasant?

(It helped that it was actually a Tall Boy's mannequin, and it was wearing a guayabara so yellow that it practically glowed in the dark. You go out for a midnight snack and there's a brightly-clad, headless human form in your house, all bets are off)

My husband's hung an old mackintosh he's cleaning up in the downstairs shower and about 50% of the times I go in that room I startle at the sight of a tall figure hiding in there.
