How do you cut guy t-shirts into a more flattering and feminized girl t-shirt?

There are many ways to re-make t-shirts. One popular way is to cut the neckline into a square neckline, or boat neckline, and sew a fold over facing for it. In one really cute makeover I saw, the sleeves were cut on an angle, one inch at the underarm, and four inches at the shoulder top, which made a nice cap sleeve, and a square cut neckline, using strips from the sleeve as a facing for the neckline.

An easy way to make it more form fitting is to take two tucks in the back and front. Make them very small. I have also seen the sleeves removed and cut into strips to lace through holes punched up the two sides of the shirt. One of my favorites is make cuts 1/2 inch apart from the bottom of the shirt, going up at least four inches or more. Slip one or more large beads on each strip and knot at the bottom.
