No idea in parnell but out West there's a million little altering services.

1234584 2011-09-30 06:59:00 i would imagine the alteration would be a min of $20?

Unless you particularly love that shirt, as Nomad pointed out, the alteration may cost more than the shirt.

Shop around a bit and try and find a brand that is a pretty good fit. Farmers aren't too expensive and often have sales. Make sure any shirt fits well around the neck and shoulders. Altering a sleeve is less expensive than neck/shoulder area. Did you try it on before you bought it?

1234586 2011-09-30 10:02:00 Yea i tried it on before i bought it. It was tight around the shoulders for medium so i tried large, but sleeves for large is a bit too long, and the sides might be too baggy. Its a bit hard to buy clothes for tall+thin i guess.

Im not sure whether the shirt looks good though....thoughts?

Try buying fr short and thin as in very short it's even harder as at most shops even small is too big, I buy Hallensteins boys 14 most of the time or sometimes Kathmandu have extra small
