    Since I started the gym 2 and a half years ago I've added 2 stone of muscle and got my waist down to 32" - makes buying clothes that fit properly very hard! My top half is XL size (UK) and my waist more like M or L so XL tops look really baggy on me (baggy clothes in UK = bad look). I'm handy with a sewing machine so I tried sewing up the sides on a few of my jumpers by a half inch and results were good and fit much better.

    However I wouldn't even attempt it on a shirt, bad sewing would be really noticable, so I agree with 23kon, take them to a clothes alterations shop or tailors.
