I’m glad you found it useful Laurie. I hack my tees all the time. Yours looks great! I have an Egyptian cat tee from the British Museum that I hacked.<br /> JAileen, it was “unisex”, ha ha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-shirt-length-thanks-again-brooklyn#post-2414421 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 02:32:19 +0000 JAileen 2414421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute tee! &nbsp;Our son is a cat lady with two cats, so I always give him cat things.<div><br /></div><div>Brooklyn mentioned in her post something that has made me mad for years: &nbsp;“I think unisex style t-shirts are often just men’s t-shirts rebadged “unisex”. &nbsp;That’s why they’re too long in the first place. &nbsp;Anyway, I&nbsp;complained to REI back in the 90s about a “unisex” Goretex jacket that was really just a man’s jacket, with sleeves meant for a man. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-shirt-length-thanks-again-brooklyn#post-2414413 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:28:16 +0000 Kate 2414413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable tee shirt.

I start each day with vacuuming the whole first floor, and the upstairs room where I also do my exercises. It's a commitment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-shirt-length-thanks-again-brooklyn#post-2414398 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 20:25:19 +0000 Janet 2414398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been doing this more and more! That’s a super cute tee. :-)</p> <p>Today I am wearing a teal tee from Athleta that was perfect for me in every way…except the length. Since it’s a bit more refined than a graphic tee, I had my tailor shorten it — 4” off and it’s now perfect and needs no tucking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-shirt-length-thanks-again-brooklyn#post-2414393 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 17:48:11 +0000 Angie 2414393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pic has disappeared, and GREAT HACK!

I also have hacked one after Brooklyn's post but have not worn it yet. Actually I hacked off a peplum that was bugging me and I think it is going to be a whole lot better. I laundered it after hacking and the the hem rolled just as she described it would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/t-shirt-length-thanks-again-brooklyn#post-2414373 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:10:14 +0000 Laurie 2414373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Learning how to shorten t shirts has been an excellent life hack. I had really stopped wearing graphic t's because I hate the way the regular length goes to and over my hips at the widest part of my body.</p> <p>Brooklyn's tutorial (in the comments of<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ss-refresh-1-the-graphic-tee"> this post</a>) on how to shorten a t shirt has been invaluable.  Here is my latest fun shirt - I got a black and a white one, and I cut them off this morning at 22" from the mid-point of the shoulder seam to the bottom (which meant I cut off 4.5" at the bottom). Brooklyn's advice in cm is 56-58 cm from shoulder to hem.</p> <p>(Apologies for the vacuum cleaner in my photo, however it is appropriate as the 4 cats in our house necessitate daily vacuuming!) </p>
