How do you make a crew neck shirt feminine?

This is what the crew neck t-shirt looked like before.

Marking the v neckline on the t-shirt

1. Mark the bottom of the v-neck on the t-shirt

Put your shirt on inside out and mark how low you want the neckline to be. Use your middle bust as a reference.

3. Add marks for the t-shirt cutting

Use your ruler to add markings down the center of your shirt, towards the point of the v. These should be half an inch apart. Then, use these lines to go across the triangle, following the shape of the collar.
