   -Take the shirt you want to use and measure how long you want the section under the bust to be.
   -Mark this length out with Chalk.
   -Measure the length around your torso, (under your bust) and divide that measurement in 1/2 and mark this at the top of the section you are going to cut. (mark it out in the center)
   -Draw a diagnal line from the top of the measurement to the bottom of the shirt.
   (Note the red section)
