| Oh god I know Endless, ive watched some live youtbue shows of them. Gona wear some scruffy clothes and kick ass boots so no one can stand on my feet. Told my sister-in-law about it as well, so I think were both ready for the crowd.
I dont want to cut the t-shirt because its costing me £11.99. I just want to make adjustments at the front. But thanx for looking for me! _________________  |

| Isn't it somewhat taboo to wear the band tee shirt to the concert? But either way, you can sew it in on the inside to help give it some shape. What you can do is to turn the shirt inside out and pin in the new seams (don't forget to add the sleeve or else it will look really weird). _________________ I'm a werewolf, not a vampire!   |

| If you buy a row of grometted tape (looks like this---> http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.20629118.jpg ) it will help A LOT with trying to corset-up the back. Just sew two lines of it, feed the ribbon through-- done. I do it to a lot of my shirts. As far as the front goes though... humm.. that is tricker. The "Disturbed" word is only an inch or so from the collar, so removing the collar and hemming isn't really an option. I think you may be out of luck on that one...  Corsetting the back/sides is a GREAT idea though-- it will add definition and spice it up a bit.  (And have a BLAST!!!  ) |

| I was about to suggest that. Looks like Akasha beat me to it,  smart girl. Now, to slim the shirt up a bit, you could perhaps wash it in hot water a few times to "shrink it a bit", or sew a few darts on the sides. |

| I went to go see then when they were here. You won't be disappointed Vampira. Yes, don't wear your best or most expensive clothing. The crowd is very rowdy and we don't want you to ruin your best clothes. |

Just watch yourself if you're going down the front bud. I got my stomach badly kicked at a Damned gig - it looked horrendous and hurt like Hell! I hasten to add that the lovely bassist Stu offered to kick the perpetrator to death for me but I took the law into my own hands and smacked him across the face with my riding crop. I'd love to see how he explained that mark to his partner when he got home!_________________  Well, the Devil he taught us how to rock and then he turned us loose |

| I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Be careful out there.This is what I did to one of my old Sanhain shirts.I'm not sure if it's your style but all the instrutctions are there and it's accually pretty easy to do.

| Turn the top inside out, pull the fabric a bit at the sides and safety pin them down.
No sew!!! |
