tight and sleek long-sleeve shirts with buttons

  hi all,
  
  have u all seen those long-sleeve office buttoned-shirts worn by guys that are tight and small? their cutting and width is like wrapping the body very nicely and makes the wearer very sleek and curvy, not like those common/ordinary and flabby types of long-sleeve shirts u see on the MRT/buses everyday.
  
  basically, i want the shirt to wrap tightly onto my body so that the curves shows up.
  
  1) how to achieve such kind of effect? is it any small-size long-sleeve shirt can already? if so, where got sell such shirts? i'm looking for cheaper/low-end types, not those SGD$69.90 types.
  my body size very small; my waist only like 27 inch and i'm 1.65m; i'm very skinny.
  
  2) i currently have 2 white long-sleeve office-type flabby shirts. i'm thinking of going to either queensway shopping center or pearl center/pearl tower area to find the tailors(a lot of tailors there) to amend it so that it tighly hugs my body and gives it the slick/sleek look.
  
  these kind of tailor rates for amending long-sleeve shirts, is it very expensive? anyone got any experience? i know straits times got mention a few "branded" tailors in orchard area, but their rates are in the hundreds and above.
  
  because i got several critical job interviews next week and i don't want to bog down my mom to amend them, cos' she also quite tired after amending my short-sleeve shirts already.
  
  please and thanks,
  nikar.

  Go to Domanchi. Their office shirts are slim fitting and quite unique design. Cost varies fr $40 to $100.
  
  For cheap lower cost slim fit shirts, wait till G200 have their 70% off sales, then go buy.
  
  For more costly slim fits, can try Raoul or Zara....

  thanks, i know.......but is it possible to amend the regular shirts to such an extent that it becomes a slim-fit shirt? anyone got experience?
  
  because logically speaking, quite hard/near-impossible leh.
  
  thanks!

  i bought one at zara. cost me over 70 bucks.
  
  alternatively you can try queensway. remember buying one or two there for below 50 bucks. cutting also nice. but that was years ago.

  I think you can try John Little or Isetan, they usually have a huge range of business shirts. G2000 is good too, but I'm not sure about the prices there.
