Adjusting boxy t shirts

I've lost weight, yay. Got lots of fabulous t shirts in a boxy style which now no longer look right and don't flatter me. What can I do with them to adjust the fit or style them so they look better?

Crop them, so trim them and hem them. Congratulations on your weight loss 👏

I'm sure I've seen some hack on YouTube or Pinterest about resizing a t-shirt using one of those tiny elastic hair bands x

Is there enough material to do a side tie? x

You can use a bangle and a hairband to gather it up at side or front, gives a great effect, look it up for a demo as i honestly don't know how to explain it.
