For starters, I have a 41.5" chest, 31" waist, and wear a 16/34-35. I have had close to ten shirts tailored now by a tailor who is my go-to. When I have the shirts tapered they still billow more than I would like at the waist and have excess fabric in the back, even though they fit well around my upper torso/rib and shoulders. It's just getting frustrating because I have yet to find a shirt which fits close to well off the rack and when I get them tailored they still billow more than I want. How close to the waist can I get these tapered without restricting my movement? Can I take them back to the tailor and have them take in only the waist a bit more? Thanks for the input guys, that's my rant.

It's REALLY hard Dangle, you have similar measurements to myself, even MTM shirts have a bit of billow IF I untuck them to kind of help buttons etc. If i have it untucked it cuts in tight but just slightly untucking seems to cause a little bit of billow. However I suspect it MAY be that my pants are also roomy around my waist, due to leg requirements, so I think they might let the shirt untuck more than I'd like/cause it to not pull down and keep everything in place.

Those are all off-the-rack. I mean, if Express sold Small Tall Extra Slim Fits in stores, they would be on the rack, but I had to order them online.
The sleeves on their Small Talls are a little bit too long for my arms, but the Smalls are way too short, and she said she would take longer over shorter any day.
