Cut up each side of the shirt until you reach your taped guide.
On the backside only, cut horizontally across the guide. This will leave you with a front flap.
Turn the shirt over, face-up, and mark the bottom center of the now "shirt-flap".
Starting from the center, cut diagonally toward each side of the shirt (where your original guide was) so that your flap is now a "V" shape.
Complete
