The shoulders look wide on all to me. Not bad, but a bit wide.

I would recommend using an online outfit like moderntailor.com. As a student, I'm sure value is of importance to you. $250 USD is a hell of a lot for a shirt - especially a shirt that doesn't fit great.

Personally, I think you've got some major issues with blousing. I'm not sure how formal/informal you dress or what you are intending to do with these shirts, but consider having them darted/sides taken in? I don't know. None of these shirts seem to fit you very well at all, especially given the fact that they are apparently MTM.

you are getting a lot of conflicting advice.
on shirt #1
the chest is a bit too tight.
you have very square shoulders.
the shirtmake needs to squre up the pattern a little.
the cuffs look to long reduce to 2.75" in width.

put some darts in the back to to reduce the fullness.
don't touch the sleeves

Hi Shirtmaven and thanks a lot for your reply!

What makes you think the chest is too tight?
What do you mean with squ(i?)ring up the patterns?
Cuffs on future shirts will definitely be of reduced height, I do not like them this way too.
Besides darts shouldn't I also have some fabric taken away at the seams around the waist?
Why wouldn't you touch the sleeves, don't you think the right one is a bit too long and wide?

the pulling by the armpits

you have square shoulders.. the tailor just needs to square it up even more.

you still need to sit down.
Why wouldn't you touch the sleeves, don't you think the right one is a bit too long and wide?
hard to tell about sleeve length
