But could the armhole cut be altered?
Yes -- it can be raised. Very easy to do while you're taking in the sides.

I'm pretty unfamiliar with getting alterations done and the structure of a dress shirt, but this sounds like what I'm looking to get done. Usually, the shoulders and chest fit fine but the sleeves are rather billowy and there is no drop from the chest to the waist. Is this what you guys are talking about? Getting a tighter fit around the arms and a taper going from chest to waist? If so, what do you tell the tailor to do (specifically, please, if anyone is willing to help...it's not going to be pretty if I have to make up words to describe what I want)?
