Can I stretch or remove the elastic band in my shirt?

Pink Denial asked:


I have a sheer blouse that layers with a tank top underneath. The sheer over-shirt has an elastic band under the chest. I would prefer if the shirt fit more like a tunic and less like an empire-cut maternity shirt.

Can I stretch out the elastic? Remove it? Cut it so it’s less tight? The fabric of the shirt appears to be sewn over/around the elastic…I can’t see the elastic band.
