How to alter store bought shirt to fit better?

I have a tank style shirt that gapes at the arm holes. Does this mean i need to take the shirt in at the sides to make the arm hole smaller or would putting in a bust dart fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Put it on inside out, pin it together where ever it takes away the gap. Try pinning under the arm, see if it fits right. Doesn't work, trying pinning in a dart, etc.
