Can shirts with patterns (i.e. gingham) be taken in at the waist? I've never had shirts taken in so I wasn't sure? These days I get all of my shirts made, but I have a few ESF OCBD's that are still way too big in the waist and a couple casual gingham button downs from jcrew that need some work.

Yes. You’re not going to get pattern matching on pattern shirts anyway along the seams (although you should strive for pattern matching on the pocket and placket).
