I pulled the waistband up under my arms and added lots of darts for shaping. I put in two long darts down the front and two down the back. I used strips of fabric cut from the inside of these darts to create the shoulder straps. The back half of the waistband was elasticated and the fabric was gathered just below the waistband, so I also put in half a dozen little 6-inch-long darts to pull in all that extra fabric.
