I wish I had one that fit. They always gape at the neck, droop above the chest, etc. I need to learn how to put darts in the right place. I made a cotton sloper but that is for a fitted woven pattern and won't work for a T-Shirt.

Add you seam allowances to the finished size and you are on your way. If I could find the cotton pique, I have a style top I'm ready to make about 100 of!

I have a hunched back so the neckline of the shirt sticks away from my neck.

Just make a 1/3 to 1/2 inch tuck in the pattern, and let it sit a little bumpy looking in the center, and pin it down, and cut.
