Gluesticks

anyone tried gluing or cutting dress shirt tails so the shirt appears not to have a tail?

i have a number of really nice shirts that have the traditional "tails" in the back. I am not the type to keep a shirt tucked in, and think it looks horrible to wear these type of shirts untucked. However, i recently thought of a way to save my shirts by gluing the back tail up onto the underside of the back shirt. surprisingly enough, it looks really good, as in youd never guess that the shirt had a tail. My fiance was skeptical but very impressed with the result! Now the question is, what would be a good glue for this, as the super glue ive used works wonders on everything else but this application... And, am i the first to do this or is it a common practice to glue, cut, sew the tails out of sight?

1. I used to do that to my sons shirts. But I used the iron on strips which has like a glue on it. It was totally washable..although after awhile it would come apart and have to be redone.
