I'm not the best 3d modeler but I would recommend either Blender or 3ds Max. I recommend trying Blender first. Here are the Nexus Forums for 3d Modelling Edited September 26, 2012 by chrissy_M_

I'm afraid nifskope won't get you anywhere. If the sleeves were a seperate mesh you could delete them in nifskope, but they are part of the whole shirt. Nifskope can do some manipulations like scaling, moving and rotating meshes, but it's really limited compared to a full 3d modeling software package.

Blender, as chrissy_M mentioned is the way to go. It's free and can do just about everything. It's a little bit of a b*tch to set up though, so use this link. It's a "portable" blender, already has python, nifscripts etc installed. it's not the latest version, but it's done everything I'v tried.

 

3ds max is a great program too, but very expensive, although students can get academic versions for only a few hundred. I have it because of my step fathers business, but still use blender almost exclusively.
