I had a session with a Palmer Pletsch fitter last week and we ended up making a "dart" in the pattern coming in from the armscye. This reduces the amount of fabric in the bodice (you don't sew a dart, it is strictly to take out "area"). I'm still working on my muslin but that change to the pattern seems to have fixed that particular problem.Good luck!<br /><br />Connie<br />cvaughn@its.jnj.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411781376891158701.post-22452836536234555552010-07-01T13:16:19.594-05:002010-07-01T13:16:19.594-05:00Mary - Thanks for the positive comment.

I posted lots of pictures here http://sincerelyyours-kate.blogspot.com/2010/07/4875-tissue-fitting-and-muslin-part-ii.html.<br /><br />p.s. I will start watching the armscye more closely. That seems like a simple but meaningful alteration that will give me a better fit.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513379876617697615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411781376891158701.post-28711679743060014162010-07-01T06:44:51.680-05:002010-07-01T06:44:51.680-05:00What a big improvement, though it still looks to m...What a big improvement, though it still looks to me that the armscye is cut a little too high under the armpit (though possibly she left a bit of seam allowance there). Good job!MaryDnoreply@blogger.com
