Pattern: Sabrina Woman S1536 (German magazine), model 19, size 40/42
I had to take the back in a bit to prevent the shoulders from slipping to the sides.I'm going to call this top a muslin and sew it again using a softer fabric to see what the problem with the back truly is. Or not? What do you think? The back definitely needs some changes.
Ciao!

I am certainly nor fitting expert, but what about just folding in the back and back facing pattern pieces just a bit to take up the amount of slack you had to make in your adjustment. I've had that happen with tops I've made before and that seemed to work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Faye, I often just fold out a strip in the back. If you're worried about the folds around the middle, maybe make the hip a little wider. I have to do that with all my tops. I love this colour, though!
ReplyDeleteI too agree with Faye. In many patterns I find that I'm quite narrow across the back/shoulders and the pattern is a lot bigger. So I take a tuck down the centre of the pattern to take out some slack, don't forget to adjust the facing too. If you need more width for waist/hips you can just add to the side seams. The style is lovely and so is the colour.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good with fitting issues yet so I don't think I can help you there. I love the color and style of the top though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips! Let's try again with the adjustments :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the color, I hope you work out the fitting issues.
ReplyDeleteI love the color and texture as it appears on my computer screen! The neckline is really cute. Another magazine I wish I could get here in the US and understand!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great top and really like the style.
