The Shapely Shirt pattern is altered to the point of making a muslin. I
My Vogue 7281 muslin is awaiting it's turn on the alteration table. I was so disappointed at first about how this muslin turned out--I pretty much cut that pattern out of envelope except that I added for my hips. It did not fit--ironically the hips were too big! And everything else except the upper back was too small. I think it needs all the alterations listed above, with the addition of forward shoulder alteration. which I will happily do because I really like this pattern. The alterations will be interesting because this shirt has cut-on sleeves. Luckily, this is covered in Fit for Real People (FFRP).
And, before I do all of the above, I simply must hem my dd's shirt. That shouldn't take long, right?
- Narrowed the upper back
- Did a swayback alteration (and added a center back seam to accommodate all the back curves)
- Did a full bust alteration (FBA)
- Enlarged the upper arm
