- Those bust points should be about 1" further out on each side. The recommended 3/4" ease is not enough.
- The waist darts need to be shifted out to the sides a bit more. I'm considering making two very slim darts instead of one big one.
- The collar is still too big.
- Hip line does not have quite enough ease to be worn over my jeans. I like a bit more space.
- I shifted the sleeve towards the back, which solved the twisting problem. But now theBack of the sleeve at the armhole needs to have a bit removed, front too. Guess I will have to reshape the sleeve seam.
- My side seam shifts towards the back at the hip.
- The back is still very baggy above the waist. Since the hip is too tight, it poofs out between the shoulder blades to the top of the hip.
- But the length will be fine once hemmed. I fixed the front by adding about 1 1/2" tapering to the side seam.
- Also added 1" to the bicep for space.
- Practiced a little sleeve detail at the back of the sleeve. I think I'll move it to the side and make it longer, it's about 3" now... maybe cut the sleeves to 3/4 length too. I plan on making the same gathered detail at the bust along the center front when I get this shirt perfected.
Okay... that's it for today, it's time to do the mommy thing again and pick up kids.
