I have been trying to fit SB's Tee when I realized that she has a slight forward shoulder adjustment built into the blouse. You can tell by where the shoulder dot is on the armhole. Hers is drafted for a slight forward shoulder. Perhaps if you took out her adjustment for this, your problems would disappear. I'm thinking of trying it on my tee. But seeing how knit tee patterns are a dime a dozen, I may just move onto another pattern. I wanted to point this out to though because I don't know if there is another pattern out there like this blouse.

Could be due to needing a bigger FBA (and then more contour darts under the bust to bring it back to your body). Or maybe moving the shoulder seem more forward so it does not pull to the back. Fit for Real People does cover the issue of tops pulling to the back.

A lot of people seem to shy away from SB's patterns because they just don't fit them. I've heard that a few times. Having said that I felt as if I wanted to reach through the screen and move the blouse forwards over your shoulders to your front. I know that's simplistic but if you pull it forwards at the shoulders does it sit better front and back then? I'm not sure even if it did, how you would convert that to the pattern. Sorry.

Your fit is looking much better than mine though at this point. Just a little bigger FBA and I think you'll have it. I really like this blouse on you.Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-8076544025846653072008-06-22T14:05:00.000+10:002008-06-22T14:05:00.000+10:00I love crinkle fabric, although I have to admit th...I love crinkle fabric, although I have to admit that I've only bought finished garments, I haven't sewn it.<BR/><BR/>When you wash it, hold it at the collar so it hangs straight down, then twist it tightly all the way to the bottom. Let it curl up on itself and tie it in a knot. Let it dry like that, and your hems should be lovely and crinkly again. It'll probably fit a little more flatteringly too after a wash and crinkle dry!<BR/><BR/>I think it's a great top, the colour looks really good on you!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329997752606696894noreply@blogger.com
