It allows the shirt to be fitted over my bustline yet give me enough room for my abdomen which hasn't been flat in years! Yes, the side front and front piece match up. The front piece also has a little added to it from the same dip point and below...it's just not as noticeable.<br /><br />And no, I did not share this on the blog. I guess I didn't think anyone would be interested because some fitting changes really only apply to your own body. It's just a sentence or two in one of the older posts. My advice though is that your pattern pieces should reflect your body and don't necessarily have to look like they do coming out of the pattern envelope.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-83871145245859028972018-04-07T15:45:11.418-04:002018-04-07T15:45:11.418-04:00Beautiful use of this border print!

I never would have thought you could use a princess seam right in the middle of the floral panel, but you did it to perfection. <br /><br />I'm interested in the shape of your side-front piece. The little inward dip just below the bust looks like a good way to avoid the over-blousy look at the lower bust while still allowing enough space for both bust and tummy. Have you demonstrated this and I missed it? I would love to know how you trued the 2 seam lengths and how it is sewn.<br /><br />Thanks as always for sharing your skills and talent. You are an inspiration!<br />(This comment was deleted and reposted to clarify.
