Howdy again!
So we have our sleeves attached to the shoulders and the pockets done! Now we have to attach the bodice! If anyone is adding the skirt to this shirt, This is my trial of how to do this. Because of the arm hole construction, I can't just make the back panel smaller because it would move the arms too far behind. So I'll show you what I did instead!
So first we have to add the side panels to the front panel. I did these according to the pattern. Just the front panel to the sides. I LOVE THESE POCKETS!
So here you can see my dilemma! I haven't added the back panel but you can see how the shirt is QUITE a bit wider than the top skirt panel. So here is where I get creative. I am going to make the skirt panel larger and angle the back panel down.
the back panel flares out a bit when pinning so I'm just going to go straight down instead of following it.
This will nip in the waist a little bit. It's about 1.5-2 inches on each side.
Ta-Da! It's hard to tell because of the pattern, but its a few inches narrower at the waist!
Tomorrow I will show you the skirt and changes I'm making that to fit. Yay!
