Faux wrap front. I sized to my bust with. I've already swung 1.5 inches out of the upper bust to the waist, but still have extra fabric and tension issues. Also have trouble keeping the neckline(which is on grain) tight against my bust.
Am remembering why I swore off certain commercial patterns. Every time I have major armscye issues. I initially did a full bust adjustment, but the crazy amount of ease made it a tent. Tried something else.
Have half a mind to just drape to get the look, using the armscye from a size down. Was hoping to do this via pattern manipulation.
Where there's a wrinkle or gap, pin a dart from gap edge all the way to the opposite seam edge of your muslin. Basically you are taking out length along one edge of the pattern.. Stitch the dart into your muslin and use this new shape as the pattern for your garment.
I hope this helps you. I can recommend free videos, if you'd like.
@PatsyBaloney@sewing I had done that already! This was my second muslin. Took 1.5 inches out of the armscye and rotated to my waistline, but in retrospect should have taken 2 inches.
I ended up draping it. The pattern had at least 3 inches of ease I was struggling with as well.
The waistline is also on the bias (what the pattern called for) and I didn't think to reinforce, so it has some bias stretch issues as well.
