Love your pattern altering...very precise and wow the results speak for themselves!!!!<br />The back wrinkles probably mean that the neck to waist length is a little too long or you are standing up too straight. You need that ease for leaning forward and hugging your friends at church after all!

I recently spent a long time trying to work out an FBA on a princess seam shirt and had the side seam going towards the back like you did. I finally realized I needed to take the tuck from centre front as you did.I thought maybe I was doing something wrong whilst doing the FBA so I am glad to see someone else do the same adjustment.waikikimumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442934965916783471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-70142749383023498302012-04-10T16:40:12.802-04:002012-04-10T16:40:12.802-04:00You look great!You look great!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818182968849661620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469386917866922229.post-56870215943799261132012-04-10T15:34:26.174-04:002012-04-10T15:34:26.174-04:00I love your dress!!
