Mrs Mole's Fit-a-long Better back darts

After making heavy weather for the last week or so, today was fairly plain sailing. Maybe I'm straighter today (And it does help to wear the same bra each time).

Shortened the darts 1.5“ at the bottom, and half that at the top to the old bust line mark. Kept at their narrower than original intake of about 1/2“.

Then the saggy side 'panel'. My first estimate was take a wedge tapering from nothing at the yoke line to 1/4"at the bust line, and a steady 1/4" all the way down to the hem. And that's good enough. 

Next steps: Before doing the flat pattern manipulation to take out that very long narrow dart, I want to revisit the overfitted shoulder line. It works, but would be better with some smoothing.

And to revisit the armscyes. With repeated additions at the shoulder seam, they are even lower than the originals - a full hand width below the pit. I don't have a cardi, a jacket or a coat that would fit over such a low scye.

Sounds like a plan for next week.
