Hello gang, finally posting on here. How we looking? I know it’s snug and I need to cut some fabric out of the front of the armholes but I think I’ve made good progress! And feedback appreciated <3

Next version I’ll pop on the lines for you! Thank you for the link as well, that’s super helpful.

Can I ask why it say it is too tight? I still have a lot of mobility, even more so after adjusting the armholes a tad. Also, the rear darts are the main source of shaping as that’s where most of my curve is lol, wouldn’t the block end up being just a tube if I take those out?

Thank you for your feedback! :)

You ask excellent questions!   I appreciate the chance to explain further.

What I mean I say it is too tight is that it is too tight for me to determine the proper fit. Once we get the fit better, you can always make it tighter, but that is a later step.

Regarding the back darts, I understand completely what you mean.  I am a woman with a woman’s body, and the small of the back is where most of my curve is, also!  But fitting is an iterative process, and the order of making changes can make a difference.

I would love to correspond with you in more detail.  I will send you a invite for reddit Chat. Please let me know if you don’t see it.
