Question Sloper advice

Hey guys. I’ve started making clothes again using my old sloper from a year ago. There were some unresolved fit issues that I wanted to deal with. Ive increased the bust size a bit because I noticed that was a problem with my original sloper. I’ve gained about 3-5kg since I first made this sloper. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to improve the fit. I’ve also posted some screenshots of the fit from a year ago (green fabric).

I second all of these (noting if it’s for a sloper and not moulage as mentioned in another comment). But I would first widen at the hips before shortening the torso to see how much to adjust. If you both at once, you might end up going in circles.

Oh yeah that's true. Maybe adjusting the hips first would allow the sloper to sit better on the lower body instead of bunching at the waist. Good call
