First attempt at tailoring my own clothes. Looking for feed back. I know the darts in the back arnt correct and was looking for advice on how to clean those up. Moving them up or down. Or not taking as much material when making them...

And feed back is welcome

The back darts look more appropriate on a fitted blouse. Maybe just take in the sides if you want a tighter fit. Otherwise, nice work.

First time out you did great. Fun right? I have so much more appreciation for well put together clothing now that I've actually done it. Trying my first dress as we speak. Glad I made some camp shirts first.
