I don't really think it is a bust issue, you seem to have that right now because there is no excess above as in the lower photo.<BR/><BR/>They always say the folds or pulls point to the problem. I just can't tell sometimes where it is pointing. However my first thought was it was hip issue.<BR/><BR/>Forget about it for now and enjoy the vacation.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-91715947766236551722008-06-22T17:18:00.000-07:002008-06-22T17:18:00.000-07:00Karen is right, you could be twin.

Try the first blouse without the sleeve, does it still have the drag lines in the front and the excess in the back? If no, then I think what happens is that you then insert the sleeve which forces the top to fit within the sleeve fit which causes everything to angle back. I think Karen has the same problem too.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203860590162568877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-26291061806322680142008-06-22T04:43:00.000-07:002008-06-22T04:43:00.000-07:00Nancy, maybe you are my much more slim twin?

Wouldn't you rather stay here and wrestle with your blouse so that I can just follow your sensible alteration plan? :) If I can ever face my blouse fitting issues again your work will be very helpful! I hope you have a good trip, and when you come back I will be wearing...t shirts!kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-83156854653020756972008-06-21T20:28:00.000-07:002008-06-21T20:28:00.000-07:00I hope you enjoy vacation!

I see additional fabric in the back above the waist, and the drag line run from your bust to your tush. That seems familiar from FFRP on a sway.LauraMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646972991522827672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-52171759779966702172008-06-21T19:38:00.000-07:002008-06-21T19:38:00.000-07:00Have fun on vacation.

One is that you could post on Artisan Square -- there's a Stitcher's guild critique section. It's at artisanssquare.com. <BR/><BR/>The next thought is that because you have a very erect stance, you need more length in the front and less in the back. It looks to me as if the tension is between the bust and the back of your hips. What may be happening is that the extra length in the back is dropping the waist (narrow) onto your hips. If so, folding out some of the length in the back waist (like the fish eye dart for back legs) might solve it. <BR/><BR/>Another idea is to release the side seam below the waist. The front and back should drop without tension.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
