P brought me beans from the garden
Yesterday I sewed the first muslin for the Rhapsody top, and started
fitting. I had to take in 3/4" at center front and 1" at the shoulder seams
to fix a gape and raise the bustline (it's a drop shoulder pattern and the
top shoulder mark wasn't labeled, so I added height in front when I didn't
need it). Then I started on the back. I've slashed across the shoulders and
added 3/4" there, but it's still tight at the rear underarm. I might need
to add some width at the cross back, or maybe raise the yoke seam so the
pleat will take care of it.
I also took some scantily-clad photos and converted them into outlines so I
can make personalized croquis for sketches. I have some body image issues I
wasn't aware of, which is good to know. Seeing them as sewing challenges
seems to help, but I'll have to continue to work on them.
