I always remember Kenneth King saying "the back armhole has a shallower curve to allow the movement, and the front is deeper to accept it." So why wouldn't the upper sleeve curves mirror this? But I'd never make myself something that had the same bodice piece for the front and back! Wise changes you made - this top looks fabulous!Janeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849692854181978835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-38577936724294554592019-02-01T10:26:26.165-06:002019-02-01T10:26:26.165-06:00The top with black and white is so perfect fitting...The top with black and white is so perfect fitting and looks great.

Scarves make more sense. However I love your fitting experiments, and with all the fitting adjustments I have to make, you've inspired me to follow your lead and try to'maximize the use of my patterns' by focusing on getting good fit on basic items that I can then modify for lots of variations.Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013073315698648712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-71251423652706287462019-01-31T22:39:48.745-06:002019-01-31T22:39:48.745-06:00I have the same fabric as the first top you made! ...I have the same fabric as the first top you made!
