Sewing weekend

It feels good to be sewing again!  I spent yesterday making fitting adjustments to McCall's 6964.
I am making View D, with print for front and back, and contrast for sleeves and neckband.

The black fabric is a thin knit that has open areas so that skin will will be seen. I think I purchased this from fabric.com.  I wish I had some more and will visit their site to see if I can track my previous order.

Here is a view of the top with darts sewn.  I have attached at the shoulders and basted the side seams for second fitting.  I had added one inch just in case seam allowance but find I really do not need it for the knit I am using.  This is from EOS.

    You mentioned sewing the darts, but I didn't see any in the pattern photo. I assume you are adding them?

    The pattern has lines to add a FBA and a dart. So for my fit I needed darts.
