I've had that problem in most sheath type patterns. I've had to take as much as 4 inches from the back center seam at the neck before. Does my head/neck shift way forward like a goose? Do I have a hump I'm not aware of? Am I narrow and dainty in the ONE place on my body I have no feasible way of viewing? <BR/><BR/>Inquiring minds want to know!! :P<BR/><BR/>angieangie.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575366388194033626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18711912.post-14560293306987874402008-05-14T21:47:00.000-04:002008-05-14T21:47:00.000-04:00Sorry about that.

The whole upper part was tight - I had to scoop out the armholes and even then it was too tight and didn't really fit well, therefore, from there on down.<BR/><BR/>It seems like you had the same problem.<BR/><BR/>Would it behave better in a size up? Maybe. But it isn't such a great pattern that I would be going for that. I look better in a V neck, I think, and while the pleats are cool - they aren't Wow.<BR/><BR/>So I am moving on. The jacket however, I am going to try.....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting us know how it went.<BR/><BR/>DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
