My arms are on the more muscular side and I was was wondering if you knew how I could modify the sleeves on this pattern to accommodate them. I always have to add a couple of inches to pattern sleeves. Thanks!ECChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454948179760030564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-66213227558953558452015-12-11T11:08:36.363-05:002015-12-11T11:08:36.363-05:00I was thinking about the same thing.

They're not going to do double sided very well.

I can't pretend to know for certain though! Why don't you cut one set of bodice pieces and put them together as a quickie "muslin" and check just to be sure you're happy with the fit. I will say that the fit on this is fluid, it's okay if it gathers and drapes around the shoulders and arms.

How does one modify a pattern like this for narrow shoulders? Or will this self correct because it's a knit and a wrap? I've made about four muslins of the dress in your second book that has the same one piece top, and I still haven't hit on the sweet spot.
