I've almost finished this UFO, which I'm reasonably pleased with.
https://jaycotts.co.uk/products/bd6972#.XT6v4XmotPYHowever, the front closure is a little awkward because its show a little too much cleavage for my liking but I think I can do a work around by possibly carefully meeting the centre opening and sew some stretch lace on the inside to hold the edges together which would make it easier to pull on and off (its an overhead dress with no side or back opening).
My main problem now is that I did not narrow the shoulders when I cut it out so the shoulder seam is 2 cms too long and the sleeve head falls over to my upper arm.
Can I remove the sleeve head, and reposition it to the shoulder seam at the top by 2 cms (leaving the sleeve head seam as usual 1.5cm) and "grade" the seam around the front and back down to normal 1.5 though to the armpit?
(I don't know if I've explained that clearly or not.)
Alternative is I can put 2 cm dart in the middle of the shoulder seams on front and back pieces which would lift the sleeve head?
Any ideas, anyone?
