Sorbetto Alterations

A little Before & After on the Colette Patterns Sorbetto top, with alterations detailed below.

On the back, you can see that I added a center back seam in the gingham.  This is because I did not have enough fabric to cut a full back piece.  I took advantage of the seam to remove some of the excess fabric.  I still have a way to go here.  



 In both tops, I widened from the waist down.  In the gingham top, I also scooped the hemline on back and front.  I think it's more flattering to have a slight curve across the hip.

On the gingham top, I cut the armscye in a bit, and also raised the bust dart by 1"


Finally, I added to the back, and removed from the front shoulder seam - this is an effort to get it to stop falling to the back and riding up in front.
