This is awesome, Jen! I have made so many "square shoulder" adjustments by shifting up the armhole (that I traced) but every time I do it I wonder if I could just take the extra out the neck line instead. Thanks!
Hi~ I just had a thought, which I'd like to run past you for your opinion. It looks like the center back neck wedge (the pink colored "dart looking" thing) has a similar measurement (center fold to the curved neck where the fold used to be) as the same amount that the fabric pushed up on the shoulder line - closest to the neck. What if you just measure that center dart and took that measurement off the center shoulder seam? Then you wouldn't have to try it on again.
That sounds like that would work too... this is what I love about fitting, there's so many ways to achieve the same result! Thanks for fitting along with me
Aha moment.. Adding a wedge. What to do if there is scoliosis on one side? HRB is more pronounced on one side. Thank you for showing truing. I’ve always been confused about this process, and chose to take off from one line, rather than go in the middle.
if you have two different things going on between your right and left side, you can make "Full Front and Back" pattern pieces (so you can cut them flat on a single layer of fabric). Then you can make the shoulder adjustment to the side that you need it. Hope this helps! Thanks for fitting along with me... and I'm so sorry for the delayed response!
Excellent! Thank you for this clear and easy way to change the pattern. I have very straight shoulders and found that my clothes often don’t fit good because the shoulders of patterns are always at an angle. But I think I have to move the whole armhole to change it!?
:) You can shorten the shoulder... Then do an full bust adjustment to make room. These two adjustments are independent of each other, so you can easily do one then do the second! Thanks for watching
I notice you cut the pattern right through to the cutting line at the armhole rather than to the sewing line. Won’t that add a small amount of length at each cut resulting in a bigger armscye which would mean there was less ease when fitting the sleeve
Yes, technically, pivoting on the stitching line is the more accurate way to do it... But, honestly, I've played with pivoting on the stitching line vs. pivoting on the actual edge of the pattern pieces when working with knit fabrics. I haven't noticed a significant different between sewn up garments. Thanks for watching
I enjoyed your video How to adjust shoulder slope & length and will try to put to into practice on my next top. However I have already cut out a top and the shoulders are too long. I need to know how to fix that. I hope you can help me, it will be much appreciated.
I'm happy you're enjoying this video. To shorten a shoulder seam that has already been cut out of fabric, check out this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/OF1FFZvPgVk/видео.html
If the added wedge at the top of the center back caused gaping, could you take the width that was added out of the top of the armscye, thereby shortening the shoulder seam and narrowing the upper back?
If "straightening" the cb edge after doing a high round back adjustment causes the neckline to gape, you can try doing it this way. The original neckline and shoulder are re established after the length is added to the CB for a high round back. ruclips.net/video/60QHkSWSLfE/видео.html ...In this example, the width of the neckline is lengthened when you straight the CB edge... Taking if off the shoulder may help reduce the overall width of the back pattern piece, but the excess is still in the neckline and it may still gape. Hope this helps, Thanks for fitting along with me

Thanks! Can you send me a pic of how the armhole fits so I can see what's going on ... jsterndesigns37@gmail.com
This was very informative
Thanks!
