This pattern suggests "Finding the Perfect Fit" as it is drafted with average/standard measurements. As I have several fitting issues, I made a muslin with Michael Miller woven fabric.
I found that I needed alterations to the torso portion.
Back to the pieces I traced . . . .
At the lengthen/shorten line, I shortened the torso area, and worked on my "sway-back" issues.
Information on how to "find your perfect fit" is provided in the pattern instructions.
Links to various tutorials and blog posts are included to help you achieve a great fit.
(I traced the pattern and marked my Apex, an important point in placing darts on a fitted garment; and used a Full Bust Adjustment later to better fit my body.
Both garments shown in this post are my muslins. This pattern suggests making a "Shell" which is also known as a muslin.)
For my next version, I sized down a couple of sizes to use this lovely floral knit from #girlcharlee (from a KnitFix sale).
With the modifications made to my pattern pieces,
I have the fit I wanted. Yay!
