So I undid that, then took up left the shoulder seam by about 1/2". That smoothed it out!Ann Brodskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893522256894299340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990612353550273255.post-9652582575019396412014-09-18T08:24:11.362-05:002014-09-18T08:24:11.362-05:00Hello Ann,

Firstly - It looks sensational on you and it is hard to believe that someone who looks so youthful has been married for 28 years - Congratulations!! I was hoping to read in your blog more detail on what you did with the excess fabric your daughter pinned out of the fashion fabric after your initial scoliosis adjustment. You refer to a seam but I can't make out a seam into which that excess fabric could have gone into. I would love to know how you managed to achieve such a smooth fit after the tissue fitting stage and fabric cutting stage and which seam you sewed the excess into.dagmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504276024124184601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990612353550273255.post-437200351125297132014-09-17T21:54:57.161-05:002014-09-17T21:54:57.161-05:00Thank you, Melissa!Thank you, Melissa!Ann Brodskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893522256894299340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990612353550273255.post-70040110420074914272014-09-17T21:54:32.595-05:002014-09-17T21:54:32.595-05:00Thanks, Vicki!Thanks, Vicki!Ann Brodskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893522256894299340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990612353550273255.post-78005337845891846222014-09-17T20:43:23.871-05:002014-09-17T20:43:23.871-05:00Gorgeous!
