Adjusted Slopers pt. II – Sarah Xi

I finally finished adjusting my slopers! Here are some changes from last time:

Brought the armscye down by a lot so it was less tight
Opened up the top part of sleeve since I took in 1 cm from center last time it was too tight all the way through.
Leveled the bodice at the bottom (waist line) (I realize now that I took the pictures before I trimmed it)
Tucked in 6cm from hip horizontally so waist to crotch length is shortened.

I almost done ripping the seams out of everything so the new sloper paper templates are coming soon.

Brought in 1/2 in. at chest

Decreased shoulder width by 1/4 in.
Brought in 1/2 in. at back chest

I think that the slopers fit better after making the adjustments. The armholes still feel a little cinched at some parts, but I think that is mostly due to small mistakes while sewing the sleeve on.
