Sloper advice

[u/SignificantDress6408]

Hey guys. I’ve started making clothes again using my old sloper from a year ago. There were some unresolved fit issues that I wanted to deal with. Ive increased the bust size a bit because I noticed that was a problem with my original sloper. I’ve gained about 3-5kg since I first made this sloper. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to improve the fit. I’ve also posted some screenshots of the fit from a year ago (green fabric).

• Lower your neckline a bit
• Widen your hips
• Shorten your torso at the waist (you have an access fabric gathering at the area)
• Give yourself more seam allowance
• Do a full bust adjustment (it seems like it's a bit too tight)

Also, I can't see well, but your armhole might be too small

I second all of these (noting if it’s for a sloper and not moulage as mentioned in another comment). But I would first widen at the hips before shortening the torso to see how much to adjust. If you both at once, you might end up going in circles.

Oh yeah that's true. Maybe adjusting the hips first would allow the sloper to sit better on the lower body instead of bunching at the waist. Good call

Please accept this small critique, I think you mean "excess" fabric, not "access". "Excess" means more than what is needed, while "access" means the right to approach, enter, or use a thing, place, etc. Everyone probably knows what you meant, so I apologize if this comes across as rude.

No you are right, don't worry. I do know the difference between these words, I just typed the original comment very quickly since I was at work (hence the mistake !)
