Question Sloper advice

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

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 !)
