In the meantime, I'd suggest smoothing out the hem at the side seam so the change is more subtle.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! Every now and again I find a rogue pattern where the measurements seem just plain wrong (I've actually recycled one such, and that was a knit New Look pattern). I wonder if this is one of those? Anyway I will be carefully comparing pattern pieces to existing fitting pieces!

I thought about just wadding it a few times ;-) I was wondering the quality of the knit myself, but I've now made a few things with it and they hold up well. I will be trying the wedge you mention over the back/rear - it is kind of what I was thinking. Palmer/Pletsch kept going through my mind "length/width over bumps" hahaha.

That person decided to add a wedge of fabric at the back - widening the back piece to cover the bum, and that helped the back of the top hang better.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712973868701470983.post-14928982523179122292014-06-21T19:50:15.868-05:002014-06-21T19:50:15.868-05:00Wow!

But geez - I know how frustrating that is when a seemingly quick and easy pattern becomes a whole lotta work!! The end result looks great though, and now you've got a pattern that will work for you in the future. And thanks for the info on the Robert Kaufmann jersey - I've considered buying it a few times and then didn't. Now I probably will in the future thanks to your recommendation!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712973868701470983.post-46672592843321409972014-06-21T12:09:50.876-05:002014-06-21T12:09:50.876-05:00Wow, it looks fantastic, so all your efforts paid ...Wow, it looks fantastic, so all your efforts paid off! I am in need of tank tops myself and looked at that pattern too, but haven't purchased it.
