This is fantastic. I have been struggling with full bust adjustments and not understanding that it was the shoulder seen that was the problem all along!!! Thank you so much!

This can be tricky. Sometimes what looks like a sloped shoulder adjustment needed is actually a full bust adjustment needed and vice versa.

Fantastic video. Your teaching is clear and concise. Your visual examples, both on the muslins and the mini patterns are so helpful. This underscores the importance of sewing a muslin! 😊. While I don’t need these adjustments (I generally have to do a petite bodice adjustment) the techniques are applicable to so many other fitting fixes we have to do. Thanks, Melly!

Thanks for the great tutorial! You're an excellent teacher! When I do the forward shoulder adjustment, should I move the sleeve shoulder seam notch forward by the same amount? Thanks much!
@Mellysews
@Mellysews Жыл бұрын
It depends on where the notch is and whether you adjusted the sleeve cap. If the notch is nearer to the side seam you likely don't have to move it.

I wouldn't be making the garment from my final fabric without basting a muslin to check for fitting issues first.

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. If a top nearly falls off my shoulders, then is this a shoulder adjustment?

Could be. Could also just be the wrong size.

Probably fix the biggest problem first, which is probably your forward shoulders?

You can do it either way, you just want to do one change at a time and then test the fit from that change.

These are awesome adjustments. But my problem is that my bust is too high and i have excess fabric in the front and back shoulder height of almost all my tops and dresses. How do I adjust for that? I normally have at least 1.5 inches or more. Should I just cut the pattern across the bust? How do I adjust the sleeve after that? Helllppp meeee.
@Mellysews
@Mellysews Жыл бұрын
That doesn't make sense. A higher bust does not change the length of the armscye or shoulder slope. It sounds like maybe you have a full bust and that is pushing the garment up and you likely need a full bust adjustment to make the shoulders sit properly. mellysews.com/how-to-do-a-bust-adjustment/

Hi, one thing, many times the wrinkles are not from sloped shoulder but an arm hole that’s too big, I notice that is a much more common issue b/c pattern designers rather err on the large side. It’s a different fix.

If the sleeve is a gathered sleeve or puffy sleeve, would you need to do the adjustment? I am assuming this is for fitted sleeves?
@Mellysews
@Mellysews 11 ай бұрын
This isn't about sleeves at all. This is about how a garment fits at the shoulders. If you have shoulder fit issues it will affect everything, including the seams.

@@Mellysews I meant would you need to do the sleeve adjustment for the forward shoulder adjustment if it is a puffy gathered sleeve? I just made these adjustments and going to use the Anna Allen Anthea sleeve. Thanks
