HI all,
I have only one little tiny problem left in getting a really good fitting torso sloper and I hoping someone can help me with it. The back of the sloper has a small horizontal wrinkle/pucker (not sure which) running exactly along the back bust line. I was very careful in sewing the darts so it's not a construction problem. This pucker/wrinkle does not extend all the way to the armhole (which is why I suspect it may actually be a pucker). The back armhole seems to fit ok, though it's a wee tighter from back bust to underarm seam than would be normal in a "real" garment. From what I've been able to gather from Kaaren's classes this might mean the back slope is a tad off, but since I just got the shoulder seams aligned and balanced beautifully I don't want to mess with that number without being sure that the slope is the fix for the problem. The straight lengths to waist are all just fine.
Any help would be appreciated. As soon as this is fixed it's off to the races, I have like 5 different blouse designs waiting in the wings and I have the fabric for them too.

Thanks,

Judy

I would assume that the across the back is a tad too long here,but then if your not sure its a wrinkle or pucker, its hard to say,why not post a pic on the club page under slopers,then Kaaren can tell you immediatly whats to fix on your sloper.
