Dressmaking Made Easy - 1928 - Altering Patterns Part 3

More altering patterns, for "Prominent Abdomen, Larger Bust, Smaller Back, Larger Hip, Narrower Shoulders, Rounded Back, and Flat Chest". That should cover everything!

  2. Ha! Lately, I think ALL of the alterations might apply to me - except for Larger Bust. Why can't it be the other way around? :)

  3. I have books like these - they are a wealth of information. I've actually used quite a few alterations because my shoulders and arms are very muscular while my bust is *ahem* less than ample. Little girls' patterns need a lot of alteration around the neck - I'm guessing her shoulders will be a problem for her fitting when she is grown more, as well.
