Hi everyone!
So I'm starting to sew a walking dress for a friend and I'm having a bit of trouble with sizing. I've found a pattern (mostly so I don't need to do the bodice from scratch) and according to it's sizing, she's a Medium across the bust and hips but an XL across her waist. I know the bust is harder to adjust (plus it has a yoke that I don't want to mess with) so I figure I need to try adjust the bodice so that it goes from M in the shoulders down to XL on the waist.
But, uh, how do I go about doing that?
I'm happy to be pointed towards any tutorials off-site :3
Notes:
- The pattern is from here.
- Bodice is 6 pieces (plus 2 for the yoke)
- The top of the front bodice has gathering (where it connects to the yoke)
- The skirt has a gathered waistline, but the bodice doesn't.
- The bodice has a zipper down one side (under the arm, into the skirt).
tl;dr: How do I widen the waist of a bodice?
