I had a really thin but muscular shouldered boyfriend who liked his shirts to be more fitted than he could find in stores, and he didn't want to pay for alterations, so he dropped by my house a lot ;^). I used to sew 2 long curved tapers length wise up the sides of the back so it nipped the waist area in and gave a more fitted look to the upper back. He got the idea from westernwear shirts a friend of his had. You could probably also try two or three small decorative pleats in the shoulder seam of the back next time out. And, BTW, If you did this up again in a white shimmery fabric it would make a gorgeous topper for a cocktail skirt at holiday time. Then you could let me borrow it! :^)You are inspiring!<BR/>-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363921935422034605.post-26310381850232858862007-09-05T03:45:00.000-07:002007-09-05T03:45:00.000-07:00I really like your blouse.

If you think it is a little full in the back, try taking a deeper seam in the upper center back seam. That may pull it in a little. I don't think it look big or bad as it is, but the wearer likes the feel of things a certain way.Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363921935422034605.post-61659629929345879122007-09-04T16:49:00.000-07:002007-09-04T16:49:00.000-07:00this looks awesome on you .

It just flatters everybody who has made this.<BR/><BR/>I bet you the room in the back will come in handy for work when you need to reach for something.
