I'm not an expert—just a home sewist learning as I go! I’ll show you how I measured, compared my measurements to the pattern, and made adjustments for bust, waist, and hip. Then I sewed up the top and added fisheye darts at the back for a more flattering shape. 📏 Want to learn from the expert herself?
