Red Velvet Muslin 2 side
This version has about 3/4" torso length added, and I think it's an improvement but not enough. I've adjusted my pattern piece with an extra inch of torso length, and also lowered the underarm seam a little.
I moved the side bust pleat out to the side by a small amount, and stitched it down, but I think it might work better as an actual dart. It's slightly less fabric now that the side seam has been extended (and the bottom curve of the bodice adjusted accordingly), and I think the placement works, just not the way the pleat opens up.
I think this might be close enough for me to make those adjustments on the pattern and go ahead and cut out the actual fabric instead of another muslin. Progress!
