DOES YOUR TOP RIDE UP OVER YOUR STOMACH? CHECK THE LENGTH. Sometimes a top is not only too tight across the stomach—it is also too short in front because your curves use more fabric length. Try this before cutting your pattern: 1. Measure from your shoulder down over the fullest part of your stomach to where you want the top to end. 2. Compare that measurement with the front pattern piece. 3. Add the extra length to the front only if the back length already fits. 4. Blend the side seam smoothly so the front and back can still be sewn together. Remember: adding length alone may not stop the front from riding up. A full tummy can need extra width too. Save this tip and comment LENGTH if this explains what your tops have been doing! Stay tuned we do the FULL TUMMY adjustment later in the week! —Michele🦋 Your Creative Empowerment Mentor💕

When a garment fits your hips but pulls across your stomach, rides up in front or makes the waistband dip, that does not mean you need to hide your body 👏🏾 It means the garment needs more length, width—or both—where your body carries its fullness🧵🪡 That is a fit issue. And fit issues can be adjusted😃 This week, we’re replacing “I need to lose my stomach” with: “I need to make room in my garment.” 🦋 Have you ever bought a larger size just to get enough room across your stomach? This week we fix that❣️ —Smooches— Your Creative Empowerment Mentor 💕🦋
