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💕
