The flat pattern adjustments I'll plan to do are a full bust adjustment (FBA) but also I'll reallocate about 1" to the back because when I put the muslin on it's the right circumferance around my hips but the side seams swing towards the back indicating that there needs to be some fabric added there. The collar definately looks better flatter but I don't want it to be too flat so I'll have to pull out the trusty patternmaking book. I will probably trace the neckline out and use that as a guide. I'll also make a narrow shoulder adjustment. Then recut the muslin and work on the sleeve. I'm not usually a muslin making person because I usually feel confident at making my adjustments but my body has changed and its been awhile so I don't really know which adjustments I'll need off the top of my head.
I plan to get fabric from Mood this weekend though if I can't find the perfect thing I have 4 yards of a wool cashmere blend in grey I can use. The thing is its a plaid with a pretty blue stripe and I'm not sure if I want to match plaids on this project and it's very conservative. I was thinking Pan Am blue and then a fun lining. The pattern suggests buying 3.5 yards which for a short jacket I find outrageous so am trying to do my adjustments today so I can layout a marker. An extra yard or two saved can mean money for a whole new project.
