I noticed that my bike shirts are all lower in the back than in the front when I stand, but it evens out when I bend over and ride.<br /><br />Have you considered inserting a back pocket for energy bars in the back dart seams?badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-37494220123600643592011-03-22T13:24:05.256-04:002011-03-22T13:24:05.256-04:00What an amazing set of clothes for this upcoming t...What an amazing set of clothes for this upcoming trip.

I have a similar body shape (smaller bust, wide back, muscular theighs/butt), and I've been wearing this shape for a while (extended shoulders) because it's so flattering and balances out my bottom half.

Kind of like you wouldn't prolong bust darts over the fullest part, you shouldn't have back darts that go over the roundest part of the shoulder blades. My own back darts are unusually long, much more than regular patterns, but stop as soon as you get really into the shoulder blade.Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-68412532383557157702011-03-19T03:13:18.714-04:002011-03-19T03:13:18.714-04:00It's brilliant!
