The fit on yours is fantastic. My fabric was a woven cotton with some stretch and I found I didn't need to do my broad back alteration (which is usually around an inch both sides). <br />And thanks for the advice on the serger on pinterest!<br />Trumbelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145834807214647985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-28608438371197459972012-11-30T09:43:51.654-05:002012-11-30T09:43:51.654-05:00Super, super!
