After making my muslin additional adjustments came to fruition. First if I may digress and show you the last pre muslin adjustment that was made.
Shortening the torso length without inhibiting the front button markings:
1. On the back piece (and the side piece too) make a standard shortening on the pattern using the provided line. I reduced my waistline 1".
Don't forget to blend the side seams after making the reduction.
2. On the front piece the same concept is applied.
Now look at the messy state of my muslin.
I need to take out some bulk from the front, I'm swimming in this coat I was so worried it would be too tight and now it is too damn loose.
The arm has to be raised, my movement is limited.
To fix this, the pivot point is moved up 1" on the front piece. The seams are blended out to accommodate the new pivot point.
Then the gusset and side piece receive 1" extensions.Square shoulder issue at the neckline needs to be wedged out. That collar is a crazy mess!
Pocket markings need to be lowered because of my pathetic short torso and long arms.
Easy fix I just moved the markings down 1 1/2".
The upper back is OK just need to work out shoulder issues.
Adding a slight swayback adjustment.
Lastly, moving the shoulder dart on the right shoulder forward 1/2" as my right shoulder is wonky.
