Notes The pattern is intended for non-stretch fabrics and had a 1 inch ease. I removed the ease and seam allowance. Sewed everything at a 5/8.
I want the final project to have a turtle neck, so I brought the neckline up. Could probably make the neckline a bit lower.

Issues with fabric bunching when I lift arms. Leaves fabric sitting over bust. Considering making shoulders less wide. Considering if perhaps I need to make torso longer.

Overall, it's cute. I just need to work kinks out of it for a velour Fabric

Edit with new model:
Did an upper chest (6 inch x1.5 inch dart) and upper back adjustment (5inch x 1 inch dart) and added a collar. The sway back adjustment did cause more fabric around the butt area, so looking to modify that before my final dress.
