Notes	Fabric: cotton -nylon lace with viscose jersey backing already fused to it. Makes total 70% and don’t remember the rest of the % :) Very little, practically unnoticeable stretch. I am looking to use black piping or similar Fit and alterations : For me the upper chest circumference is 3-4 cm too large. As well as the neckline circumference : I took out a wedge in the neck to tighten the neckline, and took out a wedge from the bust going to the neckline on each front pieces. I had to lower the bust point by 2 cms, and I think that if I use a minimal shoulder pad it will be perfect but without it I would have to raise the armholes a little. It is with thin garment underneath and without lining. Would it be much different it I added a lining ?
