Quick Question

Hello lovely people, this is my first time on here and I'm after a little advice.

I recently made my first vetiver blouse by French Navy. I loved making this. The only issue I have is that the shoulders seem slightly dropped on me. I searched Instagram etc for picture of others peoples make and I'm wondering if that's how it's supposed to be...

Has anyone else made this and if so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks so much!

Nicky

Hi Nicky, looking at the pattern on the French Navy website it does look like the shoulder seam extends slightly past the natural shoulder seam. However if that's not look you like you can do a narrow shoulder adjustment next time to bring it in a bit.

In the past I have been known to fix this after the fact by adding a little pleat in the shoulder seam
