Fitting Q&A _ Extra fabric at the back waist
Q: How do I remove the extra fabric at her back waist?
A: You can see the draglines in the side view. This makes extra fabric at the back. You can either shorten the back length or lengthen the front length.
If you shorten the back length, cut out the extra between the underarm line and the center back neck. The underarm point will go up, so pay attention if this is okay with you.
If you lengthen the front length, draw a horizontal line between the underarm line and the center front. And open it. It will remove the draglines and make the side seam balanced. This action will lower the underarm point, so pay attention to whether this is okay with you.
