After making the tank here, I decided just a little more tweaking was necessary. Here are the changes (sorry, it is a little light but you can zoom in):
The is the back of the Phoebe Tank pattern. I keep the original alterations and added 5/8-inch at the hipline to nothing at the armscye.
This is the pattern that I went back to the start on, The last muslin, I made the bust dart and then closed the dart. Then made a tank. The pattern still needed a bit of tweaking. I made a change that I do not usually attempt. Since I was still getting a little bit of gapping at the armscye, I made a dart and transferred it to the hem. If you zoom in, you can see where I had corrected the width of the pattern along with all the dart changes. I also decided to make a small change to the 3/8-inch that I had added to the side with the last muslin. I left the 3/8-inch at the bust and took it to nothing at the bottom. Hoping this will help with the extra fabric in the front. Okay, I know it is only 3/4-inch difference but it will help.
Here is the result of the those effort in white linen:
The right side shows just a tad of wrinkling around the bust. I think I am going to call this done. All that needs to be done now is trace the front pattern piece and date it.
I already have another piece of linen coming for another tank in this pattern. I had been thinking about making a dress from this pattern. We will see. I have lots of clothes. I need to concentrate on some bottoms so my next muslin will be pants. Most likely Love Notions Allegro Bottoms pattern.
Happy Stitching!
