If you raise the V-neck (which you can absolutely do, no problem) you’ll want to shorten the collar at the center back so it fits correctly. Again, easy to do–just measure at the seam line and shorten at the back seam by the same amount. I hope that helps!

I have a short shoulder to bust length and may need to raise the V neck a bit. Will I also need to modify the shawl collar? If I raise the neckline 1” should the collar be shortened by 2” ? Retaper the center front points?
Thanks so much for your advice. I can’t wait to start on this new design.

As I know, the Fira dress pattern is available in both downloadable PDF and printed paper format.
I opt for printed paper, because no printer required. However, you have to be aware of things like it is more expensive, can take several days or even weeks to arrive.

Ok, it looks like maybe your shoulders are wider than the pattern? I think you could make an adjustment for this by drawing a wider shoulder on the front and back pattern pieces.

Yes, I meant draglines. (Stupid autocorrection.) The folds go from the shoulder to the inner elbow. It is worse on the right shoulder.

Hi Claudia, I’m not sure what you mean by drawings? Do you mean drag lines? Can you post a photo so we can see what’s happening?

Hi
The sleeves of the yanaka have these dreadful drawings from the shoulder to the inner arms and I cannot figure out what to do. Grateful for your ideas
Happy sewing
