I've been looking closely at the pattern for this and notice that the back piece (number 7) has a seam in it for the centre back. I see that the seam is ever so slightly curved - hence the need for it - rather than being placed on a fold. Would it be possible to take out this seam by straightening the centre back line (ie cutting back the allowance, and placing on fold)? I don't like seams down my back and am also trying to be a bit lazy! I know I'd need to check my hip measurements against the finished measurements but I'm sure I would be under anyway.
Love the new pattern! Yippee! to no zip and a more flattering neckline!!
