Just wondering if your material selection had any bearing on the fit.
I have found that not all stretch fabric are the same, some have so much more stretch than others. I made t-shirts for my son when he was young, same pattern different interlock fabric, one fitted great and the other one we couldn’t get over his head. Just a thought. Sherry

http://www.stylearc.com.au

that has some blouse patterns similar to what you looking for. They also send you a free pattern with each pattern order and their size range goes from size 4 to 30 so covers everyone. I love both blouses particularly the hot pink. Hope you find what you are looking for.

It is so nice to see the little ones taking such an interest this year. My 7yr granddaughter sang “The Last Anzac” at assembly yesterday, it is such a beautiful song and the words just touched my heart, it is a tribute to Alex Campbell who died not so long ago, but a moving tribute to all soldiers.

Is it stitch onto the main fabric, then the lining placed over the top and stitch again? Might have to try this.
