Do you think that just continuing the lines of the side piece will make a nice shape? Or would some other adjustment work better? Thanks! (by the way, I made my first version knee length in light cotton and love it – great instruction as usual)!

(It fits and looks great)! So I was disappointed with this outcome on the second. I’m relatively new to sewing and just wanted some insight into what could be causing the puckers.

I’ve started a third in tencel and am having trouble with the neckline at the shoulder seam. It puckers! Could it be I pulled the facing too tight? I re-did and the second attempt was better but still not great. Pics attached. Any suggestions?
