That is difficult, because altering the chest usually also means altering the armholes, Yeah...how are the armholes? Look at the construction. I'll bet the sleeve seam and the side seams were sewn last and at once. [Flat fell seams?] 4" is just 2" a side seam, which is 1" on the front piece and 1" on the back piece. IOW, if you fold the shirt on the side seam and come in 1"...and do that on both sides, you've got your chest prob solved...but you'll need to taper that pinch out to nothing in the sleeve seam. If there's oodles of room in the upper sleeve, you're OK. And then, like already suggested, 2 banana darts either side of CB that take up 1" at waist level and taper away to nothing quickly [like a 1970s shirt] will do the extra you want out of the waist. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
