Sorry for a terrible bathroom mirror selfie shot (hey my camera skills are at the very least consistent) but I thought I'd show you all a "wearble muslin" I made:
And a side view:
Close up of envelope illustration,I used view A:
This time I've made a few changes to the pattern before cutting: raised the armhole a bit, taken in the sleeve width a bit (the original pattern gave me lovely tuck shop lady "wings"), made the sleeves 3/4 length (I just hacked them off on the floral top, this time I folded back the pattern piece to the length I wanted) and lowered the neckline (to be more like the RTW scoop necks I buy).
Think I may have gone a bit too low with the neckline this time, but am guessing that if I retrace it somewhere in between the two depths I've tried it should be close to spot on next time!
Walking that wobbly line of trying not too look too frumpy while also avoiding accidentally getting the "girls" out for all and sundry to see the first time I lean over :O
I'm enjoying playing around with this pattern and really hope that I will end up with a very usable TNT t-shirt pattern at the end of it.

Happy Sewing!

It's the same Kwik Sew 2643 pattern I used for the floral top I made last week.
