I would recommend doing a muslin to test fit. How much are you needing to add at the waist? You have two side seams to work with plus the side seams and front seam of the skirt. I would figure out how much you need to increase first. If it’s just an inch you could taper your seams to a smaller seam allowance where they will meet the waist. Just make sure you take the same amount out of both bodice and skirt. If it’s more than that I would add to the waist by widening each pattern piece and tapering back to the original seam. So in the bodice you would divide how much you need to add by 4 (left front, left back, right front, right back) and in the skirt I would divide by 6 ( both back pieces and each side of the front pieces). Hope that makes sense Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947101024644713138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754311566367317554.post-27182098688206649442022-05-04T19:50:13.367-05:002022-05-04T19:50:13.367-05:00Ashley
