This tutorial was extremely helpful! I've read about these issues, but having you explain and use the mannequin really made things click for me. Thank you!!!

I can’t tell you how relevatory this tutorial was!! GAME CHANGER. Thank you!!!
Glad it's helpful!
One of the best explanations I have seen Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is fantastic. I have been struggling with full bust adjustments and not understanding that it was the shoulder seen that was the problem all along!!! Thank you so much!
This can be tricky. Sometimes what looks like a sloped shoulder adjustment needed is actually a full bust adjustment needed and vice versa.
This tutorial is excellent! You explained the problem and solution well for each situation. Thank you for the visuals and clear explanations! I hope you continue to make videos like this! You’re a great teacher!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this. I always increased/decreased the arm scye and got into loads of issues. It never occured to me to move the whole armhole! :)
Glad it helped!

Glad it was helpful!
You've explained my issues with tops creeping backwards. This generally ony happens with woven tops for me and I'm excited to finally know how to fix it.
Glad to help!
Fantastic video. Your teaching is clear and concise. Your visual examples, both on the muslins and the mini patterns are so helpful. This underscores the importance of sewing a muslin! 😊. While I don’t need these adjustments (I generally have to do a petite bodice adjustment) the techniques are applicable to so many other fitting fixes we have to do. Thanks, Melly!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great tutorial! You're an excellent teacher! When I do the forward shoulder adjustment, should I move the sleeve shoulder seam notch forward by the same amount? Thanks much!
It depends on where the notch is and whether you adjusted the sleeve cap. If the notch is nearer to the side seam you likely don't have to move it.
Thank you for the great instruction! When you go to make these adjustments, do you pick apart the garment and start from scratch?
I wouldn't be making the garment from my final fabric without basting a muslin to check for fitting issues first.
Thanks for the helpful tutorial. If a top nearly falls off my shoulders, then is this a shoulder adjustment?
Could be. Could also just be the wrong size.
Very helpful. What if I need a forward shoulder adjustment and a sloped shoulder adjustment? Do I do both? Which comes first? Thanks
Probably fix the biggest problem first, which is probably your forward shoulders?
You can do it either way, you just want to do one change at a time and then test the fit from that change.
Thanks for asking - I had the same question. 😊
Hi, one thing, many times the wrinkles are not from sloped shoulder but an arm hole that’s too big, I notice that is a much more common issue b/c pattern designers rather err on the large side. It’s a different fix.
Yes, but that's not the subject of this video
These are awesome adjustments. But my problem is that my bust is too high and i have excess fabric in the front and back shoulder height of almost all my tops and dresses. How do I adjust for that? I normally have at least 1.5 inches or more. Should I just cut the pattern across the bust? How do I adjust the sleeve after that? Helllppp meeee.
That doesn't make sense. A higher bust does not change the length of the armscye or shoulder slope. It sounds like maybe you have a full bust and that is pushing the garment up and you likely need a full bust adjustment to make the shoulders sit properly. mellysews.com/how-to-do-a-bust-adjustment/
my shoulder seam sits well on shoulder slant but there is a slight gap at high point shoulder. please advise how to solve that issue?
Covered that in the video, straight shoulder
Does the forward shoulder adjustment alter the neck?
If done correctly the neckline should remain the same length
If the sleeve is a gathered sleeve or puffy sleeve, would you need to do the adjustment? I am assuming this is for fitted sleeves?
This isn't about sleeves at all. This is about how a garment fits at the shoulders. If you have shoulder fit issues it will affect everything, including the seams.
@@Mellysews I meant would you need to do the sleeve adjustment for the forward shoulder adjustment if it is a puffy gathered sleeve? I just made these adjustments and going to use the Anna Allen Anthea sleeve. Thanks
