3 Pattern Adjustments to Fix a Top that Pulls Down in the Back

Join me for this info packed Fit Tip Tuesday. Today I'm going to show you 3 pattern adjustments to fix a top that pulls down in the back. I'll be addressing an adjustment for a high round back, a back neckline that is not long enough to fit the back of the neck and a sloped shoulder seam that needs adjusting. In all three situations, the back of the top is too short or not long enough to meet the front shoulder seam without pulling. Plus, if you have a forward rotated shoulder, this can cause your top to pull to the back too. Check out this tutorial showing how to fix that.

I like dividing the High Round Back Adjustment into multiples. It keeps the CB more straight. I will do this with my 1” HRB adjustment

Excellent teacher

[@sewinginthesouth]

Your explanations are excellent! I like your very logical and clear explanations. I also like that each one is clearly demonstrated with your half scale pattern pieces. Thank you!

Awesome. So useful

[@jaspurbeck]

You are so creative! I would have never thought to create "tubes" for the gussets and sew them in place. So much easier than the method I have been trying. The heart shape on the back was fantastically creative. I"m going to go look in my closet for something I can upsize the same way. Thank you!!

[@littlesockd880]

Not sure yet if this will help with my fitting problem but you did such a great job explaining the why and how's for a beginner sewist! Really love it, thank you☺️

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

You really are amazing!! You’ve made all this so understandable! Thank you!!

This video is splendid! I have a few RTW tops that do this... and now I know why they do this. Might take them apart for fun and try these adjustments. 😊

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I CANT WAIT TO TRY THIS ADJUSTMENT. I AM TRYING TO ADJUST THE TRUE BIAS RIO T SHIRT PATTERN AND HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING A COMFORTABLE FIT THROUGH THE NECK AND BACK. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I AM SMALL BUSTED BUT HAVE VERY BROAD SHOULDERS.

Thank you for this video. My fitting problem is I have smaller upper chest, plus a problem with pulling across the upper back, especially with woven fabric tops. You are awesome.
