Still Fighting
I re-traced the top I'm working on. I'm struggling with the sway back adjustment. The great news is I have a sewing angel who is providing great tips as I muddle my way through this. She prodded me to me to check my measurements because perhaps I needed more length in the CF. I've taken enough measurements to adjust the top. I decided that I may as well keep going, so I'll knock out my hips and crotch curve next. Pray for me.

Angels are instrumental, thank God I have some. I'll pray for you, and I know you can do it all.!

Where are you?????????????????
@Faye, thanks for checking in on me. I am frustrated. I wanted to make Kwik Sew 3704 for Easter and I got stumped by the sway back alteration. I was also a little confused about an FBA on a one piece dress, but the sway back thing is relly what halted everything. I traced a couple of pants patterns, but I didn't think I was up to making the correct crotch adjustments.
I've been slowly working on Butterick 5454. I'm pin-fitting the muslin now, hoping for better results. I'm looking for fit and alterations classes in Chicago, because I can't seem to figure out how to adjust for my extreme pear shape on my own.
