Adjustments

Side seam adjustment (waist and hips)

All adjustments must be made only below point S1.

Point S1 marks the beginning of the gusset attachment area.
The area above this point (gusset zone) must not be modified.

If additional width is needed at the waist or hips, calculate the required total amount and divide it evenly between the front and back pieces.

Mark the adjustment at the waist level on both the front and back.

From this point:
– draw a smooth line up to point S1
– and continue the line down toward the hip line

Use a curved ruler to blend the new seam smoothly into the original pattern.

Apply the same method to both the front and the back.

This ensures that the garment width is adjusted without affecting the construction of the gusset area.

Sleeve length adjustment

Sleeve length adjustment

The sleeve length is designed for a height of approximately 170 cm.

If your height is 176–180 cm, it is recommended to lengthen the sleeve by about 1–2 cm.
If your height is below 170 cm, you may shorten the sleeve by 1–2 cm.

To adjust the sleeve length, use the marked adjustment line on the pattern.

Cut along this line and either:
– add 1–2 cm by inserting paper
– or reduce the length by overlapping the pattern

After adjusting the length, redraw the side seam lines.

Draw a straight line from the hem up to point S2 on both sides of the sleeve.

This ensures a clean and continuous sleeve seam after the adjustment.
