Thank you for sharing my finished Aster! I enjoyed the sew-a-long and love seeing what everyone else made! I’m looking forward to making another version now! Thanks for the inspiration!

Was adjusting the shoulder width covered? I haven’t made mine yet but now I see that some shoulders seem narrow and bra straps show. Was this alteration addressed on the sewalong? Making the shoulder a little wider.

Yes, I made a muslin- so cute, with a plaid, including bias cut yoke, but the neck was so huge I had to scrap it before finishing. I recut my new one at the smallest size in the shoulders (but the bust/hips/waist needed to be larger than the smallest size) but have not finished it yet. It would be good to know how to do a narrow shoulder adjustment on thsi pattern. Thanks much- the pattern is so cute and a very flattering line.

These are so lovely! I wish I had gotten a photo of mine in. but when I realized I had borked up the pattern (first time sewing with one, really), I go bummed out and stopped just short of submitting it on time. :( Love these so much! Lots of inspiration to try again now. :D
