So nice to meet you! And that’s awesome you’re from Vancouver too!!! :D We should organize a meetup – I don’t know hardly anyone from here, oddly lol.

To be honest, I kind of winged it with the Peony, and didn’t end up adjusting the armscye until I adjusted the front bodice. I opened up the shoulder seam and smoothed the fabric outwards to the shoulders, then adjusted based on that. Kind of an unscientific method to say the least lol.

I’m still not sure I’ve managed to figure out adjustments for Colette patterns on me – even with the Peony, I’m still not satisfied with the fit. I’m thinking of doing a bodice block and comparing from there :)

I started working through adjusting the back peony bodice yesterday, and I’m wondering – how did you change up the armscye after taking out width from the neck?
Maybe I’m missing something? after narrowing the back neck width, keeping the same height, and shoulder seam width, i find that the top of the armscye is wayyy moved in, and i think i have to re-draw?

If you are having this problem I did google this problem and found a very helpful post from Symon Sez referring to Madalynne’s post explaining the relationship between the back and front neckline [...]
