I needed to add more width to this dress so I measured myself, compared what the pattern width provided me with and then I added the extra width to the side seams and centre back seam.

Then I chose a dark green on white with a huge print fabric to test this new size. I had big white buttons in my stash and I used calico for the centre back closure because I didn’t have enough fabric.

Did I change anything else?

The pockets, bust darts and back vent stayed the same for this toile. Below are my 2018 makes.

Would you have made the same changes? What else would you have changed to size up/down an existing pattern?
