 I saw the t shirt re-modeling videos but I want to taper a blouse without darts. It is boxy and although that may be the style for some I prefer a tapered fit. Its a pullover style and no stretch or give.

Re: tapering a boxy blouse

Dear missrefano,

 
When a blouse has no stretch in the material and no opening on the front, the side seam or center back, we can not make it too fitted. Doing this will make it difficult to wear.
 
If your blouse does not have any opening, you may apply a zipper to the left side seam. The bottom zipper stop should be at the top of the opening. This way you can wear the blouse easily.
 
Happy sewing,
 
Nehzat

boxy shirt

 Great idea - a side zipper would allow me to taper the blouse, perhaps insert darts. Thanks
