Itch to Stitch Amador Top

I love pattern testing for Kennis Wong of Itch to Stitch. I recently tested the Amador Top and I really love the design, but not sure it's right for me - without a few more tweaks to the fit for my shape.

I was drawn to the Amador Top for the neckline, bustline gathers, and the dolman sleeves. The pattern goes together perfectly and is a quick sew.

I find that based on my height of 5', I really need to take some length out of the upper bust area of the top to allow the bottom bustline gathers to sit closer to the band of my bra. Sewing the pattern without this adjustment places them too low and gives me some droopy boobies.

I did make a swayback adjustment and I think I could have taken a smidge more of an adjustment. 

Overall - it's a cute top and I was given  the advice to take up the shoulders a quarter inch to see if it fixes the droppy boobs.   

I  will probably try the fix closer to the fall as I won't probably wear this until then.  

I'll update again if the fix works and if it does, I will definitely make another.
