Here are the alterations for the KS top. I had to take out about a 1/2" from the CF. They show a CF marking at the top of the top at the neckline. Then I sort of faked it down the rest of the top. I made it a 1/2" overlap at the top and made the overlap smaller as I went down. I tend to be hippier than bustier so I don't want it to be too tight at the bum. I also did a petite tuck of about a 1/4" above the bust.
Now we'll have to see if I can find the right knit to make it into a dress. I think it could be smashing in a print but it might be too much of a good thing.
Thanks for the info on your alterations! I have recently discovered that I need the "petite tuck" on every pattern just in that spot - not on the traditional shorten/lengthen line as my "petiteness" is from shoulder to bust, not underarm to waist. It's made such a huge difference in how my garments fit!
