I actually modified it very simply - I added an inch to the pattern on the side that's supposed to be against the fold (so, I effectively added 2 inches in the center of the shirt). Worked like a charm. Laura - thanks! I kind of like the way that picture turned out, myself! Oh, Michele, you would really like Flickr, I think! I was a bit overwhelmed at first, myself - I didn't really see the point of it, to be honest. I uploaded a few photos anyway and let them sit there a while until I figured out what I was supposed to do with them. Now that I know how it works, my advice would be to upload a couple of pictures, and then search for groups in your areas of interest. If you like to photograph flowers, look for a flower group. Add your flower photos to the group, and other flower enthusiasts will notice them and start commenting on them. You end up getting to know other people with your same interests by seeing their comments on your photos and by looking at their photos. It's really quite interesting, and you can have as high or as low a level of involvement as you want. You could just use it as a place to "park" your photos and show them only to your friends.

I am sure I would love it, but even being somewhat of a computer geek myself (engineer, photographer, etc) I am intimdated by the whole thing. I took the tour but still didn't quite understand how to 'use' it. sigh.... I'll try again because I know I should be able to figure it out. LOL I wish I could figure out Flickr!

It has a gathered neckline, not a yoke, as I'd thought. My bad, then, because I gave you fitting advice based on the idea that it had a yoke. My eyes aren't always so good with photographs. However, you still would have had problems with it using measurements from the pattern envelope. AAAAAND, you didn't waste good fabric making the tester. Always good. Hey, maybe some solic skirts to go with patterned tops, too? Aha! It has a gathered neckline, not a yoke, as I’d thought.
