I've finally finished the top I started a few weeks ago ( Simplicity 3990). It took some dong as it has been a really long time - like 15 or more years - since I had to fit anything. And this fabric was terrible - it frayed the second it was cut. I like the teal and black lace look though.
The changes I made were to knock off about 1 inch on each shoulder, add to the hip, adjust for a narrow back. I'd make this again, but probably a size smaller - I used the size according to my measurements, but this fits larger and a size smaller might be better. I had some difficulty in getting the waist to nip in after adding for the hip.
I'd make it again, in better fabric. So I'm going to treat this as my "muslin" and make other adjustments the next time around.
