I found this top in a charity shop, and liked the colours, but the shape was terrible. One for the reasons I don't have a lot of rtw non stretchy tops, is the general approach to make them massive and completely shapeless.It is a stylised camouflage print with a nicer set of colours. But it makes me look like a sack of potatoes.
I look extremely glum in this before picture.. As you can see top is super unflattering.
So I put some long darts in at the front and back, and took in the side seams, added a (really badly sewn in!) zip and made it fit me. Much better!
That's a great way to give baggy tops some shape! I usually wear knit tops for that reason but should look into this alteration for wovens.
