Thanks Teri - I was referring to the DARTS in the midriff, not pleats
(told you it has been awhile since I've sewed clothing!). The gathers in
the bust are fine and the bodice is fitting perfectly for the most part -
just having trouble with the fit in the back. I will alter through the
sides of the back piece instead of fooling around with the darts as you
recommend. As for the sizing - we are following Vogues measurements, not
ready wear sizing.
