I've been working on a muslin for a Tee shirt. Burda 8290. I know many
people don't think it's worth the time to make Tees. I have such a hard
time buying anything in RTW that fits, it worth it to me to have one
that fits me the way i want. In order to get a good fit I've done
several things: I increased the front length at the bust 2 1/2inches,
Increased the back length 2 1/2 inches. I divided the back increase 1
inch to correspond with the line of the bust increase and 1 1/2" across
the center back. I also added darts at the neckline. I think that I will
probably divided the darts next time to the shoulder and back. I also
added 1/2 " to the back shoulder seam length and subtracted that from
the length of the front shoulder seam.

Finally my question. Do I move the dot on the shoulder of the sleeve
back 1/2 inch and match it to my shoulder seam or should I leave it
alone and match the original dot to my shoulder seam?

I've been wearing the muslin around the house for a few hours to be sure
my changes are comfortable to wear. So far the neck isn't creeping up
to choke me and the back and front centers are equal length.
