When I find a fabulous RTW top that needs to be enlarged, I check
for covered shoulder pads. I take those out, unsew 'em, and make them
into underarm gussets. This can add several inches.
Gaping fronts: ick. Velcro, extra buttons. Fold-over placket with
hidden buttons. Or wear over a camisole or tank, the sides flapping
freely in the breeze...oh wait, you said you're enjoying winter. In a
few months!
