One thing that isn't getting much love right now is an Issey Miyake top (V 2127) that does not fit in it's neck yoke piece. I have done this before, where the seam gets manipulated and the piece stretches out so far and so badly there's no point to continuing. Thus is the case with # number; it's been sitting around waiting for finishing because there no point in finishing it.
And then I figured let's just take it apart and see. It's not stretched out; thank god I staystitched it before I attached the collar strip. It doesn't fit me that well, that one piece yoke is a mistake I fell for, but it's salvageable.
It poofs out at the top of the placket and the horizontal pieces don't help. Plus that collar piece. Ew.
I have taken the placket apart at the top, shaved off a sloping 1/4" to nothing at the second snap on each side, will eliminate a little poof. Clipped off the overlap on the underside and am sewing it into the placket. Took off the collar and replacing it with a bias strip collar. It is still not a great thing - the drafting is kind of crummy - but it's a wearable thing that looks cool enough for people to not point out some very obvious design flaws.
I won't run into you, and you wouldn't say anything. Would you?
