simplicity 6440

    alterations:
    lowered the neckline by about an inch and a half (the necklines are always so much higher than the illustration)
    finished the neckline with bias cut fabric rather than facings
    cap sleeves instead of elbow length
    finished the hem with a panel of fabric to mimic all of the seaming on the dress
    a sloped shoulder adjustment taking out probably more than 2 inches at the shoulders (must be all that computer work...)
