Well, if I had made an official bet, I would have won! The waist is too long. However! the general pattern shape is super close.
I pin the fabrics together, keeping the pins lined up on the mark lines. The sewing should overlap the two chalk lines as I preceed.
Now to try it on.
I immediately resized the plastron. And then I one by one pinched seams while wearing the bodice, and made marks. It’s way more time consuming than just having a helper, but I got the bodice closer to the fit I want.
Pin it on, pinch and mark, make a small adjustement. Pin it on, and repeat.
It’s a glamorous job. But once I have a pattern it’s much easier to alter it to fit for future dresses.
Night pictures are hard in my apartment. I will try for another tomorrow, when I fix the arm holes and shorten the waist. And hopefully, cut out the bodice!
