my final sloper - tested and it fits :)

as promised.  i am going to share some of the photos that i have taken myself.  i tried to take some photos with the sloper on, but it was hard to get a clear view of the shoulder and the sleeve.  so, i improvised some props.  i used a mini bolster for the close-up photos.  and here they are:-

one of the shoulders.
and the neckline.

frontal side view of one of the sleeves.

front view.
 and there's the mini bolster.

another angle showing the shoulder seam.
and the neckline.
i think i nailed this :))

yet another view if the shoulder seam.
and the neckline.

the sloper on a hanger.
it hangs pretty well.
and the sleeves hang pretty well too.
i am so pleased.

one of the sleeves.
love the way it hangs :)

the other sleeve.

that's my arm holding the camera to take this photo.
yep...no strain across the arm.  no more pinching-my-arm-sleeves...yeay!!

that's my arm at rest.
the sleeve head looks pretty good.
and no shoulder pads used.

some of my references for forward thrust shoulder adjustment are,

and

and

and here too.

and that's the end of one chapter.  and there was another daunting issue of a perfect set-in sleeve.... how to stitch it onto the armhole of the bodice.  that's another pain that i had to go through for the past one month.  but i nailed that one too.

oh what a feeling :)
