I have a pattern for a smock top which involves zigzag stitching taut elastic onto fabric so that it then smocks when released.
I want the top to fit properly, so not loose (as a snug fit is surely the point of a smocked top!)...
But my 3yo is slim for her age and the length of elastic in the pattern is 4 inches longer than her chest measurement.
So, do I keep with the pattern measurements or reduce? And if I reduce, do I make the elastic the same as her chest measurement (or smaller?)
