All along I kept these goals in mind for my flip:
For both rashguards
I made them smaller than the sizing chart said
because I wanted them to not be weighed down by extra fabric. To
determine the right size for a very slim fit, I measured their chest and then
divided it by 4, then added 1/2″ (seam allowance).
Equation looks like this:
(Chest measurement/4) + 1/2″ = width needed across the pattern piece.
Equation looks like this:
Shoulder to elbow measurement + 1/2″ (shoulder/sleeve inseam) + 1/2″ for hem= length from top of sleeve arch to elbow.
I love alliterations! The fact that original name of Beachy Boatneck is an alliteration made me decide that each rashguard needed a unique alliteration.
