My Lyric adventure

 I realized when I went to look up what I did, that I only posted on FB and didn't write it up elsewhere. That's a great way to lose track of valuable information. The following was accomplished in early June. The pattern is the Love Notions Lyric.

The red picture is a bathroom mirror picture and the others are after wearing all day with no a/c while working from home. I moved the vertical darts, added even more to the sleeves and a flamenco sleeve addition. I did a small rounded back modification.

I added a bunch to the sleeves. I first added an inch the standard slash and spread method, and then I added a half inch more at the sides and deepened the armscye curve to accommodate that and then I followed advice from a comment from when I posted my muslin and did a little bit of a flamenco modification: https://www.flamencodressmaking.com/.../how-to-sew.../ 

The pockets are strangely small. I also need to move the waist up -  it is exactly as designed but would be more flattering higher.

Here are my muslin pictures after about half of the modifications:
