McCall's 6078 view C take 2: changing cowl depth

Lots of interesting responses regarding changing cowl depth from my last post.

Thanks to all who left ideas.  I went with debbie's advice....here's the photographic evidence:
Here's the pattern piece for the front of view C:


Fold along the fold line:

I drew a mark at 2 5/8" (5/8" for SA; 2 inches for reduction in cowl length).

Draw a line diagonally across:

I folded on the newly drawn line:

Opened and drew on the fold:

I cut that bit out:

Ha ha ha, so now the shoulder seam is longer on the front than the back. Sadly, i had already cut out the back, and no more of this fabric remained.

It was a 'make it work' moment:
View B has pleats; so I took up the extra length on the front SA by pleating it out:

Now the cowl isn't plunging:

But it's not long enough to put the loops on. Maybe next time I will try with 1" instead of 2" and see if that leaves enough for the loops but isn't too plungetastic.
I do like that my bra straps are covered.  and bending over doesn't put on a show.
And it was less than 2 hours cut to finish.  When was the last time I sewed a garment in under 2 hours?  Hrm.
I think it's cuter with the shrug:

Happy Spring!!
 
Be well!!
