Hi – I have just purchased this pattern and was testing it out. I am making view A and need to lengthen the bodice, but there are no “lengthen or shorten here” lines. With the darts, I’m afraid to cut in to the pattern and am equally unsure if I can just add the length to the bottom. I am making size D/E and need to add 2 inches. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you!
