Has anybody shortened a princess line bodice between shoulder and armhole? What is the best way to tackle it? Should I pin it together first or do the pieces individually?

Cheers from Australia

I pin mine out just above the top of the princess seam and it brings the bust point and waist up to the right place then. I'm 5'2". I should add that the armscye would have to stay the same size. If you trace the armscye before you shorten, then you can transfer it to the shortened pieces.
