I'm making an off the rack dress (my first) and would like to leave some extra seam allowance for length and other alterations. Where is the most critical area? I'm thinking that the bodice to skirt seam would be one area. Also, I'm using the Irish Treads pattern.

-With the Irish Threads pattern, the bodice seems to run short anyway, so definitely add a couple inches there. Sleeves are another area, make a cuff that can be moved up or down if needed.
