The Alien Conspiracy Theory of Sewing

So, I drove home from work tonight all determined to get some stuff done. I managed to get 3 more loads of junk from the patio into the dumpster while left over pizza warmed up.

Then I moved on to the mock-up smock. I'd pinned 2 of the side gores on over the weekend and started to pin the gores on the other side. But for some reason, they came all the way past the armpit. I looked at the other side. No....those were several inches lower than that. I checked to see that the gores were all the same size. Yeah....all the same size. Then I folded the main body piece in half where I'd marked the shoulder line only to find that the bottom ends were about 14 inches different from each other. WTF?

I am convinced that aliens snuck in during the night and changed the placement of the shoulder line. No other explanations possibly make any sense.
