For the best fit on the Iris Bralette, you will want the vertical seam to fall in line with the apex. What is the apex?The apex is the fullest part of the bust, usually where the nipple lies. In the photo above, you can see that the vertical seam aligns with the fullest part of the bust, and also aligns with the vertical seam on the dress form. How to Alter the Pattern
Happy Sewing!

I need to move the apex by an inch and a half... Do I also need to alter the sling piece? How?

No need the alter the sling since it does not extend as far as the apex.

Even though I had to move the bottom point of the outer cup piece inwards a fair bit so that changes the shape of the outside edge of the cup?

Ah ok, I wasn't thinking right. If the outside shape of the cup has changed you will need to re-draft the sling. I can't post a picture here in the comments, but if you will send me a comment through the contact form I can reply with a picture to show you how to align the cup pieces and draw the sling.
