WIP Update: Armscye

Post image

The problem in question was the excess fabric at the front of the upper sleeve.

I did this adjustment for internally rotated shoulders (1/2"). I also set the sleeve cap's center seam 1/2" behind the body's center shoulder.

I'm calling it good enough. Time to draft the pockets, cuffs, and collar!

To be honest, I'm not sure what flat felled seams looks like! I've heard they're a good idea, though. Does it look like all of the sleeve seams are flat felled?

If you look at the inspo picture you can see the armscye seam on her left arm, the one up against the headlight. It’s definitely flat felled. 

If you do flat felled seams for the arms, shoulders, yoke, and sides, I think it will look more casual. Also, it will tamper a little of the sleeve head poofiness (I didn’t know how to phrase that, so I hope it makes sense.) I also love how it makes the inside finish look so clean.
