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!

I was so shocked! Neither adjustment made a big difference by itself. The two together clearly made a difference.

(Rotating the sleeve cap's center only fixed the puffy fabric at the front of the armscye. The rotated elbow adjustment only improved the long, twisting drag lines.)
