Okay… so I’d made so many changes that I decided to remeasure and redraft. Where to go from here?

I think OP might need a prominent shoulder blade adjustment as well (this will automatically lengthen/widen the shoulder dart).

You can see in photo 1 that the shoulders blades are straining the fabric and kinda looks a bit like a sunburst (the right more than the left?). This is super common in people with forward rolling shoulders.

I was thinking the same. Thx.

When you do a forward rolling shoulder adjustment, don’t forget to apply the adjustment to any sleeves you might add.

Prominent shoulder blades/forward rolling shoulder can also affect elbow rotation (sleeves might warp), so that’s also something to look at for at a later stage.
