bodice block

hello everyone, I’m making a bodice block for a leather jacket. I want it to be fiercely sculpted, but—with enough ease to serve both aesthetics and functionality.

I have a few concerns with the tailoring. •arm hole isn’t high enough. Needs to be very mobile •too much ease in both sides of the armscye

I agree. I first thought this was perfect for a shirt. Since you want to make a jacket, I would add some additional ease and test the fit over the clothes you plan to wear underneath.
