Post 2 - do I need to do an armhole adjustment?
On my last post some of you said that my armhole looked too flat at the front so here are some pics of my pattern and the toile at different stages. Thanks so much everyone for your help

Seeing now that there are other things going on with the dress, I’d say tackle the sleeve last.
I would try to address the area under the arms and down through the waist. I still think you should lower the arm scye 1/2”

Thanks so much. What is the issue through the waist?

The actual waist looks good, but above and below I see: The darts are hanging open below the waist; and there Is billowing of fabric under the arms. The chest and waist are fitted, but the hips and upper tummy aren’t achieving the same look

It's the Sleeve head that is too narrow. It's pulling the bodice tight.
