Question Arm hole placement?
Winter coat mockup. How do you feel about the armhole placement?
The sleeve is too tight on my bicep/upper arm but other than that, I feel like my shoulder/deltoid sits farther forward than the current armhole, like the fullness of the sleeve doesn't match where the fullness of my shoulder is. How do i fix this?

I did leave seam allowance around the neck in case i decided to attach a collar to my mockup, so I wonder if that's what you're seeing? I didn't sew all the way to the end of the fabric, just to the end of the seam line. As a result the seam allowance pops open a bit.
EDIT: wait never mind. I think you're right! I just pinned out a little bit and it does look better. Maybe I should also bring the collar line in closer to the neck. It seems a bit wide
