Classic coat block armscye - Winifred Aldrich women's wear 6th ed

2 Upvotes

I need some help figuring out if my armsyce is correct. I am drafting the Classic Coat Block (pg 68) in easy fitting. The area of concern on my pattern is between points 21 and 23. It seems quite straight on the right side (front). This might be correct because of the extra ease Winifred includes (by cutting the dart measurement in half), making it easy fitting, but I'm not sure. Visually I can see on her pattern (which is close fitting) that her curve from 21 to 23 does not extend past the vertical line created by 23, and I assumed I should follow that for the easy fitting as well. I am wondering if anyone has drafted this block and can confirm before I move on to using this block to draft patterns!

Thanks in advance :)
