Hi all,
I would post this question to my trade group, but don't have access to the mail list right now. I hope someone out there can help. I am making a shrug for a client out of silk charmeuse, with silk chiffon sleeves. I've done a muslin for fitting, and the sleeve was too tight under the arm. I already had to adjust the back of the sleeve seam, as it was too tight for her to raise her arms. (She is the mother of the groom, and will be hugging a lot.) Here's my question--if lower the seam in the underarm area, how do I adjust the sleeve? It seems that if I drop the seam on the sleeve to correspond, I'm back to her not being able to raise her arms.
Thank you in advance for you suggestions!
