I am going to play with the armhole some tonight and see what happens.<br /><br />I think you are correct about the dart length too. I sense another (better!) muslin IV in my near future. :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513379876617697615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411781376891158701.post-86427059072797641542011-01-25T15:52:17.350-06:002011-01-25T15:52:17.350-06:00This journey has been really helpful to watch, so ...This journey has been really helpful to watch, so thank you! If it were me, I think I'd shorten both darts (the bust dart on the side and the waist dart). They aren't leaving room for anything other than a little pooch right there at the apex when the waist dart is shortened. It's smoother when the waist dart is longer because it's essentially creating a little rounded "box". I could be totally and completely wrong though. I often am. :)<br /><br />For the armhole, yup I agree. When you shortened and removed sleeve depth you made it too small. Just remove at the bottom and it should be fine. The back looks great now!<br /><br />Oh...and I think the shoulder pooch is just a combination of the sleeve type and the too-tight armhole. D on't worry about that until you fix the armhole (just cut that out of this muslin and check. No sewing required. ;)angie.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575366388194033626noreply@blogger.com
