I finally found a vintage 40's pattern that worked for me - after much fitting mind you. And that's my #1 go-to pattern for blouses now. <br /><br />I love the *hulk out* photo! <br /><br />One rule of thumb when doing armholes - the higher the underarm of your blouse the more movement you'll have in your sleeve, given you have enough ease in your sleeve. (Of course one could go too high and then have no movement - but that's hard to do.)<br /><br />I've had to raise up the armpits on most (if not all garments I make) due to my short-waistedness & small upper half. I generally raise my armpits between 1/2" and 1 fatty inch.zilredlohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626730299584724606noreply@blogger.com
