Alterations from block pattern draft:
1. Armhole dropped by 1/2 inch
2. Front balance dropped by 1/2 inch at neck point
Good afternoon Rory and forum members. My wife Gosia is pleased with the initial fitting although I am seeing some issues. I hope that you can comment on what needs to change to optimize the fit.
After trying on the jacket this morning we noticed that the shoulders at the neck points are not sitting flush. I think the shoulder angles need to squared up. Any thoughts?
I also wonder if her right side is dropping.
Any tips to guide me in the right direction would be very helpful.
As always I want to state that I'm not an expert at fitting coats but here are some things I noticed. I would say that she is dropping right and I think that the wrinkles at the right armhole (in pic 2, the back view) are caused of that. I also wonder if something is off with the front/back balance. The coat looks like its angled up at the front or is this just an illusion of the picture? I also think that the wrinkles of the sleeve are caused of the front pitch being too far forward. It perhaps needs so be moved back something like 1/4" or 3/8". But I would wait for Rory or someone else that has more experience to comment before remarking.
