Undersleeve wrinkling

Hi there,

Is the pictured wrinkling on the undersleeve a fact of life, or can it be adjusted? I wondered if it would work to pick up the undersleeve a bit or something.

I don't *think* it's a pitch problem, as the pitch looks ok otherwise.

Sorry it's a selfie!

I've taken in the seam on the double i.e. basted it further back from the edge. Is this 'cheating' i.e. will this have unintended, bad consequences? At first glance it looks kinda better...

(Left sleeve, foreground is mirrored while back is mirrored twice!)

It definitely looks way better. With seam, you mean the sleeve seam, don't you?

So, you've made the arm a bit narrower (by 3/4" -> 2x 3/8 seam allowance) which also makes the circumference smaller, which will then possibly fit better in your arm hole.

Did you redraft your sleeves too?
