Hi Benjamin, Thanks for the advice! Yes, armscye, on the bodice. On p91 of Rory's book and in the video it's the circumference from D to E. Not the top of the sleeve (sleeve cap? I'm struggling with a few of the terms) The curvy part at the top of the sleeve also looks off. The distance from 1 to 2 on the sleeve draft looked quite short and I think this was the cause. Unfortunately with all the excitement I've already cut out the pattern, so I think it's best to redraft and post a picture before I cut it out. That still leaves me with a choice of 4 armcye depth measurements. So far around 10" is looking like the best for me as the portly cut, Benjamin's German method, and the video all have that. I'll go ahead with redrafting 10" scye depth 0-1 and post a photo of the finished pattern

I vote yes! I'm very interested in any details on pattern making for different body types, sizes, corpulent, body builder, how the pattern changes to accommodate a bust for women's coats also. Thank you so much for the wonderful series Rory!
