Hello,
I've just made another midriff panel blouse, which turned out nicely. However, I would like to finetune the fit. On the sleeves, there's a slight fold, going from the shoulderpoint, towards the front of the sleeve. I think it has something to do with the fact that I have forward shoulders. Is there some easy way to get rid of it--perhaps, not this time, but in a future effort. I was thinking that the notch at the top of the sleeve should have been moved forward a little. Does that sound right? Thanks in advance, Susan |

The keys to shoulder point placement is the shoulder ridge placment which is controlled by the full front and back and slopes front and back.
Take a hard look in the mirror- is the shoulder ridge perfectly placed and runs in a nice straight line. The shoulder point should meet the perfect placement for your cap apex. The full may be corect or also need adjusting- I would startwith just the slopes first- but shortening the front slope just a tiny bit and lengthening the back slope shifts the shoulder point. A 1/4 to 3/8th inch may be just enough or a bit much-start witha 1/4 inch. Make a trial of just the armhole and sleeve cap..in muslin try it on! and Have Fun enjoying the process.
