Narrow Shoulders Corrections – Move the Armhole
This is a personal go-to method because it keeps our shoulder slope the same.
1. Slash open the armhole at the LPS, tape and pin the amount you want to increase the across shoulder area at the armhole.
2. Measure the amount you’ve taped and note it down.
3. Mark that amount outwards from the armhole at the LPS to get your new shoulder width.
4. After you do that, you’ll notice the armhole is slightly smaller. You may need to slash out a very small amount from the sleeve to get it to fit the new armhole. (Alternatively, you could keep the sleeve as it is and lower the armhole to reduce that instead.)
That’s it! Pretty easy correction!
