#55 How to Solve for an Across Back Fitting Issue

Feeling tightness across the back and restricted when you move your arms is very uncomfortable. Here's one way to feel some relief.

You'll know if you need to increase the across back of the pattern when the garment appears to fit when your standing still but the moment you move your arms forward, the mid-back area of your garment feels really tight. If you have sleeves attached, you'll also feel strain across the front of the arms.

If you need to decrease the across back of the pattern, you’re going to see some vertical drag lines that indicate excess width near the back armhole and back bust area.

Watch the video now for the step by step tutorial on making this adjustment to your pattern.

Enjoy!
