I made the
Kitschy Coo Trifecta top recently - the one with shoulder insets - with a lovely cotton french terry from Girl Charlee. It was dead easy to make and looks great. Only problem is that although I made size 2 corresponding with my high bust and hips, it's
much too tight under the arms so sadly it's heading for the charity shop
. I'd like to try again and I could definitely go a size up overall but I'm certain that wouldn't solve the problem.
I've never had that happen with raglan sleeves before. I usually increase the armscye of woven garments and sometimes of knits for extra comfort, but that's with a standard sleeve. I've no idea what to do with a raglan sleeve pattern and the Trifecta bodice to make the armhole more relaxed.
Can you point me to any tutorials for this - or give me one yourself?
PS To be fair to Kitschy Coo, my fabric has a bit less than 40% stretch, the Trifecta is meant to be close fitting, and I hate tight armholes!
