Cut out and ready to go... did a small FBA and raised the armholes.. why on the larger sizes are the armholes nearly down to your waist!

Its the same with legs of garments even knickers! There's an assumption that if you are large in some areas you also have huge arms and legs as well which is not always the case I always have to adjust for this myself - I've also got a flat bottom which is another reason that I make my own garments because rtw are seriously baggy in the rear!
