One really must have a little ease in the sleeve to go over the deltoid, too, unless the shoulder seam goes way out and the wearer has twig arms. I am really admiring your jacket.

There are also anatomical situations requiring more ease than is commonly seen in RTW and I have discussed that with her. Her reaction was, "I was talking about most of the time". But that wouldn't make as compelling an argument, would it. The older I get the less likely I am to state anything in black and white. Too often there is a lot of reality lurking in the gray area between. Easing, along with steam & heat, is an oft-used technique in traditional tailoring and couture.a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-36914219713705556112014-03-10T04:12:23.538-04:002014-03-10T04:12:23.538-04:00Excellent explanation!

It is horrible. Most people are walking around unmatched. It is very unnerving. I think I'm suffering from too much sewing. I like your explanation. I mostly worry about the horizontal at the bottom of the sleeve cap and the vertical at center of the top of the cap.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314625196711269459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-73175278934011320682014-03-09T20:24:47.148-04:002014-03-09T20:24:47.148-04:00I don't know about the geometry, but it is a f...I don't know about the geometry, but it is a fact that matching stripes and plaids will make you a little nuts.
