So happy to hear this worked for you. Remember to walk the sleeve cap into the armhole to see if you need to shorten the front cap length to agree with the ease you rotated out of the armhole! Thanks for fitting along with me

can we fix it without having any darts ?

If you have gaping in the front armhole and you do not have a bust dart, it's likely that the gap is being caused because you need more room or shaping in the bust. Are you making a knit or non stretch top?

If I already have a 1 inch bust dart and the front armhole gaping is 1/2"' and transfered it to bust dart wouldnt that make the dart too big? Are there limits to big darts?
@JSternDesigns

It is true that larger darts can be a little hard to get to sit properly... You can rotate the gap in the front armhole to the hem and then take it off the side seam... ...Also, if the gap is down lower near the base of the front armhole... that ease may be taken up by the sleeve when it's inserted in the armhole. :) Hope this helps, thanks for fitting along with me

@@JSternDesigns I will try that. Thank you. You are one of the few teachers online that explains things so well. And you demo's are the best.

Do you need to adjust the sleeve if you rotate the excess to a bust dart?
@JSternDesigns

Yes, you're shortening the length of the front armhole, so walk the sleeve to see if you need to add ease back in. Sorry about that!... and thanks for watching)

Why is your waist dart going all the way up to the apex? Thanks. Su.

:) I didn't measure my half scale dressform to get the exact position of the tip of the dart for this tutorial... I did mentioned in the video that you want to be approximately 1/2" away for Cup Sizes A-C and 5/8" + away for D and D+ Cup Sizes. Thanks for fitting along with me

I very much like your approach, based on practice. In a way, fitting is carrying out detective work, proceeding by elimination, like Sherlock Holmes. If the armscye is reduced by eliminating the excess of ease and if the length of the sleeve cap must remain unchanged maybe lowering the armscye would provide for the extra length.

OMG, I totally forgot to mention the sleeve cap adjustment!! Thank you for bringing this up. ... Pinching out the gap, picks up the base of the armhole, changing the shape of it and shortening it the amount of the pinch. Fitting the sleeve into the armhole involves making sure the cap fits into the armhole & the armhole/sleeve fits your shape. Where I pinched out the gap is lowering the front side of the cap... If I needed to put it back (vs. taking it out of the cap to make a like change)... I think I would slash the cap above the front/back notches and create a pivot at the back side and spread the front side the amount I needed to maintain the measurement. In the Efficient Work Flow for Bodice Fitting Process... We fit the entire bodice first... then adjust the sleeve to fit the armhole. If the armhole is well shaped and fitted properly, it makes easier work of adjusting the sleeve to fit as well! Hope this helps, thanks for fitting along with me

In the same situation, why wouldn't you just make an armhole dart pointing to the bust apex?

If you like the look of an armhole dart, you can do that... I should have mentioned that in this tutorial! Thanks for asking.. and for watching :)

I have had this problem with many patterns. I always thought I had to do an FBA but then I’m a B cup and everything fit nicely. So I just stopped altogether because I wasn’t sure where to place the extra fullness. Now I can see how to make the bust dart at the side seam. I remember doing this in your class and it’s a refresher. Thank you! By the way, I love the new top! I remember the video.

Good information to learn. What about the armhole opening fitting the sleeve after you pinched out the gap and added the bust dart below the arm scythe? Didn't you make the armhole opening smaller? Thank you!

Is there a way to remove the extra fabric at the armhole, bit still keep the length/shape of the armhole as it is? Because with this technique i feel like the armhole is to tight in the end :/
