Question:
I am having a problem with under arm"baggies",in the front only.

Do you have any suggestions on this problem?
Answer:
There could be a few different reasons it looks baggy only on the front.

Tip #1: If it looks like it needs a dart, you can pinch the dart and mark it (sketch 1a), then smash out the dart flat, then add the length back into the side seam at the waist so it matches the back side seam (Sketch 2a).

TIP # 2: If it looks like there are 'drag lines' because the front armhole is too tight, you might try scooping the armhole seam out 1/4" to 1/2" blending the line into the armhole above the notch (Sketch B).


Congratulations! You have just learned more new techniques!
