Changing sleeve shapes to fit into exactly the same bodice armscye. These were free-handed quickly, not very large. Please assume that the red lines over the tops are all equal in length and markings, and are exactly the length of the armscye + ease. 1. A symmetrical sleeve. These are fast to draft and easier to put into the armscye, but do not hang well or look as good as one with more design. 2. Good design. The front has been scooped slightly and the back filled in a little (around 1/4" each) to better reflect the position and movement of the arm. The shoulder seam mark shows that there is more fabric across the back. Yes, more of the easing must happen here. Wiggle your shoulder a little and you'll see that's where you're going to need it. 3. A German pattern from several decades ago. A more extreme version. 4. Pattern modified for a fuller upper arm. Note that as you flatten the sleeve cap, the biceps line widens, and the length of the sleeve shortens. Your underarm seam must remain the same length. If you add (shaded) so the cap-to-hem measurement is the same as before, the sleeve will be too long. See "Sleeve Rework" drawing about twelve graphics down for how to draft from the armscye. In the set, it's the next graphic.
