Date: 2/7/13 1:02 PM You might want to check Nancy Erickson's jacket pattern (Fashion Sewing Group). She has a basic jacket #1945, then a couple of others that have variations to the collar, etc. She loves Chanel, so models her jacket pattern after that high armscye. Fashion Sewing Group

I'm always on the look-out for high patterns with high armscye. Is your issue arm movement restrictions?

Also make sure that you are using a set in sleeve and not one that that has a slightly drop shoulder. Also, use a jacket with a two piece sleeve which will be easier to tailor. As far as raising the underarm, you should be able to do that without a problem. The sleeve cap should be no more than 1 1/2" longer than the circumference of the armscye, less is the fabric is difficult to ease. The sleeve cap has to be the right height as well, though I don't remember the dimension of the cap height. You should be able to look that up. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

It should say they are 'Normal.' If that is the case, the underarm will typically be high with Burda. However, Nancy Erickson of 'Fashion Sewing Group' also makes a point of drafting a high armhole, explaining that the amount of daylight you see in the body's silhouette at critical points like the armscye or crotch helps to give the illusion of a sharper, more long-lined figure.
