Jalie crossover.. (Moderated by Deepika, Sharon1952)
Posted on: 5/27/06 3:50 PM ET
Hi
I just completed Jalie crossover in a really cute stretchy.. There are lines around the armhole.. What I'm wondering is if a larger FBA would fix this..?
Any input much appreciated..

It sure looks desparate to form darts, so that would seem to be the answer.

Disclaimer: I have zero FBA experience and I don't know how to prevent those folds.
It looks like you can save this shirt very easily. Just mark where the folds are, and sew in darts. I don't think you need a larger FBA for this shirt.

I wouldn't worry about the folds on this shirt. Look at women walking down the street, in the malls ... they will ALL have a fold here and there on a tee shirt.
For the next one, yes, an FBA -- and if you don't want to sew the dart, rotate it out at the sideseam.
Slanden, raksha could sew a dart on this one but it will throw off the sideseams. Depending on how much length there is to spare, it may not work out too well.

Hi -- thanks everybody for your great advice. I actually decided to leave it. When I put it on (rather than on my dummy) the wrinkles seem to disappear. I wrote a review on the top see My Review on Jalie Top

I did just as Debbie suggested for mine (I had the same wrinkles when it was on) and rotated the dart out to the side seams where I just eased it in. I'm thrilled with the fit of this tee shirt now. I just made one on Thursday (that I just have to hem) in a sleeveless version.
