Sleeve and bodice fitting for forward shoulders
Article Abstract:
Making a muslin shell will pinpoint and correct problems that cause diagonal folds on sleeves. These sleeve wrinkles may be caused by a front armhole edge that is too long or a misplaced shoulder seam. A slight adjustment in the tightness or looseness in the sleeve cap may also correct the problem.

Changing patterns at sleeve and shoulder
Article Abstract:
The shoulderline of a dropped-shoulder style can be changed for those who can easily fit into garments with set-in sleeves at the natural shoulderline. Those with wide or square shoulders, a broad back or large biceps are not advised to convert such a style since it may not fit them well.

Fitting a bodybuilder
Article Abstract:
Bodybuilders usually find their above-the-waist figure more developed than the rest of their bodies. To get a good upper body fit, an entire basic bodice must be fit first, with careful attention to width measurements.
