Why armholes fail in production Armhole is too deep , so bra shows and side chest is exposed Armhole curve is too straight , so it cuts into the front arm Armhole binding is too tight , so it pulls and wrinkles Armhole is too loose , so it floats and looks cheap The pattern checks I do before I approve a sample I check front armhole against bust point level I check side seam angle so it does not swing to the front I check strap width for the target market (bra-friendly if needed) I check arm mobility with a simple raise-and-reach test Edge finish options and when I use them Small construction choices that change comfort a lot I add a hidden snap for deep V-neck or wrap front I add stay tape at neckline if fabric is soft I use understitching to stop facing roll-out I control topstitch width so it looks consistent in photos What fabrics work best for a sleeveless A-line dress, and what fabric mistakes cause returns
