Finally got the sleeve drape right on a wool coat after 4 mockups

The armhole kept pulling across the back, and it took me three weeks to figure out I needed to add a 1/4 inch wedge to the side seam. Anyone else wrestle with heavy fabric tailoring like this?

Three weeks for a quarter inch, that's some serious dedication.

Honestly that sounds like overkill for a quarter inch. I'd just steam and stretch the fabric into place.

@karenc20 Have you ever had that method cause the fabric to shrink back later?
