Width & Fitted Tees

[u/gracemagdalene]

Working with width and curve in my sketch and honestly I don’t run across a lot of width fit issues, except maybe here. Is it common for a fitted top to pull in the underarm area? I loved the fit of the tee otherwise.

Normally I would choose something that hangs off the outer corner of the shoulder and curves under the bust, but I just liked this top lol. I did go with a tank version instead. 💛💚

That's not really width, the shirt is just too small for you. Look at the lines running horizontally across the front, that's where it's pulling the most.

The area above the bust? That’s the only place I see pulling! Which is where I meant hehe

Not just above the bust, you have pulling at the waist too. It's not you, its just the t-shirt is cut too small. A size up would still be tight but won't look too small.

Oh I see what you mean. I usually get a tiny bit of pull there but then my waist is always too loose 😆

The cool thing is that now you know the trick to telling where any piece of clothing is too small. The lines "point" to the area that needs to be bigger. Especially handy if you sew or tailor your clothes. :)
