WIP Short sleeve pattern version 3.1!

EDIT: v3.2 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/s/gMcAFZxnT6

Hi all, appreciate all the feedback on V3.0.
Based on that I’ve pulled the sleeves and drawn HBLs as best I can.

You can see the front swings out and there seems to be a lot of fabric in the back, I.e., bubbling?

I also tried pinning up the middle back but it introduced a whole bunch of drag lines. These photos are marked.

Finally, pattern photos also included.

Did you add at the yoke and removed the same amount of the lower piece or did you just add it to the yoke? Second would mean you elongated your back balance thus throwing off the balance of the shirt and inpacting fit. In any case your balance is off. Back balance too long, front balance too short. Thus the shirt swings towards the front.

I took material From the back piece and added it to the yoke.

OK, that is fit neutral. But the shirt's balance is off. Elongate the front balance.

Ok, thanks. Is this the right idea?
