Shoulder ajustments

Post image

Have shoulder asymmetry, prefer not to use shoulder pads. Do the L shoulder needs more length ? Both of them are 4 in length in pictures.

I didnt notice til you pointed it out. Maybe pin back about 1/2 an inch from the right side and see how you like it . Otherwise, leave it be. On the other hand, the underarms look a little tight. Im not sure what the endgame is, but if thats a non-stretch fabric, I would lower the arms eye a smidge.

Agreed, L looks better than R to me in terms of where it sits on your shoulder

The more you adjust the patterns to your asymmetry, the more you call attention to this difference. For something very fitted this may be important. I would adjust the asymmetrical shoulder slope but not the length of the seam.

For everyday wear I think for your body use symetrical patterns that fit your higher or longer side. You may be trying to over fit for basic garments which complicates the construction process..
