Need advice on patternmaking a jacket with open shoulders
Looking for advice from tailors experienced in patternmaking. I'm considering sewing a jacket with open shoulders.


I haven't decided yet — whether for a straight shoulder or for a dropped shoulder. I'm looking at photos and got stuck 😕 — do we move the bust dart in such cases or leave it as is? The question concerns, of course, straight shoulders. Where it's dropped — that's clear. What do you think? ✍





I'd still move it to the armhole. Though it depends on bust size. If the bust isn't large, you might not need to move it; it should sit fine and not gap.
