Hello,
I made the pattern, transferred on tracing paper, cut the fabric, sew the top of the body and the leggings (I started by doing a unitard). When I try it on my gymnast, i had to make the arm hole a lot bigger. I went down under the arm for about 4 cm. I am surprised because this is a very big change compare to the pattern. Is it common ?
Also, I did not cut the sleeves yet because I wanted to make sure (good!) but now I need to modify the pattern of the sleeves, right ?
Everything else fit perfectly ! I just need to practice the opening of the neck...

Unfortunately, I can’t say anything without checking the pattern. In my 10 years of practice, I have never lowered the armhole by 4 cm.Adjustments to the armhole are generally very rare, a maximum of 1-2 cm.
