Yes, Brunhilde weighs about 111 and I weigh about---well, 15 or 16 pounds more than that. She was created when I first got braces on my teeth and I was *skinny*! Sharon, I like mine a bit toward the arm, but I have to balance that with back wrinkles. If the shoulder seam is too far out, it makes the fabric sag below it. Thanks for the suggestions, Katharine.

Perhaps if you shorten the shoulder first, the sleeve will come to the right spot. It looks pretty good to me now, like if you held your arms out straight in front the hem would be at the wrist. Also, if you take up the waist a tad it will now only flatter your shape better, it will take out some of the poofiness at the back waistline--which looks like a positive match for a swayback adjustment. Where is Brunhilde when she's needed to stand in for you? Or has she gone off and lost some weight so she doesn't reflect you currently? ;) Good question from Sharon, I used to wonder about that too.

I know about the bone, but do you like absolutely straight up or do you like it just towards the arm? How do you decide exactly where to place the shoulder/sleeve join.
