Verenschens Nähwelt

After the first fiasco I had trying to fit this doublet, I now have a ( much better second fit )

I'm using the free bodice block drafting from Your Wardrobe, and I wanted to rub elbows with folk as are/ have also used this measurement and drafting method in the past. Right now I'm finding that this is the second time I've made it, and the armscye seems small. Has anyone found this to be the case?

If so, is there anything that can explain the smallness of the armscye? Am I taking a poor measurement? Misunderstanding the location? Should I be measuring the back depth of the armscye rather than the front maybe? It's easier to cut away and make a hole smaller, so it's not a make or break issue, but I thought it interesting that I've repeated the same apparent error.

This could be a user problem. I'm intending manipulate darts and make it up to test if my eye is telling me true or if I just overestimate the size of an arm. ;-)
