I did the Elma Dress from Fibre Mood and did not like the sleeves, too much puffy for my prefenreces and decided to adapt the pattern. I lowered the sleeve cap by 1 cm and removed excess ease by overlapping each of the three slash lines by 1.6 cm. These adjustments significantly reduced the sleeve cap height and narrowed the upper sleeve. After testing the fit, I identified the need for a small refinement of the cap curve to eliminate the remaining ease and correct the pulling, that I am now exepriencing. I suppose 1,6 cm is too much to overlap. So, the question, how should I had proceed to eliminate the puffiness or shpuld I trace a totally new pattern for the sleeve? Or is there another method I should have tried? In the pictures you can see the original pattern, the variation and the comparison, which of course also result smaller.
