Broad shoulders

Fitted blouses and tight-fitting jackets are the favorites of the new season! But with broad shoulders, they are usually cramped. What to do? Personal pattern!

Compare your main measurements with the measurements from the burda size chart and adjust the details of the pattern accordingly. If your measure "shoulder length" differs from the one given in the table by more than 2 cm, then for a good fit of the product on the figure, you will also need to adjust the pattern of the sleeve in its upper part.
It can't be easier
For models without sleeves and with one-piece sleeves on the patterns, draw shelves and backs along the auxiliary line from the shoulder to the waist line at a distance of 3 cm from the armhole (1).
Cut patterns along the waist line from the side edge to the auxiliary line and along the auxiliary line slightly before reaching the horizontal section. Place strips of paper under the cuts. At the shoulder, push the edges of the incision to the desired number of centimeters and stick the edges of the wedge-shaped incision on a paper strip. Draw a new shoulder line from the neck to the armhole (2).
For models with raglan sleeves glue the patterns of the halves of the sleeves to the patterns of the shelf and back. Draw a vertical support line from the shoulder to the waist line at a distance of approx. 12 cm from the neck. Cut the patterns along the waist line from the lateral edge almost to the auxiliary line and along the auxiliary line from the shoulder almost to the horizontal section.
At the shoulder, push the edges of the cut to the desired number of centimeters and stick the edges of the wedge-shaped cut to the waist on a paper strip.Draw a new shoulder line (3).
At the end, separate the patterns of the halves of the sleeves from the patterns of the shelf and back.
For models with shoulder coquette to attach patterns of coquette to patterns of a shelf and a back. Pre-cut the pattern of the shirt shoulder coquette along the shoulder line (see transverse mark) (4).
Lengthen the shoulder line (see above and Fig. 1, 2), then separate the coquette patterns from the shelf and back. If necessary, glue the coquette parts along the shoulder line again.
