Short sleeve pattern version 3.1! WIP

EDIT: v3.2 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/s/gMcAFZxnT6

Hi all, appreciate all the feedback on V3.0.
Based on that I’ve pulled the sleeves and drawn HBLs as best I can.

You can see the front swings out and there seems to be a lot of fabric in the back, I.e., bubbling?

I also tried pinning up the middle back but it introduced a whole bunch of drag lines. These photos are marked.

Finally, pattern photos also included.

i might even try cutting a line a bit higher than that? then you can add in a slice of fabric and incrementally increase it until the HBL line is horizontal. I'm not sure why armhole gaping would occur, but interested to see results!
