Lessons Learned: I wanted this to just be a woven T-shirt. Sadly the back was too tight and I couldn’t move my arms in the sleeves. I had just enough fabric to cut the tulip sleeve version, which gives me enough range of motion to wear this top. I don’t love the sleeves though. It’s wearable but not something I’ll reach for.

Next Steps: I chose the tulip sleeve option to make up for it being too tight across the back for regular sleeves. On my next version I’ll either do a proper broad back adjustment or size up altogether.
