As for the lack of arm movement, as dressmakers we tend to jump to the complicated fit solutions first when it's something simple :) , so go through the simple things first. To me it looks like there isn't enough "blousing" over the top of the belt to allow movement in the dress. If the dress is short to begin with, Kaitlyn has probably pulled the dress down. Also I know when I wear dresses like this I don't like the look of "blousing" over a wide belt so I pull the dress down but that restricts movement. I hope this is all it is. :)Sew-4-Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340344934860568228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33406737.post-14725827063308425382012-01-19T14:48:57.986-06:002012-01-19T14:48:57.986-06:00Limited arm movement?

If this is the problem, then it could be a broad back adjustment or a prominent shoulder blades adjustment. Bloggers call it different things, but the SlapdashSewist has a good example of what she does.
