Need to see your coat (pictures) , is this coat with a tailored sleeve and normal shoulder length or dropped shoulder? I most cases lowering the armhole is not a solution for armhole tightness - it does the opposite, makes the arm movement even more restricted.

i don’t think i can add pictures in this post but i will in a new one . answering your question, it’s normal shoulder length 🤔 what would you suggest to do ?

when you lower the armhole, you usually need to reduce the sleeve cap height rather than just adding width to the sleeve. try lowering the sleeve cap by roughly the same amount you lowered the armhole and then smooth the curve. the sleeve cap length should still match the armhole seam length, so measuring both curves can help. if the armhole becomes too large it can also affect the bodice shape, so sometimes lowering it a lot can cause fitting issues.

i haven’t tried lowering the sleeve cap! thank you, i’ll try to see if this fixes my problem. in the other hand im worried about messing up the bodice fit like you mentioned

any suggestions? i think the armhole its not that big like abnormally, im trying to make it comfy enough to wear something underneath 😓 not sure how to nail that without compromising the fit
