elsewhenceman i just printed a fitted sleeve from a burda pattern and the elbow dart is absolutely fucking tiny, just 1.5 cm wide. it also has tons of ease in the wrist. why even bother with a fitted sleeve at that point?
yeah, i'm not going to learn anything useful from this pattern. i was hoping that maybe i'd get some information on how much of a "bend" fitted sleeves usually have... the one i've drafted matches the arm exactly, but that means the front edge is much shorter then the back and has to be stretched to fit, to a degree that isn't really normal. and i was wondering whether rotating some of the dart into the front edge to make them match would produce something close to commercial patterns. seems to actually still be much more shaped, though
EDIT: it's actually just a tapered sleeve with a dart drawn in to reduce the wrist a little, then rotated into the elbow. that's not a proper fitted sleeve at all. what the hell is the point of it?
