Hi, I made a nell toile and it seems to fit fine except it's tight at the armhole near the bust when I move my arms
I made a size 3 bust graded to 5 at the hip. I have a bust of 34inches and a B cup
Any help would be greatly appreciated 💖

What is your upper bust , I think from what it looks you need the fb adjustment . I did one though it did not warrant one but I think you need to add the dart and mine just fit .Â

Upper bust is 33.5inchesÂ
I had the same problem with the TATB Indigo and gave up on that one when I was quite new to sewing 🙈
It's super weird as I dont consider myself as having a full bust 🙈
I'll give it a go though, thank you!Â

It does look like an FBAÂ might be the right thing as the fabric looks like it's bunching and pulling a bit between your bust and armhole. It could just need a minimal adjustment like half an inch.
As this is a toile you could try taking your scissors to it, basically making the cuts that you would for an FBA - make a cut from the front of the armhole down towards your bust apex, then down to the hem. then cut through your dart towards the apex and see how the fabric then falls with a little more space.Â
