Shoulder Slopes

Modified on Sat, 25 Jul at 11:38 AM

Whether each shoulder sits higher or lower than average. Left and right are set on their own, because asymmetry is common.

On a try-on

A high shoulder makes fabric roll or gather under the collar on that side, and more roll means a higher value.

A sloping shoulder makes diagonal folds around the armhole, both front and back, with the fabric hanging loose at the shoulder point.

Without a try-on

Look from the front with shoulders relaxed and compare the two heights. About 1 cm of difference is roughly a value of 1.0. With a well-fitting garment on, check whether the shoulder seam is pulled up or pushed down on one side.

Options

  • High 1.0, High 1.5, High 2.0
  • Regular
  • Sloping -1.0, Sloping -1.5, Sloping -2.0

When in doubt

Asymmetry is one of the hardest things to judge without a fitting, so default to Regular.
