I'd revert to old knowledge, adjust the shoulder fit to correct lay, then split open the under arm of the sleeve and add a gusset. Its amazing they never actually try out these patterns "in real life" before running them off. Simplicity had the same problem with one of their most popular Lord Of the Rings patten. Guess Elf girls never had to raise an arm either. Hope that helps Melody

What was killing me is that I can't raise my arms in this thing. The model in the first image demonstrates the limit of range-of-motion available. I had trouble just getting my shoulder bag on my shoulder because I couldn't lift my arms enough. How do I fix this? What do I need to adjust on the pattern so I can do more than just stand around and look pretty wearing this top? I don't need to do jumping jacks, but I couldn't even push my hair out of my face without difficulty.
