I don't actually understand what do you mean by the front not matching seams, as on the sleeve, there should only be one seam just in the middle of the armhole and one in the back. The seams in the back are not meant to match, most drafting methods produce bodice and sleeve pattern's seams

It´s a modern jacket? From what I´ve learned, in modern custom-made clothing it´s rather coincidence whether the seams match or not. It´s just a design issue. Industrially made garments often have them because they use mock-ups until they achieve matching seams. Hanna At 00:50 06.06.2008,

With tailoring head on, I'd say that on a modern garment, they should match. Generally it's simply a case of fiddling about with both body and sleeve patterns till they do. A little off is less of an issue (up to half an inch or so) - more than that and I'd personally have to alter.

I can do that in the back, but the front sleeve seam is so low, where I think it needs to be, that the front princess seam can't match. It may be that I recall only seeing the back seams match in the past. Sylvia On Jun 6, 2008, at 5:38 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: With tailoring head
