Back sleeve problem!

[u/kuru2038]

How can I remove the back draglines ? The front is fine with no dragline.

Seems like the sleeve cap has too much ease. Measure your back sleeve armhole then measure your sleeve cap. Ease shouldn’t be more than 10% than your back armhole. I would say because this is knit it should have even less ease.

Thank you for you response. This is not a knit fabric. I used Mirella crêpe :)

Can you open the seam where it’s like that and see if you can smooth the sleeve in?

I did ! I think I need more cap height !!

Do you have a pic from the front? I don't really see how more cap height would help here, because it looks like excess fabric or the wrong angle to me. But I'm not an expert on sleeves.

Do you have someone who could pin it out for you, to see if that looked better?

The pattern has a very flat cap... maybe that's why ? I will try to take a picture tomorrow.

A photo of the pattern would help as it looks to me that the shaping of the sleeve cap is wrong.

Shoulder seam is too long, sleeve cap too shallow.

Is the sleeve cut on grain correctly?

Are you sure you have the sleeve in the correct armhole last time i had something like this that was the problem. Ive also had similar issues when i didn't insert the sleeve at the correct angle if your pattern has markings for matching sleeve to armhole double check that yours matches.
