“weird shoulder seaming”

“The tissue-weight fabric and print are really lovely, especially in the "sable" version, which has a light blue background. Unfortunately, though, the shoulder seams are placed unnaturally--too far inward--so the top looks too small across the shoulders and feels too snug in the armholes-- even if you size up. If they were raglan shoulder seams it would be fine, but they're not, so instead, you see the raw edge of the shoulder seam sticking up in an uncomfortable-looking way, kind of like the beginnings of wings! The shirred crew neckline exacerbates the problem by pulling those shoulder seams inward more. Otherwise that neckline COULD be flattering...Too bad: If not for the shoulder seams, this would be a really cute top!”
