Runcarla, that’s brilliant! I have never tried to remove shoulder pads to increase arm length before, and I understand exactly what you are saying about the potential consequences. I believe there is enough fabric here to allow about a full inch of sleeve lengthening.
cjh, your diagram is very helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Angie, if I decide it makes sense, I can keep both the Hobbs and the Tibi.
Karen13, it’s hard to see in the picture, but the sleeves really are a bit too short. They need at minimum 1/2” increase.
lyn67, I end up rolling the sleeves of most of my shirts, and pushing up my sleeves on sweaters, mostly to hide that they are too short!
RobinF, thanks! I am happy to have found a trench in a nice color. One of my big shopping goals for 2019!
ElizabethP, the smaller size is already in the return post.
