Armholes when making my own pattern: First trace the arm hole…then draw down like so, across, then out from the shoulder, and join the two lines. The bottom of the sleeve pattern should slightly narrow as it comes out from the armhole.
Changing the shape and height of the sleeve-cap alters the angle that the sleeve joins to the bodice and how restricted or not the movement of the arm will be.
