I made a vintage style zipper front dress from a pattern from a book and tailored the arm width

This is how I sewed a vintage style dress with sleeve alterations. I used a book pattern. and show how to widen the sleeves to fit thick arms. In this video I altered the sleeve width when I sewed the Zipper front dress from Gertie Sews Vintage Casual book. I added width by inserting a gore under the arm. Underarm gore tutorial. Beginner friendly or for experienced sewers. I also enlarged the pockets to fit my phone.
