Do raglan sleeves on coats get shortened from the shoulder or the sleeves?
Do raglan sleeves typically get shortened from the sleeve ends or the shoulders? If they’re shortened from the sleeve ends, would it mess things up to re-taper the sleeves after shortening?
I have a coat with raglan sleeves that are a tad bit long. A local seamstress previously shortened sleeves like these from the sleeve ends, but this method widened the sleeve openings which I didn’t like. I suppose I could ask her to re-taper the sleeves after shortening, but I’m willing to pay a little more if there is a better/“proper” way to do this.
