When I reached out to Stephanie of Rad Patterns about adding a sleeve to the Guernica Romper she reassured me that any of her sleeved patterns would work. So I had my choice of patterns to choose from. I picked the Embrace Tee. I already have many similar tops to what she has so it was difficult to choose.


I did my usual adjustments of removing 1/2" above the bust and 1" at the waist. I removed the same 1/2" from the sleeve cap.
The sleeve is asymmetrical, and removing from the sleeve cap and blending the lines can make things a little wonky. It really would be better to match the sleeve to a smaller armscye and copy that onto the pattern. But I prefer my method because... I have no good reason.

As far as fit goes, HOLY BOOBS! My husband approves. I would be more comfortable if the neckline was about 1" higher. There are 2 reasons why my neckline is so low. #1- I need a deep bust adjustment so the fabric is pulling down to try to make more space in the length. #2- I used cotton lycra. A softer stretch fabric may have fit a bit more smoothly and stretched to not cause so much distortion.
All in all though, a good pattern. Even if only to get the armscye and sleeve!
