This video barely scratches the surface on the topic of shoulder slope. I talk in-depth about it in my online course "Mastering Garment Ease".

So glad you presented this video - great information and it made me take a closer look at my shoulder slope. I've been learning to draft patterns and discovered I have more forward shoulders and my front low shoulder point is 2" lower than my high neck/shoulder point. And it is very much a straight transition from one end to the other (not concave or convex). I agree that getting the right fit on your shoulders plays a large part in having your garment hang well on your body. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Gina, I have the diagonal drag lines on the back of my slopper when I set in a sleeve. I did pinch out 1/2 at the shoulder. Should I make this adjustment on my slopper? Thank you this video was helpful, my name is Gina too!
Hi Gina! It's always nice meeting other Gina's! :) Yes, if you have a diagonal dragline, then it's a sign the the shoulder slope is not correct for your shape. I recommend updating your sloper. If the across back area is a bit small after you do that adjustment, then I recommend the correction on pages 102-105 in The Fitting Book.

That point is actually the acromion process. It is the top of the scapula (shoulder blade).
