Armscye

By Debbie Colgrove, About.com

Definition: Armscye is an armhole in the body of the garment that the sleeve or facing will fit into during construction of the garment.

Any adjustment made to the armscye on the pattern, must also be made to the sleeve of facing so that the pieces will fit together during construction.
