Introduction
Armhole gapes are loose flaps that make the shirt look weird. They are usually placed underneath the arm. Gapes can come across other parts of the clothing. Repairing armhole gapes is a convenient way to prevent the clothing from looking weird and keeping the nice and fitted shape of the body. It can also help cover more.
